VS 2010 - Webkit.NET (or Any Webkit-based Browser) To Work - Use The Default .NET WebBrowser Control
Feb 29, 2012
I'd like to integrate Webkit.NET into a VB project, but I'm not having any luck so far. The Webkit.NET tutorial page gives a demonstration in C#, so I assume that it's possible to use this in VB.NET as well? [URL]
I added the control to the project successfully, but since I'm not familiar with C#, I haven't been able to convert the code successfully (even after running the code through a few different online C# to VB.NET converters). So... has anyone gotten Webkit.NET (or any Webkit-based browser) to work in VB.NET? Or am I just dreaming? I would love to be able to use the default .NET WebBrowser control for this project, but this project requires doing a few things that the IE browser is not capable of (but Webkit can do it easily).

I'm having trouble making an instance of the WebKit browser use a different IP. Is there a simple method that I'm missing?

I've embedded the WebKit browser in my program to use as a replacement for Internet Explorer. Well, it seems a few methods did not carry over. These are the methods I'm speaking of:
WebBrowser.Document.element.InvokeMember("click")This is not supported in the webkit engine. Is there another way I could invoke a click on an element? It has a .Focus method, maybe I could use that?
WebBrowser.Document.element.InnerText = xxx Setting a text box's text is also no longer supported. It would be nice if there was some way to set a text box's text with the web kit browser.WebBrowser.Document.element.setAttribute("theAttribute", "theValue")Same deal here. This code does not work with the web kit browser.

I'm trying to create a windows service that loads a website, navigates it, and pulls some information using javascript. This is all very easy to do in a windows forms application, but isn't working in a webservice (apparently because services can't access the registry WinInet Not Supported for Use in Services). Any ideas how to get it to work? Here's my code that outputs nothing:
[Code]...
EDIT: I need a WebBrowser or WebKit.Net object because I need to execute javascript on the page, and I need to maintain a login (using cookies and post data). If there's another method to do this please let me know.

I'm working on a project just for fun that is a fixed browser that load one site. However, the site doesn't work in Internet Explorer so I'm using the webkit core. I've added the webkit browsing area that's named "ACB" and set the URL. I then added the only button neeed, a button to use as refresh, and set the code for that button to "ACB.Refresh()", however if I click that after running it nothing happens. If I set the page it loads to Google it loads but you can't hit search.

i've been trying to make a simple web browser, but i've been trying to have it run on WebKit because IE sucks. The first form is where the user enters in a product key, and after they enter in the correct key, it's supposed to open up the next form containing the actual web browser, except this is where i'm getting errors.

I am new to VB. I got interested in VB because it supposed to be easy to work with without learning a lot of complicated code. I want to design a web browser in VB 2008 or VB 2010 and instead of it just being a shell for Internet Exploerer, I want to use Webkit as its engine.
Is this possible? Otherwise, if I made a browser with VB what would it use.. IE's engine?.. and it would not really be a web browser but Only a shell for IE.. isn't this correct?I want a standalone app that I can distribute.
Also, whats the difference between the free VB express and the paid for Full versions of VB?

A simple WebKitBrowser1.Navigate(localfilehere) doesn't work for some reason.
I tried adding "file://" to the URL but that didn't work either.
This seems ridiculous but is this functionality really not present?

Any solutions? It worked quite similar with the usual Webbrowser, hence I hoped one of you might be able to edit the code or even create a new one!

I'm trying to use the WebKit-component ([URL]) in VB with the help of Visual Studio 2008. This is running without problems, except for two following two issues:
1. Hints/Tooltips are not shown (e.g. as there usually will appear one if you stay with the mouse over the Google-logo)
2. If there's a popup-window, I don't know how to get the new desired URL.

I've done a webbrowser and I want to make it mi default webbrowser and .html viewer. I've found a registry modification, but, when I try to implement a registry modification code, my webbrowser requires to be ran in admin mode. Can I implement a code that doesn't requires admin (like firefox - when you want to make it default browser, it doesn't requires to be ran in admin)?

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 writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Ive tried to edit option on the webbrowser control, example javascript enable/disable. but found out that it uses IE's option and cannot be changed.So my question is: Is there a way to do a "webbrowser" without using the WEbbrowser control that is based on internetexplorer? If it is, can i change option example flash and so on?

I'm using a webbrowser control to pull some information from a website. It works fine.I load the web page when the user clicks a button and then I pull the information from the site when the page completely loads. I have this bit of code in the DocumentComplete event.I am doing this for two different websites. So, my code as it is, looks something likes this:
vb.net
Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.website.com")
End If[code].....
If I add a second Navigate to the same WebBrowser control, and then add another Document. GetElementById line, using different variables, it doesn't work.Its obvious that it loads both sites and then it finishes. So, it never has time to finish the first load and then pull the info into the text box.Is there a way to do this? To load the first site, pull the info, load the second site, then pull the info from there?

The problem is on line 34. It happens if yout ry to do anything with the control, not just navigating. Also, the User Control does load in IE fine, however, the Web Browser control is never there no matter what I do.[code]

I would like for my program to navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines and multiple url links inside of it. I know how to make the webbrowser1.navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines, however I want my webbrowser to navigate to each url every 1-1.5 seconds once button1 is clicked. Yes, my webbrowser1 will navigate to the specified urls via the textbox1.text (multilines) with a button click, but I need the webbrowser1 to navigate in a order sequence from top to bottom of Textbox1.text (multiplelines) every 1 second. Here is the current code that I have to navigate via multilined textbox1.text control in order sequence:

I have a windows form that have 5 webbrowser control. I also have serveral links of URLs and each webbrowser will open them. My problem is that after all links already opened, when I close my windows forms, sometimes my application suddenly open my default browser automatically and open url that on my URL list. I already tried to make all webbrowser to navigate to "about:blank"to make sure there are not loading any webpage before I close my application but the problem is still occur. This has given me a headache since this problem is not always occur when I close my application.

I have a program which uses web browser control to automize some testing. it works fine on local machine. however, when I deploy it on windows server 2003, for some reasons, the program can not click any buttons automatically in the IE browser control.
I checked, the IE on windows 2003, because of security, the internet is set in the highest security zone, all others, i.e. activex, scripting, ... are enabled.

I have a WebBrowser control in a VB.NET WinForms app. I am able to set the default printer from code and print without prompting the user. However, there is also a print button that shows the PrintDialog. If this action is done first the page will print.Then if I try to programmatically print later (again setting the default printer to some other printer) the it will print to the last printer selected in the PrintDialog box even though I am resetting the default and see the default printer being changed in Windows.It works fine unless ShowPrintDialog has a printer chosen first. Once that occurs it seems to always use that printer no matter what I do.
For Each strPrinter In PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
If strPrinter.Contains("My Printer") Then
wScript.SetDefaultPrinter(strPrinter)

I'm trying to handle browser popups using the NewWindow event of the WebBrowser control. The one main thing I needed is the cookie from the main browser control on my form to be passed to the popup window. Below is the only way I've been able to open the popup and pass the Document.Window.Opener value to it so that when java script is executed, it knows where the opener window is. I am getting the following error right now when trying to set the cookie from my webbrowser control to the iexplore instance of the popup window that opened.
