View 3 RepliesI am making a webbrowser,how to prevent my browser from opening new IE windows. Because what happens is, there are some links that will open new windows and therefore IE comes in place because it is set as default windows browser which I really don't want because my browser looks really bad if it opens links in another webbrowser.I want it to be just a basic browser, it has only one window, and it should navigate within that window. This is because the browser is integrated in a bigger application only for some website applications that are related to this main application.I am using VB.net 2008 Express Edition?
View 9 RepliesI'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.
View 4 Replieswhat I'm trying to do is setup my browser so that when I click an input field like a username, password, etc I would have a screen pop up where I can assign the "id" or "name" of the tag to a variable.

I know how to open local .msg files in webbrowser in html format.The problem is when the .msg has embedded pictures, the only thing that appears is a blank space ("picture not found") where it is supposed to be.If I open the .msg file in Outlook, I see the images correctly, but in my program I can't see embedded pictures.

View 2 RepliesI am creating a webbrowser with Visual Basic, and I have finished everything but this: When I click on an external link, (I.E. On a photo, or on youtube) it opens up in a new IE window. I want it to open in my browser, not Internet Explorer.I have read everything I have found on this subject, but it is all for normal web browsers. I want to do this for a tabbed web browser, not one without tabs. Basicly, I want to use this code with my tabbed web browser that uses tab control.
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender
As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow

convert the code to be used in a browser with tabcontrol? I tried, and it works with one that DOESN'T use it, but I want to use it with my browser with tabcontrol. And, I have read ALL of the ones previously given to other people.
so I had an idea today while modding a game I play. I decided to make a mod-manager.In order to start the game with mods, you have to go to the website, log in, click playnow and view the source of the html file. From there you get the sessionID variable and add it to a shortcut on your desktop. I wanted to be able to automate this process by doing the following:
on button1.click: somehow parse the source of the html file to locate the line that looks like chis:
var sessionId = 'random26charSessionID'; and take what is inside of the ' ' and add it to textbox1.text
Any ideas? Not sure if it will be in the same line every time with add banners and stuff...so I wanted to parse the doccument.
But now I have a need to allow the user to choose a folder path without selecting a file. Basically a folder location, on the local hard drive where my code will read the files located in the choosen folder and process against them.
I am drawing a total blank and my web searches are not giving me what I am looking for.
I initially developed this with a Windows FolderDialogBrowser control, but it will not run on the web server, likely a security issue, and I can not change it.
Public Class FolderBrowserDialogExampleForm
Inherits Form
Private folderBrowserDialog1 As FolderBrowserDialog

I know this shouldn't be as hard as I have found it to be, but I could use some help on a problem.

I am using the function below to open the user's default web browser.
Public Function ShowHelp(ByVal url As String) As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim startInfo As New Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
startInfo.FileName = url
[Code]....
A couple of times the function returned the error (on users machine) "the system cannot find the file specified"
I guess the user has not set a default web browser. Why i get this error? How could i add a default web browser check before calling this function?
Done quite a bit of looking but not finding what i need. From a win form i'd like to open up a web browser passing in a url. But i need to provide authentication while doing this. I tried just using a system.diagnostics.process.start("http://userid:pw@site") but that does not work. Was hoping someone could lend a hand.

so is there anything else that can be done to get IE to work.. cause i'm thinking that would allow the above code to work as well.

recently im programming PHP for web based approach and i've been using ready made browser like firefox as my application. But now im switching it to custom browser with visual basic. I've created my own custom browser and it seems ok. but my question here is, how to open up a new browser (new VB browser window) as same as we open a new browser in firefox. I've been using html code that opens new window, but it open up explorer browser instead and it took very long time to open. I want it to open up as VB browser with my php codes inside. Is there any html or php code that could open new vb browser window? instead of explorer or firefox window.

I am working on a tabbed web browser and it is going great! Only one problem! When someone presses on a link that has a target of _blank or a new window, it opens in IE!
I have tried things like:
Private Sub newbrowse_newwindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
e.Cancel = True
End Sub
but that only cancels IE from opening. What I want is it to open in a new tab. I have set it so that NewTab() opens the new tab to the users homepage.
Basically, I need to find out how to get the URL of what the browser is trying to open.
I am having an issue with using a VB 2008 web browser control to view local folders in Windows 7.I have an app that allows the user to browse local folders using a web browser control within a winform. This app has been working great with all of the users that currently have Win XP and Win Vista. However, with Win 7, every time a folder within the Web browser control is double clicked on (to navigate into its contents) Win 7 opens a new windows explorer window to display its contents.

View 1 RepliesI have added "Microsoft Web Browser" to my windows form and I am trying to use AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("c:/file.xls") to load an excel file in the browser but it is launching the excel file outside the window? What am I doing wrong?
View 1 RepliesI'm working with windows forms application in vb.net 2008 express ed. I used openfiledialog to open all types of files in the computer. When I searched on the web I found out to use the web browser control so I used it and it did open a file in any types. I realized about using a web browser control to open a file that all images such as jpeg, gif, and bmp as well as text files are just being opened or browsed within the control. All I want to do and all I want to know is I want to open all the files separately from the control just like opening with excel, word and all types of video files which will be opened separately from the control and your application because I am hiding the web browser within the form since this is a winform application. If this possible, How would I do that? I would like also to know if there's any way to open a file without using a web browser control? If there's no way, I just want to know how to modify my codes by throwing a message box if the user attempts to open a text files and images. Below is my codes I used.

For the kicks I decided to write a very basic RSS reader at work. Though this is probably more work than it is worth I would still like to know if it is achievable. Currently it pulls down the xml information from the feed and turns it into a HTML page which is then read by a webbrowser control within the form.
The issue I have ran into is that because I wanted to keep my form a nice small program to run on the desktop when there are links included in the feed it opens the links within the browser control which is to small to read the entire page. I would like for any links within the feed to open in the default web browser installed.

Imports System.Xml

View 15 RepliesSo I tried to use:
system.diagnostics.process.start("[URL]")
But it comes up with an error saying "Win32 exception was unhandled" "Application not found".
This code works:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:Program FilesInternet _ Exploreriexplore.exe", "[URL]")
But I would rather the program opens up the default browser of the user.
If an excel document is opened inside a webbrowser control, and you try opening another excel document using a different instance of the same web-browser control, the previous opened excel (inside the web-browser) would not allow users to edit the excel workbook.
