View 10 Replieshow to change the useragent on webbrowser control?
View 10 RepliesJust wondering what browser type the VB.NET reads as when it visits a webpage. For instance on my website it shows a break down of all the different browsers that accessed my site.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to change the UserAgent of the WebBrowser control in a Winforms application.
I have successfully achieved this by using the following code:
[DllImport("urlmon.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
private static extern int UrlMkSetSessionOption(
int dwOption, string pBuffer, int dwBufferLength, int dwReserved);
[Code]....
The only problem is that this only works once. When I try to run the ChangeUserAgent() method for the second time it doesn't work. I stays set to the first changed value. This is quite annoying and I've tried everything but it just won't change more than once.
Ok.. I got the useragent to change:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[code].....
How can I change value of this?
HTML
<textarea rows="5" cols="90" class="message">
Sometimes when I click on a link, it opens in a new window. Can I prevent this from happening and just load the page in my current window?
View 2 RepliesI have a form with a webbrowser control. How can I change the language settings of the webbrowser control such that it loads the webpage in the set language (for example, French) rather than the default language set on the computer (English).
Ex: If I go to google it should load the French version of google webpage. I am familiar with localization and globalization in .NET, but I think the language setting for the webbrowser itself might be different from that.
At the moment I have this to change focus of an element:
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
Instead of using that I was wondering if I could do something like this:
WebBrowser1.Document.All("id").InvokeMember("click")
But to get focus to the next element in line, like the next one from the current focused item.

View 1 RepliesI have this app, and I want to make it so that people can access a site to send a message via a PHP script. I want to do this by loading the web content in a new form, which automatically closes when it recognizes a change in the URL of the WebBrowser. How can I go about doing this? Nothing I have tried has worked right.
View 6 Replies1) How can I make the text in RTB control to change without clicking on it (RTB control) again? I notice that the event handler is mousedown so its only occurs whenever the users clicks on the controls. But I really have no idea how to do that. Anyone can guide me how to do that???
2) How to make the RTB's Back Color to transparent??? Cause it is not supported. Or is it I use the wrong control???

I'm attempting to load a website, look through the HTML, and then put it into a control.When I do this, the site redirects to another page. I know how to pull the info, so I need to figure out how to get to my destination page. I'll break it down in steps:
1. Attempt to load www.site.com/1
2. If cookie is not on machine, site redirects to www.site.com/zip code.
2b. Enter Zip code
3. Attempt to load destination site again.
4. Page redirects to www.site.com/default.aspx
5. Attempt to load www.site.com/1
6. Success
If the cookie is already on the machine, it skips to step 3. No matter what, it always loads the default.aspx page first. This isn't a webbrowser control issue, it's a site issue. This happens when on a normal browser.I'd hate to say it's bad coding standards just because it's not working because I want it to, but it sure seems like bad coding standards.
Function GetHtml(ByVal URLString As String, ByVal web As WebBrowser) As String

web.Navigate(URLString)
NewString = web.Document.Body.InnerHtml

RichTextBox1.Text = GetHtml("http://www.yahoo.com.hk", WebBrowser1)
I've looked everywhere, but I havn't found anything on how to paint on a webbrowser control. I tried to do it with a transparant panel over it, but that didn't work.
View 6 RepliesI know this sounds like a simple thing but I have searched and all examples have not helped. I have been unable to update the textarea at I have gotten the code to work at other sites though.So specifically I want to update the "post a new thread" textarea. If you go toand then signup (you need an account to post a new thread). Then go to any forum and click "NewThread".I then can update the subject field but the textarea (name="message") does not update with the value. I am not sure why it doesn't work when I have got this working on a lot of other sites.

View 2 RepliesI looked all over the forum posts here and didn't see the answer to a question concerning iframes within the webbrowser control (there were similar issues however). The forum has a classifieds section that allows members to post threads daily. I have a message that I like to send once every day to a forum and decided that it would be best to achieve this programmatically. However, I noticed in the visual basic 2008 webbrowser control, that it doesn't seem to automate the iFrames within the browser using the htmlelementcollection codes.

View 1 RepliesI have created a VB.NET project that includes WebBrowser control. The web browser control navigates to html page that embedes a flash movie. Everything works fine except that when I want to exit the fullscreen mode of the video by pressing (Esc) key, it doesn't exit. If I view the html page with any other browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, ...) it works perfectly. You can download the project from the link below. The files are in the Debug folder.

Is there any way to detect when a link is clicked in the webbrowser control? It's loading the same page back again.

I'm having an issue trying to pull information from a specific website. I've asked about this once before, but had no luck through searches or responses.In a nut shell, the issue I'm having is trying to pull information from several URLs from a site.When I load the first URL and pull the information, it works just fine. But if I want to pull another from that same site, it acts like it is loading, but doesn't pull the information. In order for me to gather that information, I have to restart the program, but that beats the purpose.So, I wanted to see if the issue was related to cookies or something else the webbrowser control creates when loading a site. If this is the case, I'd like to clear out this information, or at least try it, after each time it pulls the information from the site.
View 6 Repliesi am using webbrowser control as reporting tool ( instead of exporting the data to excel or other COM interface )i have built some HTML table structure and rows headings etc.
View 3 RepliesI am loading a word document into the web browser control using code like this:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("C:DocsTest DocumentsTest.doc") When I do this, everything works fine and the user can use all of the toolbars.
However, if after I do that, I then open word outside of my app, all of the toolbars in the word document in my app become disabled.
I have done some searching and found other people have had this issue and this MS article mentions similar symptoms, but offers no solution.
