I use webbrowser as File Explorer.
If you click folder it opens new folder contents in WB window but if you click html document it opens in EXTERNAL viewer.
How do you get html document to open in WB while exploring ?
I really hate asking all these questions, but my firewall blocks a lot of the links provided in examples on this forum. (Most forums)

code works great for some folders but there is an issue when trying to change the folder view to "View Details" programmatically for certain folders.I'll try to explain my issue without using a screenshot:1.)

View 4 RepliesQuestion for all of the more experienced programmers out there. I am working on a program with a tab control. One tab will hold a webbrowser control within it. What I am trying to accomplish to have it pull a specific url from my website to the webbrowser control if the person is connected to the internet, BUT if they don't have a internet connection at the time, I would like to display a local html file instead
View 4 RepliesI am writing a program that will search the hard drive for particular files. Once it's done, I'd like the results to display like a folder. For example: If I looked for log files in c: and c:Windows, I would want to put those files in a 'virtual directory' and be able to manipulate them -- as you would in Windows Explorer.
The only thing I can think of that is similar is the search companion, but this software must be compatible with Windows 7.
I know it is possible to display a real folder (i.e. c:windows) in the webbrowser control, but can you have your own virtual directory and only view files that you want in it?
I made a simple application for a website, the site has a IRC-chat and the program should let you close the window (or actually minimize it to the system tray), and then open it from the tray.the problem that occurs, is that I keep getting a Script Error from IE:url...the weird part is that this does not happen when using Internet Explorer on it's own.so it only happens within the WebBrowser Control in the application I made.the application, also, couldn't be more simple, it had just a single window with only a webbrowser control that loads url..., further the program only has a Notification Icon and a Contextual MenuStrip for the Notification Icon.

What I'm trying to do is load a URL and grab the text from it.The text on the file I'm using is simply a 1, that's all. However, when the messagebox shows, it's empty. I've tried using google.com as the URL and got the same response, so that means it's somewhere in my code here.
I'm trying to make my word doc show up in the webbrowser control.
Dim strFileName as string = "c: empmyFile.doc"
Me.WebBrowser.Navigate(strFileName, False)
The word document is opened by the Word Server, and the Webbrowser displays "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Anyone know how to do this this, or is there another control I can use to display my document before printout?
How do I get the text of the display of a webbrowser control? Not the source! I mean the text that I get when, for example, I copy a web page and paste it into Notepad.

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

In VB6 I used internet explorer object a lot. There things internet explorer object can do that webbrowser control cannot. For example, internet explorer object is easier to debug because when the application is in debug mode, internet explorer object is still interactive with client. Also we can clear cookies and resstart with internet explorer object. We can do ie.quit, then set ie=new internetexplorer then ie.visible=true
In vb.net internet explorer object becomes webbrowser control and I have no way to do that? How can I delete cookies and then restart webbrowser control? How can I tell webbrowser control to "quit" or destroy it self? That sort of thing.
We would like to use the WebBrowser control to display web pages. However instead of using the computer's network connection we want to pipe HTTP (and other) requests and responses through a custom connection.
View 1 RepliesI need to know how to control an object inside a frame on a web page. Actually, all I need to do is to be able to change the innerHTML of the body of the frame. The frame's id is "content_ifr". I've tried using the "getElementByID" method of the document to get the frame, and then setting that frame's document's body's innerHTML, but it didn't work.

For example, I am trying to work with twitter for posts. I know twitter has an API but I want to work with many similar systems and want to avoid the API as its case specific and I want to scale things within the VB.Net form. The login fields for twitter are easily handled, however the posting field once your logged in is just a text area with a class. There is a tagname but I have been unable to post using the tagname element.Any examples of posting to twitter without the API ?
