Create ActiveX at Runtime [Resolved]

Hi,

Is it possible to create an instance of the Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX Control and place it on a form at runtime?

Are there no .NET components for web browsing?

Thanks!

Justin.

No , there is no pure .NET Web Browser control . I think you can do it why not . :D

Any idea how you can do it? ;)

Isn't quite working out for me... tried adding a reference of the web browser dll and creating a new instance, but not sure how I go about placing this on a form...

Some one should create a pure .NET web browser component. That would be cool.

Right click on the toolbox , add and remove items , Com tab , scroll down to Microsoft Web Browser , OK . It's there . Drop it on your form , size it however you like .

Thanks pirate.. but I need to generate the control at Runtime, not using the IDE :)

bump!

After you add reference to Microsoft Web Browser , just paste this code to create an instance of it .

VB Code:

Public Sub CreateIt()
        Dim MyWBrowser As New AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser
        MyWBrowser.Enabled = True
        MyWBrowser.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(200, 200)
        MyWBrowser.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(300, 300)
        Me.Controls.Add(MyWBrowser)
    End Sub

Thats great, thanks mate!

I was trying to create an instance of SHDocVw instead of AxSHDocVw and so the control collection was having none of it.
