Using VB2005 I am trying to display several sites to my user. One of them being[url]... Ive laid down the very basic code just to navigate to the page but every time it tries to reach the site it just hangs. Strange is that Ive downloaded other examples of web browsers with very similar code and Im able to reach the site with no problems. Could the site be banning my specific app from reaching it and if so what mechanism would they use?

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 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.

Ive tried to edit option on the webbrowser control, example javascript enable/disable. but found out that it uses IE's option and cannot be changed.So my question is: Is there a way to do a "webbrowser" without using the WEbbrowser control that is based on internetexplorer? If it is, can i change option example flash and so on?
View 6 RepliesI have a regular application form with a WebBrowser control.I have strung together a .htm file (from a regular text file) which I then assign to the WebBrowser control. In the html file, I have filenames mentioned.I am trying to string together the html in such a way as to give a clickable link or button that will parse into html and open the corresponding file in another WebBrowser control in VB.I have tried using VBScript and JavaScript to put a button in the html.As long as the function or sub I call is also in the same html document, it works, but I really need to transfer the control back into visual basic where I can do the heavy lifting I need to.can I just not do this as a regular VB application? Any way to do it without adding the complication of requiring ActiveX?

I have a webbrowser control, where I show images (bmp files, that the program creates), and I want to add some UserControls to setup the images (as showing layers, or choosing colors to display). Is easy to do appropiate UserControls on VB.NET, and I know almost nothing about HTML, so, I would like to add standard VB.NET UserControls near the images.

I'm tried to make my own web browser by using WebBrowser control in VB.NET 2010. When I run my program it is work fine but when I try to open any link in new window it is opened in Internet Explorer. So how can I start new window in my web browser?
View 2 RepliesI am writing a VB.Net WPF application that needs to display HTML content and websites. I am doing this using the webBrowser control. The application takes a significant performance hit running under x86 and I would really like to keep it set to Any-CPU. However the webBrowser controls need to be 32bit so they can run flash. So is there any way of achieving this? Running the 32-bit webBrowser in a 64bit process, or some alternative control that will manage this and allow me to load HTML from a string and a URL?
View 1 RepliesNow, for this particular project, I have to use the Webbrowser control in VB. I normally wouldn't, But I need to display some modified HTML. So here is my problem.

The Msgbox comes up as soon as you click the button and is empty, No page source.
I'm having an issue loading one of our work websites in a WebBrowser control. In IE, it works fine, but in the wb control, it does not seem to process correctly.There is a frame, "mainframe" which when you click "result", goes back to the "to do list". However, i get a blank page in the frame, and then when i hit refresh, it comes up with a scripted error "Page Already Sent" which i'm not sure what it is triggered by.The pages are JSP pages, and i don't know if that might have some effect, but i'm more confused as to why they would work perfectly in IE, and then not work in WebBrowser control.
View 5 RepliesI'm running a webbrowser control with a custom user agent.when I try to load google with it, there are a number of 'script errors' in the website, which I've hidden by setting 'Scripterrorssupressed' to true. Now however there is still an 'object error' which pops up when i try to load google.Every other website that I've tried loads fine, and when I click 'ok' google runs fine. I'm quite sure its something to do with google 'location services' trying to locate my browser, because it thinks its a cellphone (due to the custom user agent).

View 3 RepliesI am creating an application for my own use in Vb.net to auto fill forms and submit the form (log in) to various websites....(bank sites, credit cards etc..the require a login)
I am using the webbrowser control on my windows form and I can sucessfully populate the controls on the form (userid, password etc), by setting the value property of the HTML Form Element using... HtmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName("Input").
My problem is that I cannot click the login button via code, sometimes it's an image and sometimes it's an actual button depending on the site that I'm auto logging in to, in both cqases the end result should me submitting the form.
Is it possible to autosize a webbrowser control? I mean I want it to be just big enough to show whatever HTML content I load into it (without scrolling), and no talller.
Or, alternatively, how do I find the height of a given HTML document? Once I do that, setting the height of the Web Browser is easy.
I've been working on a project that requires that I can go around webpages with different proxies, user-agents, and clear cookies. Now after looking all around the net, it looks like there are some solutions for each of these, but I can never get them working. I was wondering if there was a wrapper for this control that fixed all of these problems or even just a different control I could include.
View 1 RepliesI have a .NET ActiveX/COM Object which has a WebBrowser control (among other controls such has buttons, etc) inside it.
This object seems to load fine, the buttons are displayed and working but, for some reason, the WebBrowser control doesn't show up!
Is there some limitation for this in IE (e.g., is IE afraid of something recursive, etc.)? Is there a way that I can overcome it?
I am using the WebBrowser control in a windows form C# project and wanted to know if there are any limitations of how many instances of such application you can have running at the same time. (in other words does MSFT enforce any limitations other than physical machine limits - CPU/memory etc)
View 3 Repliesi am trying to create a dll containing a webbrowser control. What i want it to do is this: i have a form which calls a function from that dll. the dll naigates to a webpage, say "www.google.com". after it navigates, it reads a string from the page body and executes some actions with it. The problem is, when the form calls the function inside the dll, the webpage is not loaded inside the dll, so there is no string to read. If i run the code of the dll as a windows application, the form loads, it navigates to the web site and reads the string... how should i modify the code inside the dll so when a form calls the funtion inside it, it first loads the webpage, and after that execute the called function? a sample of the code is here, this is the code which i compile as a dll:
Imports SpeechLib
'Imports System.Speech
'Imports System.Speech.Recognition
