Stop Links From Opening In Default Browser
Jan 29, 2012
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

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

is there a way to detect a person clicking a link inside WebBrowser1, and then i can do
Process.Start(TheURL)
And then return the action as false so it doesn't click the link in the webbrowser object and just the process.

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.

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.
PS: I'm using Visual Basics 2008 Express Edition.

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 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'm making a Tabbed Web Browser, and it's nearly finished! There's one problem, though - when I click on some links, it opens them in Internet Explorer. What I want is for them to open in a new Tab. To be honest, this is the only part of VB.NET programming I'm really bewildered about. The current code for my main form (I have put in 3 forms) is here:
Imports System.Net.WebRequestMethods
Public Class Form1
Dim int As Integer = 0
Dim Browser As WebBrowser

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 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.

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.

What I'm trying to achieve is something similar to an Add-on called Live Http Headers used with Firefox. I'm not trying to get the Headers or cookies, but the links that load on the page itself. Let us assume I visited Mail.Yahoo.com, this is pretty much what you would see when I use the add-on.
CLICK HERE How can I achieve something similar ? Only the links that load on the page itself.

Im making a "offline viewer" which uses saved webpages.I'm using a web browser and a tree-viewer. Currently when you click a link for a file/ installer (for example if you click on the "The Gimp" installer link) you have to right click, and then "save target as..." and then save it (so you would then two copys of the same file) AND then open it.Is there way i could have the file open when the link click? (Again, for example, the running of The Gimp installer apon clicked, or the opening of the video file when clicked)

I can't figure out how to make my web browser open links in a new page or tab instead of IE. I've tired at least a dozen different sets of code. None of them can be manipulated to fit my browser. When my browser first starts, there's an empty tab control. I put a new webbrowser in it at runtime and set it's dock to fill. I create new instances of the browser for new tabs as well. I just can't find how to make it open links in new windows.

I decided it was about time I learned about accessing Microsoft Office products via VB.NET. I started with Excel and it all worked fine, I could create a new Excel Application, open a workbook from file and read from the sheet then close it all down again no worries. However, when I turned to Word...things got strange. Using the code provided below, every time I run it an instance of Microsoft Word opens itself on the desktop (with no loaded content). I didn't have this problem when using Excel with similar code, so I have to ask..what gives? Is there a way I can stop MS word opening at all? At the moment it just flickers for a second (it opens when I open the document, then when I call the Quit method it shuts down a split second later)[code]...

This is a rather odd problem i am running into I currently have a web page that i am adding hyperlinks to that when clicked will open a file (usually Word file though there are some Excel files). Here's the problem. When debugging all of the files do open properly, however, files labeled .doc, .docx, or .xls all end up stopping debug mode when they open. I have .docm files that open properly and do not stop debugging. There isn't an error thrown anywhere just a forced stop of debug mode it seems.
Has anyone ran into a problem similar to this? I have only tested locally but i am unsure if it will cause problems when putting it on the test server. I'm still not quite done with the rest of the page so i was hoping to stop this behavior before completeing the project.
