Build Own Unique Web Browser Without The Support Of Internet Explorer?
May 12, 2009
I made a web browser in VB 2008. Does creating a web browser in VB 2008 require Internet Explorer to be installed? If so, than how can i make it so that I build my own unique web browser without it needing the support of Internet Explorer.
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.
There are certain sites that require login to access certain parts of the site, now the user logs in through Internet Explorer, and now I want thet a web browser will have access too - like that Internet Explorer got. In short: login with IE, and Web browser will got also access to site like Internet Explorer.So if there is a way to do it, i will happy to know.
For security purposes, I need to write a program that tracks the browser history of Internet Explorer on my machine. The way it would work is this: it starts up when the computer does (I'm pretty sure I can do that without a problem), then runs in the background as long as the computer is on. When the user types a URL or clicks a link, the program reads the URL and writes it to a text file. It does not check the browser history, as my situation makes checking the browser history useless. It records the URL as soon as the web page is reached.
I have a page open on Internet Explorer, the site uses the Server.Redirect method which basically keeps the page reading "sitename.com/default.aspx" even when you move to different pages.. so with that said I really can't load it within a web browser on my form application.
I need to auto fill out the fields on an external Internet Explorer, not really in need of actually processing the page.
I've just finished making a web browser suited for my personal use, but when I click on a new link or something it opens a new window in Internet Explorer - which gets extremely anoying.. Is there a way to make all links open up in a custom browser?
I have this application that users can make exams that contain exercises of different ... whatever. Anyway when student takes the exam he chooses it from a list and then all exercises are loaded from database. I wanted to make loading process faster by loading only first exercise data and putting others in background thread.
Actually in other parts of this application something like that is done but not by me. Basicaly an api class is built around BackgroudWorker and i can use this class to put certain functions of objects to be executed in background. The idea sounds great but in real life there are some problems with it. For example for historical reasons this application uses global functions and reader and uses global connection to Access database which means if in background something is being fectched from data base and you try to fetch from database in main thread then a „reader is already open" error occurs. To avoid this error if im doing something in main thread and want to fetch some data i have to move my function from main thread into background worker function list. And basically this in my opinion stinks cuz you end up with many delegātes, invoked checking and thre result... I was just thinking that there maybe is another way to allow (maybe with events) not put everything in background in case something is happening in bakcground but rather allow bgworker to finsih current thing, then do my thing and then resume bgWorker and not create havoc in code.
Basically i have to classes - exam and exercise that each implement many interfaces (like IExercise, IExerciseResult, IExerciseYesNo, IExerciseMultipleChoise etc.)And then i have DataBase classes like ExerciseDB, ExerciseResult etc. That have functions that preparē the sql params and call sqlHelper functions.And for example when i load up exam i go throug all exercises and call LoadData function that in turn calls ExerciseDB function selectData and then i put the returned data in Exercise object. And this type of thing of course would producē error if i at the same time would try to register the answer in database for another exercise. Ofcourse i could always check and put this in background... but as i said i'd rather want to work with database from both threads.
All schdoc.internetexplorer object becomes system.windows.form.webbrowser..That's actually webbrowser control rather than internet explorer object. Also if webbrowser1 is the object, I cannot hide the object remove toolbar, status bar, and many other things.

I've been working on my game for a while, in a non-online multi-player state it is complete. My goal is to add LAN or Internet Play support.My game is coded in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express, It relies heavily on timers.Currently you play against the AI, and there is a Local multiplayer mode, using mice, controllers or the keyboard.At the moment, it is a two player, (Or 1 player against the AI) game, from my understanding the standard Client-to-Server option wouldn't very efficent, the best choice would be a peer-to-peer system.That being said, a lot of the stuff could be done client side, like for instance, the particle engine and Dynamic Rendering.[code]
I'm working on a website in which a user enters a name and then presses a button that prompts the server to create a pdf file according to the information provided, and then sends the file to the user.
I'm testing the website on my laptop without IIS.I needed the pdf to be hebrew and couldn't find a pdfwrite with vb on hebrew; instead, I create a MS Word document and then convert it to pdf using the code below.
This works fine on Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, but on Internet Explorer the page disconnects before the download. It disconnects when the create word statement is executed.
I have some code that is supposed to automate a textbox on a webpage. The problem is, it only works half of the time. The text either displays or does not display. I added the internet controls as a reference but the HTML object library would not get added. Everytime i would go to do this, it would freeze.I also tried doing it two ways. The way that is commented out, always produced a null error. If i change the website to google.com, it works perfect everytime.[code]
Before I start, you'll probably tell me to search the forum to get the answer.But really I am searching net + this forum from last 5 days to get solution for this problem but unable to find..So here I start, probably not a new problem.
I'm struggling with my web browser. It all work and I'm trying to crack the tabs which Internet Explorer 8 has. This code makes a new tab by copying it from a hidden tab: TabControl1.TabPages.Add(TabPageTest)
I am facing trouble in my application. What I need is when I press search button a URL should be passed to IE. Irrespective of how many times I press Search. Every time it should open in same windows instead of opening in a new internet explorer. I have used shdocvw.dll for the same. Here is my code: I have decleared following as global decleration:
Im basically stuck for ideas but I would like to create a program that prints i.e. I have a folder with x amount of .htm files e.g. reports that I would like to batch print. Instead of have to open each one and print in Internet Explorer I'd like to automate this process.
I am working on a project where I have to automate Internet Explorer to perform certain tasks. In this context, I have a small snippet of code which creates Internet Explorer Object and navigate to Microsoft website. When I run the code from VS 2008, It works fine and IE is visible. but when I publish the code and run from IIS, it works again but IE is in invisible mode.My Question is how to make the Internet Explorer visible?I also added the impersonation to web.config but the problem still exists.
Code is as under:
Imports SHDocVw Partial Public Class _Default Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
I am trying to programmatically post to a textbox on a web form in IE - I have tried sendkeys - but I dont find them reliable or consistent - The code below is perfect - but only seems to work in a webbrowser control. How do I (click a button/select a radiobutton) send 'hello world' to a textbox on a webform in IE? By the way I would be happy to use the webbrowser control (so the code below would work) - but the webpage (which is not the one in the code below) runs locally on my machine (I dont have any control over it) and does not seem to work within a webbrowser control
