Getting the Favicon, internet controls

[vbman213]

I am working on a browser, and I would like to display the favicon for the current site next to the address text box...

is there a function in the internet controls that will do this for me?

or will I have to parse the favicon, download it, and display it?

Well, since the favicon is normally saved like this: www.thesite.com/favicon.ico

You could just download the image and have it displayed in a picture box, directly to the side of the web browser, using only a few lines of code.

how are you making the browser?
really from base off, or are you using the web browser object?

if you could get the ip address for each page, it would be as easy as sending a http request.

example would be nice

I think k0zz means that you look for and determine if the http://www.site.com/favicon.ico file exists, and if it does, downloads it onto the user's computer and shows a basic picturebox or something to that effect that shows the favicon.

If the favicon.ico file does not exist, then it just shows the browser icon

Yeah, thats what I was getting at.
