maybe try to create another form, call the form and pass a parameter to a friend variable on the form such that it is the address that you want to open in the new window.

e.g.

Code:

---

Public Class Form2
    Friend strWebURL As String
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If strWebURL <> "" Then
            WebBrowser1.Navigate(strWebURL)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

---

and your calling form something like this:

Code:

---

Public Class Form1
      Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frm As New Form2
        frm.strWebURL = "asdf"
        frm.Show()
    End Sub
End Class

I don't have many examples up on my new site, but this is actually one of them.

kleinma, your link does not work...
Server error...

I am looking for the answer to this, but the ones I find don't work.

Yes I know, my site is currently offline for a restructure. I plan on having it back up in a few days.

I have the code at work though, so I can post it here tomorrow.

I found my answer was to add the Microsoft Web Browser component so I had access to NewWindow2 event (ieframe.dll), instead of using the one that came with .NET

yes you can do that, however it does require a few extra hoops to jump through.

You need to distribute a few extra files (the Ax interop ones that get generated). You also need to run those files through a command line utility to strong name them if you plan on strong name signing your app.
