[2008] Code Issue

[colsie]

Hi all. I am creating a web browser as we know. I have decided to go form a textbox for the URL input to a combobox but the code change was not as simple as it seemed. So here is my entire coding for the browser. It has the text box1 in it and I would like to know what codeing is needed for the combobox to work. Thanks.

Public Class Form1
    'Code for Go button
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)
)

    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

    End Sub


    'Code for back button
    Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoBack()
    End Sub
    'Command for stop button
    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        WebBrowser1.Stop()
    End Sub
    'Command for forward buttom
    Private Sub forward_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles forward.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoForward()
    End Sub
    'Code for home button
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoHome()
    End Sub
    'Code for browser screen
    Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted

    End Sub
    'Code for refresh button
    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        WebBrowser1.Refresh()

    End Sub

You want to know the code to make the combobox work? Work in what way?

[colsie]

It is to show the progress of a page loading up.

How is a ComboBox supposed to show page loading progress?

Sorry meant to say for the combobox to be the URL bit to type so a history can be stored. If I do that though I would need to know how to add a button to delete the history.

Use My.Settings.

Locate to View > Property Pages > Settings Tab

Change the name to "History" and change the type to System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection. (Opening the types drop-down menu might take a while to load).

This code just adds www.google.com. But I think you get the general idea.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    If My.Settings.History Is Nothing Then
        My.Settings.History = New Specialized.StringCollection
        My.Settings.History.Add("www.google.com" & "," & "Google Search Engine")
        My.Settings.Save()
    End If
    For Each History As String In My.Settings.History
        Dim strArray() As String = History.Split(",")
        ComboBox1.Items.Add(strArray(1))
    Next
End Sub

To remove the history, just make a button with a click event with the code:

ComboBox1.Items.Clear()

I hope it helps! =)
