View 3 RepliesBasically I'm trying to make a file browser similar to what XBMC has, a file browser that you navigate with your arrow keys.This is the custom UserControl I made:
The small box on the left will be an icon, I will have a custom icon for directories/files. The label box that says title will be the name of the directory/file.
What I need to know is How to get the name of the directory/file so I can change the Title labelbox text to match the name.How to distinguish whether it's a file or a directory so I can set the picturebox to the right icon.How to create a new UserControl for each directory/file
I'm making an app that allows user to select some files. But, I want it to be made inside the app, without the need of a 'OpenFileDialog' or so.My first thought was a ListView control, but I really don't know how to use it or even how to make it get that from file system.Then I thought on a ListBox, but it seems to have so few features.There is a way to make an 'explorer-like' file browser inside the app? It doesn't need to contain all the explorer features, just an details view (the one that looks like a list, but with columns) and a icons view (similar to windows XP).

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 1 RepliesI'm making a small web browser to put in a program. Basically its a tab control and a button atm, when the buttons pressed it uses the code below to add a new tab and make the tab a web browser. [code] What I want is when I navigate to a web page for the tab name to be the title of the web page (instead of tabpage1, tabpage2 etc). I was told to put the below code in the web browser navigated sub but seeing as that sub isn't available because there isn't a browser in there until its running I have no where to put the code.

Basically I want to make a Web Browser in VB in which will load up websites, let me login, etc.... but I want to make it change what I see visually on my computer, not the site itself, but what I see when a site is loaded.
Like say I know a website that has spelling errors and code errors and stuff, then I can code for my browser to change those words automatically as the page is loaded, but also being able to login on the website and everything still.
I don't know if this is possible, and I know it's like kind of possible for IE itself with stuff like GreaseMonkey for IE, and the same for FireFox, so how to build an VB app which will do this either directly in IE or from within my own custom VB app?
