Putting text into a WebBrowser

[Keithuk]

I'm working on an app that uses a database. I've been using a RichTextBox to show the data from a ListView_Click and when you click on the url it shows the page in the WebBrowser, that works perfectly. What I need is to display all this data in a WebBrowser. The format is HTML I would think. Would it be possible to click on the url and goto that site?

e.g.

<b>Name:</b>John Davis<br>
<b>URL:</b>www.hisurl.com

etc

The only suitable property in the WebBrowser is Navigate. I've tried posting the text into a temp.url and loading it from there but that doesn't work. I've tried WebBrowser.Print Text1.Text but that doesn't work either. As normal with additional controls there's no help.

Do anyone have any idea how you show text on a WebBrowser?

Heres a link to some of my code examples on automating and parsing data from a web page.

Thanks RobDog. I did a search before posting and nothing came up that was relavant. There are plenty of topics how to receive data from a WebBrowser, link your link but none I could find about putting text into a WebBrowser.

Is this webbrowser the webbrowser control or just the regular IE or FF?

[Keithuk]

Sorry its Microsoft Internet Control, Shdocvw.dll.

So it is a web browser on your form. The link I posted is exactly what you need then. You can enter, submit, read webpages with it.

Sorry RobDog there's nothing on that link that will suggest adding text to a WebBrowser. It only shows you how to link a url to a WebBrowser, which I already know.

All I want to do is show this in a WebBrowser, but how.

<b>Name:</b>John Davis<br>
<b>URL:</b>www.hisurl.com

So its not going to be from the web but just text you want to display?

[Static]

IE.Navigate "about:blank"

in the doc complete event...

IE.Document.Write "<b>Name:</b>John Davis<br><b>URL:</b>www.hisurl.com"

Correct.

IE.Navigate "about:blank"

in the doc complete event...

IE.Document.Write "<b>Name:</b>John Davis<br><b>URL:</b>www.hisurl.com"

So I will need a Reference to Internet Explorer with this code '[A51g]Static'
