Is there a way to have a desktop vb application take control of an already open browser window? For example, have it mouse click certain coordinates in the window or check if the window contains certain elements.
I've looked at using Microsoft Internet Controls(shdocvw) and MSHTML(IHTMLDocument2) but I am struggling on how to access elements of the browser window (e.g. body.innnerHTML).
Is it possible to open a ms office file (mainly doc or xls) in a web browser control in vb.net.I used
mybrowser.Navigate(filepath) \filepath include path and name of file (c:mydoc.doc)
but it open a dialog box in which I have choices for (save ,open and cancel)
1)save : save the document
2)Open : opens the Doc in a new office document (excel or word)
3 )cancel : cancel it
But I want to open it inside the browser not in the different window or different document window?
I have a windows form that have 5 webbrowser control. I also have serveral links of URLs and each webbrowser will open them. My problem is that after all links already opened, when I close my windows forms, sometimes my application suddenly open my default browser automatically and open url that on my URL list. I already tried to make all webbrowser to navigate to "about:blank"to make sure there are not loading any webpage before I close my application but the problem is still occur. This has given me a headache since this problem is not always occur when I close my application.

View 3 RepliesI have a form with a webbrowser control on it, and I load up a local file in it with some code for a rotating banner (so I can support my app with advertising).The problem I'm having is, it is for example, a banner ad in the small banner sized control, when the user click's it, it loads the new page within the same control, which is way too small.I'd like for any click in the control to load up the link in IE itself, outside of my app. Putting target=_blank so far hasn't helped. Below is the code that I am loading up in my control.

The specific features I want to produce is it doesn't place on the form, it places in the little box at the bottom and when CustomUserControl.Show() is called it shows as a dialog boxI'm sorry if I misspelled something or my grammar is wrong, I've never done well in those subjects.

I'm working on a project. The main form is a MDI parent, it host a control form. on control form, there is a button. when click it, it will start, say 10, threads.
each thread will open a standard alone form (not mdi). on each form, it has a web browser control. when the form opened, it will start a new thread which makes the web browser control load a url, then depends on the links in that url, it will load another url, and loop for some times. then, the thread stops, and the form closes.
for some reasons, I got this weird exception:
AccessViolationException was unhandled by user code. Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupted.
1) the exception happens randomly, and not always happen. when it happens, it is always some code related with the web browser, i.e.
Not (MDIWebBrowser.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
or
MDIWebBrowser.Document.Body.InnerText()
2) I put a try catch in, but, it can not catch this exception. If I just close the exception dialog, sometimes, it keeps running without problems. sometimes, it just pauses the webbrowser control.
so, I did some research. it seems many people had the exact same problem. and it seems the best choice is:
[URL]
I checked all solutions suggested, even manually change the DEP, by using "bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff"
but, the exception still pops up.
In VB6 classical, we could do:
Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.Navigate2 "http://yourSite.com"
End Sub

View 1 RepliesBasic scenario is that I need to programatically fill out a PDFs text fields that resides on a webserver. The fields will be mapped and filled out with data contained in a CSV.

I have designed my app for multiple gridviews. When a user double clicks a row it opens up the data in a modal form and when they commit changes the row gets updated.While they have that modal window open they can not go back to the grid.But I have a alerts/messages window always running (like outlook tasks). As soon as I open the modal window I can not access that tasks window. (Default behaviour)How can I open the modal form and still let the user access/view the tasks window while they work on the modal window.(I tried creating it in a differant thread, but got a lot of cross thread errors so decided to abandon that approach.I thought that 2 modal form can run at the same time as long as they have differant parents. But aparently the main GUI thread pauses as soon as you open a modal window on it.

View 7 RepliesThere is probably a good reason for this but I haven't worked with multiple forms while keeping controls from unloading before.
The process I've always used to open new forms and go back and forth is below. Once I open a new form, get a value from the user and go back to the original form, the checkedlistbox.checkedindices value on the original form is then 0, though it was a positive value when going to the new form (I can tell that the original form is reinitialized when coming back to it so it makes sense that the controls would be empty at that point).
What is the best/proper way to control multiple forms and keep control properties available the entire time?[code]...
What is the best way to access a value of a control within a form outside of the form class. I have a lot of functions defined in a module, one of these functions requires a series of values from controls in my main form such as the FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath element. I understand that these cannot be accessed in the format form.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath and that they need to be accessed using a delegate. This is the part I am stuck with.

I am trying to use the Web Browser control in my vb .net user control. I am using VS 2008. Finally, I will be calling my assembly (.dll) from a web page. I wanted to display the usercontrol with the web browser control inside this web page. The problem is I cannot proceed since the Web browser control cannot be called from a partially trusted assembly. Using VS 2008 I have created a strong name for my class, also added the <Assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()> to the AssemblyInfo. But still the web browser control cannot be seen in my web page. Do you how I can make my assembly fully trusted so that it can access web browser control? If you have used web browser control, can you confirm if this step is really required?!
