Shell ie in form?

[|2eM!x]

How can i open iexplorer inside the form?
like, instead of it happening in its own window, i want it to happen inside my program. another question, will i be able to view pictures will this, and will iexplorer.exe be in my taskmanager?

im doing this to help out a website by clicking its ads, then killing the site, unfortunately, it opens a new window which wont let me click on it...

Can't you use a web browser control? There will be an intance of IE in the task manager if you call it. I'm not sure if you can run it inside of a window on your form.

hmm, then i wonder how ill do this. it cant show up in taskbar, thats my trouble

[dglienna]

you don't want your program to show up in the taskbar, or IE?

[|2eM!x]

correct, i dont want it to show up in taskbar within my program..
i doubt this will work...

but any ideas on how to click on the add with the mouseclick api, close the popup windows and click again?..upon thinking..couldnt i kill the window by its name?

If you used Fx, then you coud let AdBlock tell you the name of all of the images and ads on a page.

ooh, i have mozilla, is that enough?

[dglienna]

go to their download page and see if you can get AdBlock. I don't know, but I think it is compatible. I downloaded about 20 add-ins when I got it last week. It works well.

According to this, you need Fx v1.0. I recommend it. It is pretty neat.

thx, i got another question, (they told me to not do this project because it could potentially ruin the host), so i tried this code

Private sub form_load()
x=0
call zero
end sub
 
private sub zero()
while x=0
text1.text = text1.text + 1
wend
end sub

and i think it works, but it like does it constantly, so it doesnt load the form and eventually i have to kill vb6, any better ways without a timer?

[dglienna]

What are you trying to do? You shouldn't add to a text field. it will be slow. you would be better off using a variable that is numeric. If you want to end the code, just check to see if text1 = 4000 or something like that. if it is, then set x to 1, and the loop will stop.

option explicit
dim x as integer
dim z as long
 
Private sub form_load()
  x=0
  z=0
  do while x=0
    call zero
  loop
end sub
 
private sub zero()
  z=z+1
  if z=4000 then x=1
  text1.text = z
end sub

well i want text1.text to add to itself every second (easy with a timer) but im just trying new things, ill try that code later, thx

[dglienna]

use a timer, and enable it and disable it programmatically
set the interval to one second, and count the seconds.

lol i know how to do it with a timer..im a master of textboxes

just wondering new ways
