ive downloaded this example of a web browser from http://www.vbwm.com/articles/builder...p?ArticleID=31
but when i try to open it i get alot of warnings then vb crashes and i have to restart it....why? i have a feeling i may have to add certain components.
i know this question is a bit vague but i'm a vb newbie
1. Does it allow you to load it into VB, and when you try and run it, the IDE crashes, or does it not allow you to even load it?
2. What, specifically, are the warning messages?
when i try to open the .vbp file i get this....
[IMG]u:\vbp error.jpg[/IMG]
and when i try to open the .frm file i get...
[IMG]u:/frm error.jpg[/IMG]
hmmm how do you attach images?
:confused: What do the log files say?Quote:

Attach the log please.
sorry, have done now
It looks like you need to add, as a component, the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0
This will give you the ImageList, Progressbar, Statusbar and Toolbar controls.
It crashes everytime i add a component.
How many forms and modules are there in the project?
Did you open the .vbp file, or did you directly open the .frm file?
If you open a .frm file, no references have been set, so every control that isn't a standard vb control will fail to load.
If you open the .vbp file, and still get these errors, the controls are probably not registered on your machine.
In your case you need to add a the windows common controls 6.0 and the webbrowser control to your components.
Make sure you don't save the form, because vb will change unknown components into pictureboxes. If you save the form while they are pictureboxes, it will be difficult to correct it.
Remove the form from the project, make sure you have the components added to your toolbox, and then add the form to the project again.
Start a new project and try to add the "Microsoft Windows Common Components 6.0". If your VB crashes, the problem is not the project itself but VB. In that case, you might need to re-install it.
