[2008] Update textbox?

[hah3303]

I am making a simple browser, and when I try this code it will not build.

    Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Location()
    End Sub

[.paul.]

have you tried:

TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Location.tostring ???

[.paul.]

i'm assuming you want to show the physical location of the webbrowser control in the textbox?

1. Always provide as much relevant information as possible, you havent told us the error you're getting. However in this case its pretty simple to see what the problem is.
2. You're trying to directly assign a 'Point' (the Location property returns a 'Point') to a String property. You must assign a String to a String property.
3. You're setting the Text of TextBox1 in the TextChanged event handler, which will result in the user not being able to write anything in the textbox.

Your trying to assign a system drawing point to a textbox, this won't work.
What are you trying to do here ?

btw Welcome to the forum

I am just trying to show the user where they are on the web, because now, if you type google.com and click on something, it stays google.com .

[hah3303]

I tried:

TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Location.tostring

That didn't work, so I tried

TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.URL.tostring

It showed the correct URL, but now, you cannot type in the textbox.

as Atheist said

You're setting the Text of TextBox1 in the TextChanged event handler, which will result in the user not being able to write anything in the textbox.

[hah3303]

So, does anyone know what I am to do?

btw Welcome to the forum

Thanks.

[.paul.]

can't you set textbox1.text when you change the url, instead of in the TextChanged event handler?

[hah3303]

I'm not that experienced

[.paul.]

show us what code you've got + we might be able to help you more

[hah3303]

Do you want the entire code, or just that part?

[.paul.]

the more information the better

Heres form1 :

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoBack()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoBack()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        WebBrowser1.Stop()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        WebBrowser1.Refresh()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://bubbabrowser.sourceforge.net")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)
    End Sub

    Private Sub AboutToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        AboutBox.ShowDialog()
    End Sub

    Private Sub AboutToolStripMenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AboutToolStripMenuItem1.Click
        AboutBox.Show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
End Class

I think thats all you need, but heres AboutBox:

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class AboutBox

    Private Sub OK_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK_Button.Click
        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Cancel_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cancel_Button.Click
        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

basically wherever you change the webbrowser web address you need to update the textbox.

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoBack()
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        WebBrowser1.GoBack()
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        WebBrowser1.Stop()
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        WebBrowser1.Refresh()
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://bubbabrowser.sourceforge.net")
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)
        TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub AboutToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        AboutBox.ShowDialog()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub AboutToolStripMenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AboutToolStripMenuItem1.Click
        AboutBox.Show()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
 
End Class

but don't do it in TextBox1_TextChanged

[hah3303]

You did it on lines 28-30, correct?

[Atheist]

Set it when the WebBrowsers DocumentCompleted event fires.

[.paul.]

i was just about to have a look at the webbrowser control.....

[hah3303]

Okay, uhm, whatever it is doing :S . Isn't going to work x_X

[.paul.]

Set it when the WebBrowsers DocumentCompleted event fires.

do what Atheist said. it should work

[Atheist]

First off, remove all occurances of this in your code:

TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString

Then, in the code view, you'll see a drop-down list on the upper left corner by the code, select your WebBrowser control in it. Now the drop-down list to the right will be filled with Events for the WebBrowser control, simply select the DocumentCompleted event in it.
An event-handler for that event will be created. Place this in it:

TextBox1.Text = e.Url.ToString()

Thats all.

Awesome! Thanks so much everyone. I have another question, but I will make a new topic.
