VB Question

[Warbirds]

Please help, I just got VB a few days ago. However, I've gone through the in-built tutorial, and I've created my custom web-browser. I have been able to add in buttons that work and perform right, such as working forward and back buttons, refresh and stop loading buttons also work.

However, what I cannot get done is get my status bar that I put in to actually show how far the page has loaded up. I can also not get my drop down menus to work, such as a file, edit, view, etc. Also, is it possible to set a homepage and add bookmarks, etc. to a VB made web browser?

Thanks,

~Warbirds

Welcome to the Forums.

Which VB language are you using? VB.NET or Classic VB (VB 6)?

[Warbirds]

I have VB.Net '05.

Moved to VB.Net forum

[Warbirds]

Well, SI. You could've at least helped with my problem instead of just saying you moved it...

[si_the_geek]

No I couldn't - I don't use VB.Net! The best I could do is let the relevant people see your question.

Welcome to the forums.
You should limit yourself to 1 question per thread, and use thread titles that describes the problem more.
Progress question:
The WebBrowser control has a ProgressChanged event you should check out.
In the ProgressChanged subroutine you can use e.CurrentProgress and e.MaximumProgress to get the information you want.

You need to be more specific about your menu problem. What isnt working?

And for your final question; yes it is possible. Using either a database, or by creating a class to contain all information you need and serializing it to an XML file when it needs to be saved, and deserializing the XML file when it needs to be loaded. Search http://www.msdn.com for serialization

As you can see, Si is a moderator (a super moderator even!) so thats his job.

Arg. Thanks for the help, Atheist, and sorry, SI.

I didn't make multiple threads because I don't want to spam. And about the menus, I click the button for a drop down menu, put it on the top left, and type in file, but I don't know how to add options under it, or even make them perform functions. Also, when I test it, the text vanishes from the parent box.

[Atheist]

Ah, its alright to make as many threads as you want, as long as they dont contain the same question
In designview, just click the menu to make it popup, then just click it to add new subitems. It should say "Type here".

[Warbirds]

Damn, the tips you gave me for making the progress bar won't work, or at least, I can't get the code in right. And I don't know how to actually make the drop down menu buttons do what they are supposed to.

[Atheist]

Well if you have a progressbar, just do this in the ProgressChanged subroutine:

ProgressBar1.Maximum = e.MaximumProgress
        ProgressBar1.Value = e.CurrentProgress

[Warbirds]

Thanks, I'll try it now.

[Warbirds]

Not to double post, but when I put that in, this is what happened:

[Atheist]

Yeah thats because you didnt put it in the WebBrowsers ProgressChanged subroutine

[Warbirds]

Atheist can you perhaps make a pic of what it should look like? I cannot get it to work.
