Opening A New Window In Browser Instead Of Default Web Browser (I.E. Internet Explorer)?
Sep 29, 2010I 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.
.net - Opening Default Web Browser
Oct 13, 2009I 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?
VS 2008 - Opening Default Browser With Specified URL
Oct 31, 2010So 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.

Windows - Opening A Local Folder Browser From Web Browser
Nov 8, 2011But 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.

Make A Custom Made Browser Default Browser
Feb 12, 2012I 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.
View 3 RepliesMake A Custom Made Browser The Default Browser
Feb 11, 2012Other 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.

Opening New Window In VB Browser?
Mar 16, 2012recently 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.

Is there any html or php code that could open new vb browser window? instead of explorer or firefox window.

VB Web Browser - Stop IE From Opening?
Sep 11, 2008I 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.
Cannot Keep Web Browser Control From Opening A New Window
Oct 20, 2009I 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 RepliesOpening A File Using Web Browser Control?
Mar 7, 2011I'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.

Opening Links In Alternative Browser?
Jan 7, 2010For 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.
