Is it possible to show custom text in the AddressBar of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer (IE8) without causing IE to navigate to a different link?For example, I want to show a page that is saved at K:ReportsSmith_JohnReport.html, but I want the AddressBar to display "John Smith's Report".

We are using SHDocVw.InternetExplorer in VB.Net to navigate to a web page and insert the login credentials since we have to log into multiple accounts throughout the day. We want to be able to be logged into to multiple accounts in different windows at the same time, but I don't know how to get a new session started.If I log into account A, and then try to log into account B, it opens a new window but is automatically account A, since the browser remembers being logged in with that session.Is there a newSession or something similar that I can call that will get around this problem?
Edit: is this something can can be done using the Navigate function by setting a header?
in outlook, I use the code below.I open an url, than a second one.I want that the second has the same properties than the first. That is not the case with my code.How can I determine what is my second window, let's call it child, so that I can then do
Sub open2windows()
Dim IE
Set IE = Nothing

I noticed that the BeforeNavigate2, NavigateComplete2 and DocumentComplete events are not thrown by SHDocVw.InternetExplorer if the user clicks the Refresh button. I need to handle all of these events when our users navigate to various links.
View 3 RepliesI have a leagcy application written in VB6 which makes posts to URLs using the InternetExplorer.application object.Once a post is made i would like to be able to see the status which was returned (i.e. 404 - page not found)
I can't find any properties of the object which will give me this information,
I need to temporarily hide the control in SHDocVw.InternetExplorer (IE8) that displays the contents of a web page. Setting the SHDocVw.InternetExplorer.Visible property causes the entire form to be hidden. I only need to temporarily hide the control that displays the web page (i.e., the control that is analogous to System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser in .Net). The Internet Explorer form and all other controls (including the tab that is associated with the web page) should remain visible.
My first thought is to iterate through all of the child controls of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer, search for the control that displays the web page and then set its Visible property, but I'm not sure how to do this because SHDocVw.InternetExplorer is a COM object.
The following line of code return several InternetExplorer objects even though I have only one browser window open (no tabs) and only one iexplore.exe process running. How do I only get the open browser window object?For Each ie As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer In shellWindows

View 2 RepliesI am using custom textboxes and I need to be able to set the Text on txb1 based on the Text of txb2. I have simplied my code to the following:
Public Class customtextbox
Inherits TextBox
Public Event ControlReset()
[Code]....
So, when txb1 looses focus, if its Text is "fried", then it sets off txb2's ProcessAlert function. I had tried to change the value of txb2 Text in ProcessAlert function, but didnt work, so I tried to get it to raise an event instead, which then tries to set the Text property. However I still cant set txb2's Text property. The Text property seems to be set for the duration of the "life" of the Event handler. When I step through the forms controls within the Event handler, the changed Text value is there, but not outside of the Event handler.
I have one project created with VB 6.0. Step to reproduced this issue,
1. Start Internet explorer and add the site "[url]" to trusted site. now set protected mode check box to Off for the trusted site zone.

3. From Tools -> references add "Microsoft Internet Controls".

View 6 RepliesIm creating a simple application to search and manipulate a database.I want to add a text box to search a name but I want the textbox to be eyecandy. I dont want the traditional textbox.I dont know how to make custom controls.
View 13 RepliesI have made a custom control and the only change to the interface is that its a different color. Whenever the user moves their mouse over the control some white text fades in in the middle of the user control. Then after a few seconds the text fades out. The text is actually the location of the cursor but I have that figured out.
View 4 RepliesHow can I go about making text linkable. I do not wish to display the valid url, instead just a filename or word phrase.
As you can see below, I tried inserting a linklabel control into the rtb. but the link label does not anchor to the rtb so that when I scroll it, it remains in the same place.
I would prefer to somehow turn regular text within the rtb into a link and associate it with a url. Then call the sub linkclicked to process the action.
Public Sub MakeLink(ByVal sText As String)
Dim rr1 = Regex.Replace(sText, "<html.*?<h6>Attachments</h6>", "Attachments", RegexOptions.Singleline)

View 5 RepliesI have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?
View 5 RepliesI was wondering if there is a recommended text for the creation of custom controls? I know a few years ago this book was out: Developing Microsoft .NET Controls with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Pro Developer)
It was published in 2003 I think. I have a great deal of experience in VB but not in actual control development, so I don't need a primer on classes and properties and the like. Wondering if this would still be worth it? I never dove into this part of VB and .NET before.
I am making a custom button control and am having some difficulty with my Text property. Anything I type in only stays while the form designer window is open. When I close the form designer and reopen it, my Text property resets to "". Also if I run the program, it loses the value entered at design time.
I also have an Image property for my control which is working just fine.
Here's some of my code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Windows.Forms

I did some googling and found this forum post, and here is what I needed to do:
Imports System.ComponentModel
