I have a VB.NET application and a timer that refreshes the webbrowser every 5 seconds on the application. Now it works 100% fine with Windows Vista. It also works fine on another computer that has Windows XP. But when i come to run this application on my server that has Windows XP installed the application will just not refresh. Is there anything that i can do to code it to FORCE refresh the browser every 5 seconds?

I am writing an ap that monitors a website for changes. The website is for reserving campsites and I need to know when they change the date we can book a reservation. The date can change at midnight or any time during the day. It is completely random.I start the program launching a webbrowser with the URL. I have an inputboxbutton that prompts for the text to track for change.

I am a complete noob at programming, so I need all the help I can get with my new program.I am building a web-browser which is linked to one webpage. The content of this page is constantly changing, so I need the web-browser to auto-refresh after 2 minutes. But if it refreshes while NOT connected to the Internet, the browser will show an error message, so that is why I have build in an Internet check. This check is working. The browser also have to be in the same place at the screen every time the software is loaded. This code is also working.
But the timer and the refresh is bugging me. I cannot get it to work. The code is not responding.

I want to make a program in Visual Studio 2008 in Visual Basic. It involves a web browser and I want to make it auto refresh and allow people to choose the time period in which they want to auto refresh. It won't take user input but I have checkboxes that are preset. I think this may be possible using a timer and the WebBrowser1.Refresh() method. If I am mistaken, please correct me and tell me how to do this.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a google maps ap, and want to refresh the map with new detail on demand. The initial problem offcourse was that the webbrowser control does not reflect the changes (still keeps the original htmltext) and new document text and refresh. I understand the document text is set once, and cant be changed... apparently.
I have tried
navigate("about:blank")
document.stop
document.new(true)

All the collected user knowledge on this problem, only get me half way. I can get the page refreshed using some of the techniques above, but it then gives me a script error and an error 53, which both has no details or origins.. just blank errors.... after clicking through their error windows, my page refreshes.P.S. I don't know if my javascript events that are bound to the webbrowser control causes the errors. Some have suggested that the errors are due to the document loading without all its references being closed/open...
I'm working on a webcrawler in VB.net, and using the System.Forms.WebBrowser object for handling navigation on sites that use javascript or form posts, but I'm having a problem. When I navigate backwards (WebBrowser.GoBack()) to a page that was loaded with a form post, the page has expired and I have to do a refresh to resend the request. When I call a refresh (WebBrowser.Refresh()), a dialog box pops up to confirm. Is there a way I can get around this modal dialog in code?

View 4 RepliesThere is PreviewKeyDown but I don't know how to prevent it from passing the keypress to the browser using that method & WebBrowserShortcutsEnabled will disable them but not allow other stuff like Control+C,Control+V and even the delete key in a textbox wont function as well as technically any F keys will not be passed to the flash I have running in the web browser control so the reason for disabling was made moot because the keys still aren't usable in the flash game either because they don't function at all anymore or it has an action already(F5-refresh)How do I disable it without stopping it from being used by the underlying webpage - flash in this example....
Return returns execution to it so it ends up calling keydown like normal, there is no actual keydown event for the webbrowser control or id use that....I cant block navigation because a refresh appears to not call any of the navigation stuff....End stops execution of the whole program it seems, not just stopping that part of code in its tracks...Stop just pauses the program in the debugger....Exit has the same result as return does....
Is there no way to either use PreviewKeyDown to not return execution to the caller....or maybe some kind of await procedure(visual Studio 2011 & its await procedures/async procedures) or something which will never finish... them using it a lot(the F5 key) wont use a lot of cpu while it waits for something that would never happen....Or just any other method which could make this work how I need it....
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and have been slowly getting into threading. My current project has a form with a button that in turn starts two threads. The form itself has two labels on it that are used to display the progress of the computations. Each thread has a delegate defined to change the value of the respective label (as the labels are not defined in the thread, but on the form itself). The threads call subs from a separate class. All of the calculations work flawlessly. My problem is that the labels do not visually update. Through use of message boxes at the end of each loop, I know that the label text property is, indeed, being changed, but it is not actually refreshing and updating on screen.
My delegate code is as follows (I grabbed this code off of another forum where people had the same issue - it seemed to work for them, but not for me):
Private Delegate Sub UpdatePMLabelTextDelegate(ByVal s As String)
Private Sub UpdatePMLabelText(ByVal s As String)
' Are we in the same thread as the label itself?

View 1 RepliesI have a VB.net form which has two webpages embedded. The webpages have a 5 second auto refresh built into the HTML header as the information is constantly changing.
The problem I have is when I pull up a secondary form, I lose focus to the 'Main' form everytime the webpage refreshes.
Is there any way to stop the webpages autorefreshing in the form and I will build in a refresh command into a timer I already have in place and then I can start and stop the refresh at will.
Unfortunatly I cannot amend the source code of the HTML as this is required for a different process elsewhere.

Was updating a project and all of a sudden the auto-filling of a WebBrowserControl's Dropdownbox stopped working. Here is the HTML of the Input box:
[Code]....
I think it is the "onkeyup" thing that isn't getting fired properly so the dropdown list isn't updating itself... it was working fine before, and now, with no changes, it just stopped working. can someone take a look at my code and see if they spot anything? EDIT: attached an image of the dropdown box in question. as I type, it does the lookup. (using the onkeyup event). I am setting the value of the dropdown to the five digit code at run-time, trying to trigger the onkeyup event to get it to get the full line, but it won't work.

I then found out that there was a setting I needed to change and then flash started to work again for me.I just sent the program to my friend and flash isn't working for him in his webbrowser. What do I do?and the setting i changed was

Basically, what I'm doing is navigating to a website with a backgroundworker.In the WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted event, I put code to fill in a form and I set the value of a boolean called "formFinished" to true once the form has been finished and submitted. The problem I'm having is that it only posts data to the second website, no matter the order of the websites. I'm wondering how this is possible since I have a boolean in state which only gets set to true once the first form has been submitted. So I have no clue as to why it only submits the second one, but not the first one.

I have a pretty good understanding of VB.NET. Basically I'm trying to fill in the password to login to a school website, but for some reason it won't fill the value in. The closest that I've come is getting the password to appear on screen, but it's not masked with asterisks and when I click login it says invalid password. It's almost as if it edits the label right before the text box for the password.
Here's a section of the html code from the login page:
HTML
<FORM ACTION="/pls/PROD/twbkwbis.P_ValLogin" METHOD="POST" NAME="loginform" AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF">
<TABLE CLASS="dataentrytable" SUMMARY="This data entry table is used to format the user login fields">
<TR>
<TD CLASS="delabel" scope="row" ><LABEL for=UserID><SPAN class=fieldlabeltext>UID:</SPAN></LABEL></TD>

The textbox that has the NAME="PIN" is the value I wish to change. Here is some of the code that I have tried where webMain is a WebBrowser VB.NET control. This doesn't work, but does display the unmasked password:

passwordTextBox.InnerText = txtWingsPIN.Text
