View 19 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 RepliesIntroduction[INDENT]Since this is my first thread in VB.NET forum(most of the time, I was in C/C++ forum), I want to share something that you might find it useful with your school project or with your works.Button is already a MUST-HAVE element in every program (I couldn't imagine program without a single button would function). Because it is everywhere, its appearance affects your form's appearance greatly. Some people might not care about how their software looks, but to me, it is a very important aspect for my software.
NOTE: I am pretty new to VB.NET myself. If there is any mistake, please correct me.

I am working on making a bookmarks and history interface for my web browser so basicall for the bookmarks the code is

Now im assuming that this is not all that is needed.. (this is put inside a sub) however i dont know how to set up the settings so that it will keep the bookmarks into my list after the program closes...
I am experimenting with CUSTOM CONTROLS for the very first time. What I did so far: I've created a new Windows Control Library project. In there I simply resized the custom control area (made it very wide and only 50 high). I added a pictureBox on the very left, a Label1 with Large text on the right and 2 other labels underneath Label1 on the left and right.Further I've set MOUSE HOVER effects, "Yellow" for MoudeEnter and "White" for MouseLeave.
In a Windows Form application I add this control over and over again into a Panel1 (DockStyle TOP) for each jpg file found in "My Pictures". The PictureBox in My custom control has the Thumbnail of the real picture, the Label1 shows the name of the file.
All this worked out better than I expected for my very first CUSTOM CONTROL, however, there is still 1 thing I would like it to do: being 'selected' when I click on one of the CUSTOM CONTROLS in my Panel1. Does anyone know how to do that? If I set a BackGroundColor change on MouseClick in my custom control, then it surely would change the color, however, it would stay that way even if I click on the next custom control in my Panel1 .(Listing SPEC's is not a review !

My code is allready around 15000 lines?

View 8 RepliesI'd like to make a custom control that allows the end user to format the text, similar to an HTML or RichText control. The idea is that it will be static like a label, but allow end user to specify certain tags around words to make them bold, italic, underline, hyperlink, etc, either at design time or runtime. My question more specifically is how to best approach this. My intention is to use GDI+ methods, like DrawString, etc. But my concern is the inefficiency of having to parse the text each Paint cycle to determine which tags are present in order to use the correct font style, etc. I'm not really asking HOW to do this, but more of a hint on which architectural approach to take on this. Maybe there is already some examples of this out there?
View 2 RepliesMy question is on how custom controls should be updated.
I downloaded this owner drawn custom control, which I built, then copied the DLL to the Debug folder of the project and loaded it into the toolbox from there.
I decided to use this button on another project. I was mildly surprised to see the control was still in the toolbox but it seemed to work just fine. I decided to change this custom button's behavior. The button in the toolbox referenced the old version number. So I deleted it and loaded the newly rebuilt DLL.
Now come the problems. The first application--the one where the DLL was added to the toolbox from--still runs okay, but the second application is throwing errors, saying, Type 'CButtonLib.CButton' is not defined. When I add the button to a form, it appears okay. I can change its properties and it shows up in the code windows and in the object browser. But as soon as I try to run it and it throws the errors, it no longer appears in the object browser. References in the code window lose their intellisense.
Things I've tried include:
Copying the DLL to the project's debug and release folders and loading them into the toolbox from there. Removing it from the toolbox altogether and just adding a reference then copying and pasting a button directly from the first project. Copying in a form with a CButton on it from the first project.
