[RESOLVED] WebBrowser

Hello!

I'm making a WebBrowser for fun I'm stuck on somethings
Bold I don't need help with anymore

1. I want to be able to make the browser save history from visited websites and view them in a different form (view about 7 in a menu item)

2. How would I make the textbox in the toolstrip resize to the remaining space
on the form resize event also the form start's maximized so it would need to work with that

3. I got a problem with my bookmarks when I remove a bookmark I have to restart the form to be able to see any changes too it (this is in a menu)
I want to be able to remove a bookmark and make it automatic update so no need to restart the form
Current code

Code:

---

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosed
        My.Settings.Save()
    End Sub
    Private Sub RemoveBookMarkITM_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RemoveToolStripMenuItem.Click
        My.Settings.BrowserBookmarks.Remove(MainBrowser.Url.ToString)
        MainMenuStrip.Refresh()
    End Sub

---

4. Make a combobox show previous searches in items


5. How to clear Cache, Cookies, History, Active logins
6. How to open a new windows in my browser NOT internet explorer

If I haven't explained so you understand it please let me know and I will try give you more information

I think that:

Code:

---

ReplaceWithNameOfToolbar.Update

---

will refresh your toolbar.

In order to use a home page, you can save the home page URL in your settings... And when your Browser starts, check to see if there is a homepage saved. If there is, load that URL...

I get the string to show in the text box but how would I let a user save it

vb Code:

Private Sub OptionFRM_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        OptionHomePageText.Text = My.Settings.Homepage
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub OptionSaveBTN_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OptionSaveBTN.Click
        >>>>>OptionHomePageText.Text<<<<<
    End Sub

I'm stuck there (where the <<>> are)

Sorted this anyone help with other things?

if you look in the codebank board of the forums you will find an example of a multi tabbed browser, there is also an enhanced version which implements bookmarks. this would be a good base fro your needs regarding points 3 & 6

Thanks ;D

Regarding clear cache etc use one of the following or do as I did and create menu options for each of them.

Code:

---

'Temporary Internet Files
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8")
       
'Cookies()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2")

'History()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1")

'Form(Data)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16")

'Passwords()
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32")

'Delete(All)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255")

'Delete All – Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe", "InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351")

---

Hope this helps.

Colin

Sorted this! :)

Help on other stuff?

To keep track of the History, Just references this in the WebBrowser Document complete or Webbrowser Navigated Events:

Code:

---

WebBrowser1.Url.ToString

---

As for the Textbox/Toolstrip resizing, you need to use Anchors.
Click here for Anchors help

For the bookmarks, just type this after deleting a bookmark:

Code:

---

toolbarname.Update()

---

Whenever you do a search, just put this in:

Code:

---

ComboBoxName.Items.Add(ComboBoxName.Text)

---
