Opening A New Window In Browser Instead Of Default Web Browser (I.E. Internet Explorer)?
Sep 29, 2010
I 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
[code]....
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.
I've just finished making a web browser suited for my personal use, but when I click on a new link or something it opens a new window in Internet Explorer - which gets extremely anoying.. Is there a way to make all links open up in a custom browser?
There are certain sites that require login to access certain parts of the site, now the user logs in through Internet Explorer, and now I want thet a web browser will have access too - like that Internet Explorer got. In short: login with IE, and Web browser will got also access to site like Internet Explorer.So if there is a way to do it, i will happy to know.
For security purposes, I need to write a program that tracks the browser history of Internet Explorer on my machine. The way it would work is this: it starts up when the computer does (I'm pretty sure I can do that without a problem), then runs in the background as long as the computer is on. When the user types a URL or clicks a link, the program reads the URL and writes it to a text file. It does not check the browser history, as my situation makes checking the browser history useless. It records the URL as soon as the web page is reached.
I am creating my own browser. I want to make an option...to set as the browser to default.To do that I have to:Write a code which opens html(generally internet) file through my browser(form load event) DoneChange the "open with..." of the .html,.xml.... files Problem I want to change the open with event from my web browser. Actually i want an options form which will ask the user "Do you want to set /Browser name/ to be your default browser?" If yes then it will change the default options of the internet files.
I made a web browser in VB 2008. Does creating a web browser in VB 2008 require Internet Explorer to be installed? If so, than how can i make it so that I build my own unique web browser without it needing the support of Internet Explorer.
I have a page open on Internet Explorer, the site uses the Server.Redirect method which basically keeps the page reading "sitename.com/default.aspx" even when you move to different pages.. so with that said I really can't load it within a web browser on my form application.
I need to auto fill out the fields on an external Internet Explorer, not really in need of actually processing the page.
I have created my own internet browser which is almost finished, I just need one more thing to make it complete.
I need my internet browser to be able to be set as the default browser. I have 2 applications 1 being the browser lets call it browserapp1.exe and I have another app which we will call setasdefaultapp1.exe, setasdefaultapp1.exe will be an application basic form with 2 buttons one to exit and one to make browserapp1.exe the default internet browser.
I understand that to do this I need to edit the registry
When the button on setasdefaultapp1.exe is pressed I want browserapp1.exe to become the default browser in the start menu, become the default for html, htm, php etc.. and also when a link is pressed in an email it needs to load my browser.
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?
So 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.
I am new to VB but am quick at learning and well I'm not one to hit a problem and just ask for help I have been search google, forums and various VB tutorials and YouTube videos trying to find how to do this with no luck.I am creating a program which will basically speed up the process of creating account at the moment I am working on a program aimed at Twitter and I am so nearly finished apart from I have hit a snag.I have 2 browsers in vb one is for Twitter and the other is url...When the verify link comes through in (webbrowser2/incognitomail) and is clicked it opens in IE when I would like it to open in one of the web browsers.I have searched so many sites and forums and found nothing on this subject
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 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. [code]....
i want to open the DEFAULT webbrowser of a computer in a controlled window in vb.net , and inside that windows (of the controlled default browser ) to open a webpage and remain in this page for a certain time ... then open another webpage in the same window and remain again for certain time ....
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
Im using VB2005 express and the app im creating uses the web browser control.Basically I want to know if its possible to make the web browser control connect through a different ip address and port from your default web browser.
Just a quick qquestion. My application opens a web browser window with the click of a button. Today it looks like this: Process.Start("[URL])(It's not this website, but this is just an example.) This will open the requested website with a specified number at the end of the adress.
I coded a web browser over the course of a year called Nova - very advanced with tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, etc etc etc etc. I could go on all day about how advanced it is. But.. there is one flaw. You cannot make it the default browser; I don't know the code!I already know the CommandLineArgs stuff so it actually opens the HTML file rather than just opening the program; in fact, I already can make files open with Nova completely. It's just the other stuff - you know, when a website is to be opened from a help file or something, it opens with Nova, Windows recognises it as the default browser, stuff like that.
Other topics around the Internet are all unfinished topics, so I'll ask this myself. How do I set a self-made browser as the default browser? I know it has something to do with accessing the registry and checking what the value is in some places, but I'm not quite sure. Now, I've made this browser called Nova;
very well coded and advanced, tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, can change default search provider, uses Gecko as its engine so it's not just an IE shell, etc. It's been developed over the past year and will still continue to be developed. I'm almost ready to release the first version - but I just need this annoyance solved.
How do I make my web browser made in visual basic the systems deafult web browser, as well how do I make a feature that checks that the program is the deafult browser.
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 have used, and am familiar with the FileUpload control, 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.

Q1: If I'm making a Web Browser with Visual Basics how would I make windows detect it so I can set it to my default browser?
Q2: How do I make it so when you click a link in your custom web browser that it opens a new window in your web browser, say I click a button on the internet and it opens in IE and I wanted it to open it in my custom web browser that I made with VB.
Well I am trying to make a exe that shows a swf game(Club Penguin). When ever I run the exe and login to the swf game, A Internet Explorer Window pops up and its title has some javascript. After a few minutes the window closes and I get an error:Internet Explorer cannot download.Unspecified error.After this the game runs fine, But if I go to a room or something in the game, It does the same as above. (You might need to play Club Penguin in a Visual Basic Program to see what I mean.)
I need help to capture the Url of my open internet explorer window.... I need it to go into the URL variable that i have created. Can i do this if so how? Whatever you come up with can you explain it for me as ive only just started and want to understand it.Here is a copy of my code so far:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Webbrowser1 As Object Dim URL As String
