View 2 RepliesI 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.
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?
View 19 RepliesI am creating my own browser. I want to make an option...to set as the browser to default.To do that I have to:Write a code which opens html(generally internet) file through my browser(form load event) DoneChange the "open with..." of the .html,.xml.... files Problem I want to change the open with event from my web browser. Actually i want an options form which will ask the user "Do you want to set /Browser name/ to be your default browser?" If yes then it will change the default options of the internet files.
View 5 RepliesI have created my own internet browser which is almost finished, I just need one more thing to make it complete.
I need my internet browser to be able to be set as the default browser. I have 2 applications 1 being the browser lets call it browserapp1.exe and I have another app which we will call setasdefaultapp1.exe, setasdefaultapp1.exe will be an application basic form with 2 buttons one to exit and one to make browserapp1.exe the default internet browser.
I understand that to do this I need to edit the registry
When the button on setasdefaultapp1.exe is pressed I want browserapp1.exe to become the default browser in the start menu, become the default for html, htm, php etc.. and also when a link is pressed in an email it needs to load my browser.
Im using VB2005 express and the app im creating uses the web browser control.Basically I want to know if its possible to make the web browser control connect through a different ip address and port from your default web browser.
View 7 RepliesI coded a web browser over the course of a year called Nova - very advanced with tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, etc etc etc etc. I could go on all day about how advanced it is. But.. there is one flaw. You cannot make it the default browser; I don't know the code!I already know the CommandLineArgs stuff so it actually opens the HTML file rather than just opening the program; in fact, I already can make files open with Nova completely. It's just the other stuff - you know, when a website is to be opened from a help file or something, it opens with Nova, Windows recognises it as the default browser, stuff like that.
View 3 RepliesOther topics around the Internet are all unfinished topics, so I'll ask this myself. How do I set a self-made browser as the default browser? I know it has something to do with accessing the registry and checking what the value is in some places, but I'm not quite sure. Now, I've made this browser called Nova;
very well coded and advanced, tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, can change default search provider, uses Gecko as its engine so it's not just an IE shell, etc. It's been developed over the past year and will still continue to be developed. I'm almost ready to release the first version - but I just need this annoyance solved.

View 14 RepliesWebBrowser1.Navigate("www.google.com"), it doesn't load. It opens the same webpage you get when you try to navigate to a page and you're not connected to the internet. Also, I opened a webpage that was saved on my computer, and that webpage had a link to a website on the internet, and when I clicked on it, it worked just fine! It's not my internet, what is it then? Here's the snippet of my code:

I need to make a web browser that uses my home internet connection from anywhere.I plan to have the web browser connect to my router/computer where it will request the desired web pages and have the page data sent back to the browser client. The browser must only have a connection with my IP, and not request the web pages from their web URL.How can i do this and what will i need to set up on my home computer?

Also, if I wanted to have a website for helps or hints, where could I put it? Like, a site for others to read info on my game which I could make, say.
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.
View 1 RepliesI'm in the process of making a Web Browser, and after having mastered most major functions, I would like to create custom error pages. Like the "This page cannot be displayed" IE Page, but with my own logos and text.
How would I go about redirecting this? The current one is at System.Windows.Forms.HtmlDocument
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.
View 3 RepliesIs there any way to create a web browser that hides your IP address and pretty much lets you surf the internet anonymously?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
So I'm getting annoyed with this ffriend of min that keeps on asking for code off me for a VB assignemnt. Now I'd like to give him some code, but not the right code, (play a joke on him...he...he..). So thats the reason I'd like to write a infinite loop program for Internet Explorer. Would such Visual Basic program be possible?
I'm not going to write anything epic, but probably just the event handler to a button that keeps uploading internet explorer on a infinite loop after clicking. I know morally, this is wrong. I would rather be an ass than a lazy bastard.

View 2 RepliesI am using the function below to open the user's default web browser.
Public Function ShowHelp(ByVal url As String) As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim startInfo As New Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
startInfo.FileName = url
[Code]....
A couple of times the function returned the error (on users machine) "the system cannot find the file specified"
I guess the user has not set a default web browser. Why i get this error? How could i add a default web browser check before calling this function?
How can I determine the default web browser, and then launch it with a specified URL?I was using this code, but since IE is less and less relevant, I thought I'd try to use whatever the computer user prefers. In this example I provided a SQL help site as the web site to load.
Code:
Shell("C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe " & "http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
I'm trying to get the computer default browser and once i get the browser executable i want to retrive its icon, how do i do that ?
