Re: [2005] Webbrowser

i might be able to help. i'm a beginner, but building a web browser was my very first project. the only thing that i've forgotten is how to get the progress bar to work properly, but if you want to build your own, i can help you.

I'm not sure about encryption, but let me get the rest right...

You want to know how to build a browser that connects to the net when you type in the address? I can help you out on that if that's what you're asking.

Re: [2005] Webbrowser

It sounds to me like you want to build your very own webbrowser, without using the webbrowser control, am i correct?

If you want to build a remote control kind of program, I can help you out... lol... I did it by accident... if you want to use the web browser control, I know how to do that... what exactly do you want it to do?

Re: [2005] Webbrowser
Basically you need the following controls, just rename them to whatever your controls are named...

Web Browser
Text Box

Navigate Button
VB Code:
```
WebBrowser1.Navigate("" & ToolStripTextBox1.Text)
```
Back Button
VB Code:
```
WebBrowser1.GoBack()
```
Forward Button
VB Code:
```
webbrowser1.goforward()
```
Home
VB Code:
```
webbrowser1.gohome()
```
Stop
VB Code:
```
webbrowser1.stop()
```
If you want to put in a progress bar, you'll have to ask someone else, I forgot... This is just a basic browser with basic functions... Hope this helps...

Re: [2005] Webbrowser

A Web browser communicates with a Web server via HTTP and it interprets the HTML code it receives and renders it as a Web page. The communication part is easy using the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes. Rendering HTML code is not a trivial thing, then there's Java, JavaScript, VBScript, etc. What you ask is impractical except for the simplest of pages. Even rendering hyperlinks in a page would not be easy. How long do you think it took the open source community to create Firefox, and they were starting with an existing engine.
