How do I add Favorites/Bookmark features and Tabbed feature to my own web browser?
View 1 RepliesIn a Word automation project in Visual Basic 2005, I am trying to reference a bookmark in the bookmark collection using its index. However when I try to do this, the program aborts with the message that "The requested member of the collection does not exist". I am using the index so that I can refer to the subsequent member of the bookmark collection from the one matching my selection criteria. Here is a snippet of code which causes the error. In the listing below, the Debug line causes the error.

We have a Dell laptop used to run an in-house VB.NET program. It got a virus. We had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch. We use Windows XP Pro, which is what was installed on it before. But now our VB program won't run. After trying and despairing of getting remote debugging to work, I actually installed Visual Studio 2005 on the machine, just long enough to get information about what was making the program fail. And the failure was most peculiar. It isn't in our code. It's in the VB setup code that loads the main form. And it says, "Error loading form: class not registered."The gory details are given below. Now here's the strange thing. Not every VB.net program fails on this computer. And the program that fails, fails only on this computer; it has run successfully on several other Windows XP systems with .NET Framework 2.0 installed.[code]

Im trying make my application display my splash screen for 5secs before loading my main form. I have read lots of threads on this and they all seem to point to the following:Add the following code to the New() sub of the splashscreen.
My.Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I have also seen a suggestion to add the following code to the OnInitilalize event in the ApplicationsEvents file.
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
I've have tried both ways, and although it successfully makes my splashscreen wait 5 seconds before closing, it doesnt prevent the Main form from waiting for the splashscreen to close before loading. The mainform simply loads over the top of the splashscreen.This thread is exactly what im after but i cant seem to get mine to work.

I have application framework enabled. I have my startup form set to my main form, and i have set my splashscreen in the application tab of my project properties. Im using VS2008.I also noticed that when i clicked on the "View Application Events" button in the application tab of my project properties, the file was blank. I have seen that some other people have had problems with this. I just cut and paste the following code into my ApplicationEvents file. Potentially an issue??? Any reason why the code was not auto-generated to begin with?

there's an img src=blah on a web page that I am loading with a webbrowser control, and I want to alter it to say img src=blahblah instead ... What I've been doing so far is waiting for the document to complete, doing a .replace, then saving the file to the hard drive, and finally navigating to that local altered version.I was wondering if it's possible to skip the step of replacing and reloading the local page, and instead, just dynamically alter the original source code of the page AS it's loading the first time. Can this be done?

View 3 RepliesI need to get the url of the webpage the webbrowser is navigating to, but since the code executes faster than the webbrowser navigates to the webpage, it gets the url of the last page. I cant use DocumentComplete Event because i have a tabbed browser,

View 5 RepliesWebBrowser Example.zip IntroductionBecause the WebBrowser control that we use in .NET is a COM control, not all of its uses are straightforward and some of them (even those which seem like they should be easy) require that we dip into our Interop toolbox in order to properly implement them.
A perfect example of this is loading HTML content into the WebBrowser from memory, rather than a file or a URL. Anyone who's ever used the WebBrowser control before is familiar with the Navigate2 method, which tells the control to load content from a URL (or path to a file). Loading HTML content from memory, however, is a rather elusive practice because of the many steps involved in making it work.
MSHTML.HTMLDocumentYou might notice that the WebBrowser control exposes a "document" property. The object returned by this property can be coerced to the type of "mshtml.HTMLDocument" (you must add a reference to MSHTML to your project in order to make this work) as follows:
Code:Dim clsDocument As mshtml.HTMLDocument = CType(WebBrowser.Document, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
(NOTE: You will have to add a reference to the COM library MSHTML to your project to make this compile)
Once we create an instance of HTMLDocument, a whole new world opens up to us, providing all sorts of DOM access to the content of any given Web page.
If we were to create our own HTMLDocument object from memory, we could use the "write" method to write HTML content to the document from a string variable, like this:
Code:'initialize the document object within the HTMLDocument class... clsDocument.close() clsDocument.open("about:blank")
'write the HTML to the document using the MSHTML "write" method... Dim clsHTML() As Object = {sHTML} m_clsDocument.write(clsHTML) clsHTML= Nothing
WebBrowser Control ImplementationUsing the HTMLDocument returned by the "document" property of the WebBrowser control, however, is not as straight-forward. Because of the way that this object is created and initialized in memory (by the COM WebBrowser control), the "write" method fails when called as above. In order to write content to the HTMLDocument exposed by the WebBrowser control, we must first marshal the string value to a memory space that is compatible with COM. Once the string is properly marshalled, the COM interface IPersistStreamInit (implemented by the HTMLDocument class) must be used to pass the value into the object.
Interop DeclarationsIn order to pull all of this off, we must declare several Interop pieces, including an enumeration, a function, and two interfaces. The declarations for these pieces are as follows:

Is it possible to load HTML content into the HTMLDocument object without having to use the WebBrowser control? I have an html file stored locally that I want to parse in order to find out which checkboxes are on and which are off.
All of the examples I've found use the Webrowser. It just seems convoluted to have to use the WebBrowser in order to get to a DOM object.
I currently have a main page called "ShowFrames.php" that has this html code in it:
[Code]...
I have loaded "ShowFrames.php" onto my WebBrowser1 control and it loads both of the frames onto the webbrowser control. Now my question is, how can I get the source of either of the iframes WITHOUT loading that frame by itself? For instance, when you load 2 frames on a screen in Firefox, it lets you right click on it, and select "This Frame" > "View Source" so you can view the sources separately. Can anyone tell me how I can duplicate this and put the source in variable strSource? I know that to get source code for a page, you need this WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHtml But I dont know where to go from there in order to get a specific iframe's source.
I have been tasked to do a project, and have been given a list of links from the client - what the Project needs to do is:1 - open google with a specific search phrase - no problem2 - look on that page for any links containing any member of the list of links, if found, invalidate the entry in the list, and auto-click the link, then go back3 - repeat for any other "finds" on that page4 - when done, auto-click on "Next" (no problem) and go back to step 2For now, I am not even attempting to auto-click the found link and go back, I am just listing all found links in a TextBox. The problem I am having is waiting for the next pages to load before looking for a match in the list of links. I tried using webBrowser.DocumentCompletedto set a Boolean - I tried testing WebBrowserReadyState in the DocumentCompleted event ar the code below gives the best results but it is inconsistent, meaning it completely misses some pages that I know have links on them that match.
