URL box [SOLVED]

[boku]

Ok, i have added a webbrowser to my small app and a textbox, is there a way to code it so that if the webpage changes so does the text in the textbox to show the website address?

In the click event that loads new pages:

Private Sub cmdGo_Click()
WebNavigate txtURL.Text
mytextbox.text = textURL.text
End Sub

ok say that the home page is google and i do a seach on there...and click a link, i want the textbox to show me the address of that website. so it changes from google.com to whateva.com

I think it would go in the download complete action, but I don't have that in my web sample app. never even noticed that the url doesn't change.

lol, i didnt until i studied it...maybe you can help me on something else then...i have all my history in a combo box, but is there anyway to stop the same address appearing in it twice, and is there anyway to sort it in reverse, so that the first url u visit goes to the bottom of the list?

You can specify an index for a combobox. Clear it each time, as I think you would have to write the list backwards each time you wanted to add an item. the first time, you woud leave 0 blank, and write the first item to 1. then you would leave 0 blank, and first one to item 1 and the second to item 2. Use the index.

object.additem item, index

Each time you are adding a item, if it already exists, don't add it at the old place, but add it to the bottom of the list.

also, i think you could use the document complete action to write the new url in your textbox.
