I've been trying to make a browser for a while now, and I still can't figure out how to make favorites or history. Well for history i can get to where it lists but it won't save, so when I close it erases it. I don't care which method, i just want to know one working way. So if you guys could help me with making history and favorites that would be great!

View 7 RepliesMy latest VB.NET project has been making a webbrowser. I now want to expand it's functionalities and create a bookmarking system. Would making a folder somewhere and storing files in it as the bookmarks be the best way to do it? Could someone also provide or teach me a way to use a 'for' loop to add all the bookmarks into a menu.
View 14 RepliesI don't get this to work! I've 'added' the Bookmarks of the FAVORITES folder to a menu on a MenuStrip in a Windows Form - however, whatever I try, they do not open in my Webbrowser Control. Instead they 'open as a download' and then open a new IE Window with the correct site.

Is there a simple way?Listing SPEC's is not a review.
I'm trying to use a menustrip to control the 'bookmarks' function of my webbrowser.
The idea being, when the user opens form2 to add a new bookmark, he enters the url and name they want associated with the bookmark and then when they click the "save" button, it will add a new toolmenustripitem to the menustrip in form1, that, when clicked, will take the webbrowser in the currently selected tab to the url they specified in form2 the adding of the toolstripmenuitem was simple under the save_click event:
Code:
Dim bookmrk As New ToolStripMenuItem
bookmrk.Text = TextBox1.Text
bookmrk.Name = "bkmrk"

I am working on a tabbed web browser with status bar and combo box history. I am running VS Visual Basic 2008 EE on Windows Vista Home Premium. Anyways, the problem I am having is I can't get the status bar to show the status of current browser window, nor can I get the combo box to save the history of sites that are typed in. I am using tabcontrol's for the browser window. I have used code that I have run across on the web and youtube tutorials. This is the basics of what I have pieced together.[code]
