ive downloaded this example of a web browser from http://www.vbwm.com/articles/builder...p?ArticleID=31
but when i try to open it i get alot of warnings then vb crashes and i have to restart it....why? i have a feeling i may have to add certain components.
i know this question is a bit vague but i'm a vb newbie
Did you open the .vbp file, or did you directly open the .frm file?
If you open a .frm file, no references have been set, so every control that isn't a standard vb control will fail to load.
If you open the .vbp file, and still get these errors, the controls are probably not registered on your machine.
In your case you need to add a the windows common controls 6.0 and the webbrowser control to your components.
Make sure you don't save the form, because vb will change unknown components into pictureboxes. If you save the form while they are pictureboxes, it will be difficult to correct it.
Remove the form from the project, make sure you have the components added to your toolbox, and then add the form to the project again.
Start a new project and try to add the "Microsoft Windows Common Components 6.0". If your VB crashes, the problem is not the project itself but VB. In that case, you might need to re-install it.
