[RESOLVED] Opening New Window problem

[dunlop03]

Hi ,

im starting a new program and im stuck already lol , im using a webbrowser control , when i open a new window i cant seem to get the new window to navigate to a different webpage. Heres my current code.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.playstationevents.com/mainforum/index.php?action=forum")
        WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub Fifa10ToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Fifa10ToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Dim new_window As New Form1
        new_window.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        new_window.Show()
    End Sub
End Class

Okay, these functions don't interact with eachother in any way so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to navigate your WebBrowser after opening the Form new_window.

Maybe the code you are using to navigate are malfunctioning, however if you are saying that your Form_Load Sub isn't working, try to disable the toolstrip sub and run the code.

*EDIT* To navigate from another window, you need to 'call' the window which has the form and then its object,
Form1.WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://google.com")

Its is navigating , on the form_load. i want the new window to navigate to a different web page when i open the new window.

then my dear friend, you need to alter the new_window_Load() event into navigating the WebBrowser, or since you are creating the window programatically, you could add the navigation in the same event as on the ToolStripMenuItem_Click()

ive tried that wont work either

Dim new_window As New Fifa_leagues
        new_window.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        new_window.WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://fifa10league.leaguerepublic.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=1924592&psSelectedDivision=1273027&go=Go&psSelectedLeague=1647378")
        new_window.Show()

Well, a question:
Do you want to navigate within a new webbrowser control or the one existing in Form1?

So now, do you already have a form called Fifa_leagues? or are you going to open the form programatically as you wrote in post #1?
If you already have a form, you don't need to re-declare it, you can write something like this:

Fifa_leagues.Show() 'Create the form
Fifa_leagues.WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://fifa10league.leaguerepublic.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=1924592&psSelectedDivision=1273027&go=Go&psSelectedLeague=1647378") 'Navigate

As for creating an object programatically on a programatically created form, I don't know...
Just try to be as explicit as possible, if you create a new form, declare the width, height and position of the form. Do this for the WebBrowser aswell, to make sure that the width and height isn't set to 0 (invisible).

Yes im using another form and im currently using the code you posted above , but im trying to open another window of form 1 and navigate to a different page within the new window.

[Zeelia]

Okay, but do you really need to create the new form programatically?
It would be alot easier adding a new form to the project with an existing WebBrowser.

I might have misunderstood you but if you aren't opening the form programatically, the code in post #6 should work for you.

[dunlop03]

yes im using the code in post 6 to open it , think ill just go ahead with that , probably the best option.

Thanks for your help m8.
