vb web browser tutorial

[Ronny123]

Hi,

I am trying to use the WebControl in VB6 as an activeX which I put in a cab file and then display in a html page.

Only problem is that I am not able to get to the URL of the current page :
locationURL does not work and documentCompleted does not run as I describe in http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...54#post3748554

Can somebody help me with this.

Thanks !

Private Sub WebBrowser1_TitleChange(ByVal Text As String)
    Form1.Caption = WebBrowser1.LocationName
End Sub

Show page title in the forms caption.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the reply !

The problem here is I am using vb 6 and I am running an activeX in IE. When I use the activeX I created in a vb 6 desktop client all works well. But in the browser it does not.

I do not think the link you send me does answer this or did I miss something?

Ronny,

I was replying to the question from smith carlos regarding a .Net version, which is shown in the link that I posted.

Sorry, I have no idea about your question, I don't do VB 6

Dear Sir,
Today only i visited this forum and found it very useful.

I know programming in VB6, and currently facing a problem.
The problem is that i want to open the link on my webbrowser control in in a new window.
If i am using the right click > open in new window then i am able to catch it via..

Private Sub wb_NewWindow2(index As Integer, ppDisp As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
  ........
  .........
  frmMain.wb(new_index).RegisterAsBrowser = True
  Set ppDisp = frmMain.wb(new_index).Object
End Sub

But what i want is even if somebody click the left mouse button on a link, i shall be able to open it in a new window (with session maintained).

Second thing is that i want to scroll the loaded page programatically (pagedown/pageup).

Is it possible to do the above two actions?

I can only give you a solution for your first question. Just use the following code:

Option Explicit
Enum BrowserNavConstants
    navOpenInNewWindow = 1
    navNoHistory = 2
    navNoReadFromCache = 4
    navNoWriteToCache = 8
    navAllowAutosearch = 16
    navBrowserBar = 32
    navHyperlink = 64
    navEnforceRestricted = 128
    navNewWindowsManaged = 256
    navUntrustedForDownload = 512
    navTrustedForActiveX = 1024
    navOpenInNewTab = 2048
    navOpenInBackgroundTab = 4096
    navKeepWordWheelText = 8192
    navVirtualTab = 16384
    navBlockRedirectsXDomain = 32768
    navOpenNewForegroundTab = 65536
End Enum

so you can now navigate to a site (e.g. google.com) by using:
WebBrowser1.navigate "www.google.com", 1
I can't give you an answer for your second question.

Does anybody know where I can find either an opera browser control, a google chrome control, a good non-glitchy firefox control, or just adding security to the standard IE control? i have a firefox control already but it is probably the worst thing i have ever had to deal with so i think i need a different thing. oh and also a bookmarks thing. that would be great.

* Show webpage's source code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = Form1.browser.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
End Sub

Hi!

I would like to ask for a little help with this feature. It works great, but doesnt do everything what i really need. I want monitor every page's source code. But this code monitors only the page, what you typed in Combo1. After i click on the loaded page navigate to an other --> the source -Form1.browser.Document.documentElement.innerHTML- doesnt change. If i type other adress, it creates a new innerHTML. Hope, i could wrote my problem well..

So my question is: how can i monitor every page's source code

Thank you in advance

[metamaster765]

is there a code to load a saved page? if someone could post it, that'd be great.

[jmsrickland]

You should ask your questions in the main forum. I think you will get better responces there.

MSWindowsUser, I don't really need the attachment as mine came with it and i run 6.0 However, Nelton, I have made a Web Browser, Not with the timer or notes, but it does have searchbox..I have another with a history box. though i dont no why, but to add stuff to it, you need to highlight it all blue, and press backspace (erase key) for it to add... If anyone can give me code so it automaticly adds, then thanks!

Hello. Are you talking about when displaying the title of the site e.g. www.google.com - Google (title bar)? or the StatusBar e.g. Loading www.google.com/ladidadid Done?

[chukka32]

Hi MSWindowsUser,
What I'm trying to do is to keep the current page URL displayed in a separate textbox, so that when I browse back and fro with the navigate buttons then the textbox changes with the webbrowser control if that makes any sense?! I basically need the code to read the URL for the current page that is displayed in the web browser?!?!
Thanks for your prompt response!!

Hey,

If you are creating a Web Browser in Visual Studio 2005, why are you posting/asking questions about it in the VB6 forum?!?

Take a look at the links in my signature, they will be of more help to you if you are using .Net.

Hi, I'm new here. I know how to make a web browser in VB 2010 but I don't know how to let it access IP address like 192.168.1.1 or else. Please help me...

Hello silveraero,

Welcome to the forums!

Can you please provide more information about what you are trying to achieve? Are you saying that you want to restrict access to a site based on the client IP address, or are you saying that you want your web browser to be able to access a website that is hosted on 192.168.1.1. If it is the latter, then it should simply be a case of navigating to http://192.168.1.1.

Sorry, it's double post. Thank you very much. Solved it.

I'm design a web base application. Here is the description: I have an Android phone and I installed a wifi transfer application. I build this application as an file transfer center, you know, like PC suite or sync ... (my country is not using English as main language so sorry for my bad English).

What I want to as is how can I list the phone that using the wifi transfer application so I just need to choose in the list to transfer?
And, when I resize the form, the right align control will not realign to the border and stay still. Here is my solution for this:
[qupte]Private Sub Main_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
cbPort.Top = 15
cbIP.Top = 15
cmdBack.Top = 10
cmdForward.Top = 10
cmdHome.Top = 10
cmdStop.Top = 10
cmdGo.Top = 10
cmdStop.Left = Me.Width - cmdStop.Width - 40
cmdGo.Left = Me.Width - (cmdStop.Width) * 2 - 45
cbPort.Left = Me.Width - (cmdStop.Width) * 2 - 50 - cbPort.Width
cbIP.Width = Me.Width - (cmdBack.Width) * 5 - cbPort.Width - 90
End Sub

I just think about the controls size and scale. Does anyone have better solution?
