How To Make An Advanced Webbrowser In Visual Basic 2008

[@xMaXP0w3rx]

I had absolutely no problems with these codes, all worked perfectly, just need to find out how to do History and Bookmarks now :)

[@DJKBEATS]

thanks man you dont even know how much this helped me....i am a subscriber and i was wonderin were ya been cuz u aint made no tuts in a while.. u should make some more cuz ur good

[@SnowyNowak]

Ah, there we go. Found out how to open it. Thanks for the tutorial, this is a pretty decent browser you shown us how to make right here.

[@dougjarvis08]

Turns out you have to convert Webbrowser to Windows.Forms.Webbrowser. Looks sick! Thanks again

[@Thunder081]

Because there are some spaces in the code form the description. When you put the code in just find the spaces where the words are underlined and delete them. This is due to youtubes layout.

[@Deadwolf9494]

For everyone having a problem with -1, open the folder where you saved the project, open bin, debug and run the .exe file at the bottom. I think you have to build it too.

[@Hunter7023]

If anyone has problems I 100% reccommend just downloading the source code he provided in the description box. Every problem has been fixed.

[@lanman132]

@ZooOfFailure First, click on your browser control in the designer. Then find the "Anchor" property in the "Properties" window. Then click on both white rectangles in the pop-up to make the browser resize when you resize the entire window.

[@XimontageiX]

@Zariack theres an option in the properties menu called "FormBorderStyle" make sure this is set to sizeable

[@koolaidblaze]

Very nice tutorial. I just started learning how to use VB ( i literally just started using it today) This is the best tutorial i have come upon for a web browser =) I need to find one on how to do bookmarks.. and other things like that... Anyway. Nice tutorial! I added some things, and took out some, but still good tut. =) 5/5

[@MJVelascoSalvador]

THANKS MAN. This tutorial and it's uploader rocks!

[@OBSInternational]

I use the code just as you displayed it on this page and it worked just fine. I had to make some adjustments to solve the few errors I received after debugging the program. I have one question though: I am in the process of building my own search engine and I would like to know how can I point my browser to the new search engine's address instead of MSN as the home page?

[@burtugey]

Thought it took me sometime but it was really great tuts... worth 5 stars wish you to go ahead !

[@cldream]

@MarFur93 It doesn't matter. Try creating a conditional If statement that if the value of e.CurrentProgress is at or falls below 0, set the value of the ProgressBar to 0. Otherwise, just keep it as-is. If e.CurrentProgress

[@hette666]

for the beginners to make the webbrowser1 bigger (in vb 08 it could be done just attach to the side of the form, but i dont know for sure, i am using vb 10) in vb 10 ""webbrowser1.width = form1.width - {number}"" same for height

[@niveusproductions]

Go into the properties box on the bottom left and set the anchor to bottom left right and top by highliting all four directions.

[@cldream]

@TostiEr1k You have to create a Resize event subroutine for the form. I'm not sure if there's a quick and dirty way to calculate the correct sizes and positions, but from what I usually do, I just look at the properties of each control and subtract that from the size of the form, and you get a number to use to subtract that number from whatever the form size is, and will properly display the components.

[@dougjarvis08]

Great video. A real big help on a school project. Awesome tutorial.

[@supermrt]

Thanks for your awesome work, however during the debugging phase of this program here are a few things that don't work, or should be added. The tab control fill code.. when you resize the page it only takes up 1/2 of the page, you can change this by going into properties and anchoring to all 4 sides. And Changing the home page? not sure how to change? Thanks

[@superkamekworld4640]

Sorry for thhe lat ereply but the home page is internet explorer's

[@sigmaboy2]

youre awsome with the most advanced videos out there

[@napsterpat]

@MegumiKizuna look through the code, where theres a blue squiggly line look for a - in the code where it shouldn't, for instance I-tem, which should be Item

[@joshuaaragon23]

Amazing! It worked! Now i can share my Professional Web Browser Titled: High Speed

[@chuckdries]

@awsomekid702 dock the tabcontrol to "Bottom" and place the buttons at the top in a panel, which you should dock "top"

[@de8struction]

this video helped me so much i came back just to rate it five stars agin :D

[@nguyennguyenkn]

after you saved it, go to the folder where you saved it, right click on the program and select Create Shortcut, then place the Shortcut to your desktop, now you have your own software on your desktop...

[@PacManPalafox18]

couple of questions 1)can i download things? 2)can i install toolbars like google toolbar? 3)can i make it look cool like change the color and things like that? 4)is it like a program? you know like when you download firefox sorry for the many questions im a noob n_n

[@phamily-tv]

Hey thanks, it works, and when I finished your steps, I had some "exception" error, but I downloaded your file and repasted the whole code, fixed it, and so I probably did something wrong there :P

[@TheGuyIsBack23]

thanks a lot man i mean it. i completed my web browser and it seems to be ok but can u do an improved version of the tutorial?i mean that at the 3rd code in description the val code was missing and when i enlarged my browser the webbrowser1 was at the same. Now i improved it by making a toolbar and a dock at the webbrowser1 so it enlarges with the mouse. can u make a part 2 plz and tell us how to add bookmarks save page or file as restart web browser and more stuff like Xplorer i sawed before?

[@MegaTony1965]

Its so cool It works fine in vb 2005 with few modifications. Thanks

[@napsterpat]

all the code given is correct, but when you paste it to the builder, some unnecessary "-"'s appear where they shouldn't....so go through the code and pick out little things that shouldn't be there.....such as CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.I-tem(0) I-tem should be Item...and they appear all over the code so go through and pick out the -'s AFTER pasting it in the builder

[@SnowyNowak]

How do I get the form to automatically resize to fit the screen resolution? I'm planning on not keeping this to myself and allowing others who don't have a 1440x900 screen to use it as well.

[@superjose96121]

you have to put current progress and the max progress but type try first. like: Try progressbar1.value=e.currentprogress progressbar1.maximum=e.maximumprogress catch ex as exeption end try

[@de8struction]

how is it posibel to make the refresh buttonautomaticly keep refreshing every 5mins or 2 seconds

[@ttpa1]

HI do you know how to do so you have labels as bookmarks like you have favorites there you have you bookmarks but i whant to have like quik 5 bookmarks if you know what i mean??

[@SnowyNowak]

How do I reopen the project? I was reformatting it around my monitor (the res. is 1440x900, I was setting it to 1400x900) and I forgot to make the Go button and Combo Box match my screen as well.

[@cldream]

@hesekielz That means you're not programming in VB2008. You're programming in C#(C-Sharp).

[@selectoNET]

When you move from a tab to another, the url does not change in the combobox. How would you fix this?

[@sgtfrankieboy]

yes, it does it's the same but he has a bundle with C# VB C++ and Web devolper

[@cldream]

@TheComputerFIX you can add them, since if you coded it.

[@jashv9128]

i m getting error Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. C:\Documents and Settings\jash\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary Projects\tech search\Form1.vb 26 115 tech search please some one help

[@Realmlist]

I LOL'd since the 3rd time when he said "And here's the code!" :'D Nice vid anyway, I'm trying this out @ school.

[@Iink8080]

i wish there was a tutorial like this ( with how to do this tabs for webbrowsers, Internet properties remove tab ... ) in Visual C++

[@vivekforbes]

Thanks for the tutorial..Is it possible to make this content within the control..it means i done want scrollbars and i want see sites within the control size..

[@cldream]

@MYBIGFATCATOWNSYOU In VB2008, there's a Clipboard class in there that you can use to perform those functions.

[@DarshThanki]

@NowWonderWhat That just means that your disabling the progress bar. What if you need the progress bar?

[@Zariack]

How can you make it so that the browser can be expanded? Like maximize it or make it smaller?

[@BrewerFR]

ok so for everything above the web browser, you want the anchor properties to be top, left and right, for the web browser the anchor properties need to be top, left, right, and bottom, and for everything below the web browser set the anchor properties to left, bottom, and right. Doing this will mean the web browser your producing can be ANY size, and all the componenets will still fit the screen ok... message me if you dont understand k ?

[@Coi1221]

I finished the web browser just like on the video, but a VB standard webbrowser does not support alot. I can't download things, or watch youtube videos (like now), so how do I enable all these things?

[@Twasik4]

yea, to make the accept button button 6. select the main form. go to the top of the properties list and it says "Accept Button" click it and choose button 6

[@BitcoinHalvingCountdown]

i love the way you say "gidday yout-ube!" cool vid btw

[@1waitandbleed1]

If your going to make an 'advanced web browser' you should base the source off of Google Chrome or Opera since IE seems to blow.

[@vanessamontez3331]

[@romilstevemazo7981]

THANK YOU! ill just have to improve my basic webbrowser :)

[@DeanSmylie]

How do i create browser history ? for example as on every internet browser they have a section of the browser's website history.

[@buggyiscool]

EnviromentalNerd where/ how long did it take you to learn Visual Basic Scripting?

[@NubPwnxU]

I was wondering if i had to do something with tab controlsl like if i had to enable webbrowser functions on it or something to fix it or maybe its just cuz im using vb 2010 any help would be much apreciated

[@Maposaurus]

Thanks for the guide, awesome for a beginner.

[@Wildcatz2014]

I'm making an application and i need a code. When you click a button a text message pops up. What would the code be for that? Thanks

[@supermrt]

One more thing I can't get the enter button to press go (button6) after typing a valid address. I tried messing around with the properties but no luck, any suggestions?

[@DarshThanki]

I'm Getting the -1 but ESKLobbies says to Get rid of the progress bar and code for it but i want to keep the progress bar! what do i do?

[@Archytyra3l]

Does your Tabcontrol resizes after the Form? Mine stays the same size.. how can i make it auto-resize?

[@amalolan]

i dont get it it says Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Int' accepts this number of arguments. Declaration expected Lables are not valid outside methods. Syntax Error. 'End sub' must be preceeded by a matching 'Sub'

[@Gizmo1992]

[@L3t1337]

[@ananui]

I was talking on theory .. I don't know how much code there is but it sure has a lot ..

[@Pyroteknikerna]

@WindowsXV Why didnt you just paste the correct code in the info?!

[@malletbjm]

there is a problem, when you change tabs it shows the url of the other tab you were just on. How do I fix that?

[@Leekinzz]

Enviromental Nerd, How do I make it so when I put it into full screen the Status Window goes into full screen aswell?

[@trumpeter811]

when i entered the dim browser and new webbrowser VB had a error saying type expected. I'm i doing something wrong or no?

[@BoneCrusher3333]

There is a much simpler way, except without tabs - Copy everything he did except the coding and the tab controll. and put in a web browser from the ToolBox - Buttons: Back: WebBrowser1.Back, Forward: WebBrowser1.Forward, Stop: WebBrowser1.Stop, Refresh: WebBrowser1.Refresh, and Go: WebBrowser1.Navigate (Textbox1.Text) DONE!

[@Gizmo1992]

manycam can also do it if you set it up right!

[@Hunter7023]

Meh I'm not sure since but all I think you gotta do is add end class at the very bottom of your code.

[@cldream]

@Tony86ization You probably put it in the wrong place. it's supposed to be inside the namespace like following: Namespace NS Class CLS 'this is where it would be valid most of the time End Class End Namespace

[@ComputerWhack]

@Hunter7023 Usually the IDE does it for you when you type any statement.

[@krisnarocks]

wow! I need help. Every time I type in a web address on the address bar it always ends up with my homepage! Can I/we fix it???

[@mjm55]

i dont know about you but when i copied and pasted there wer gaps in the code, spaces between the letters of the words, and if you delete these spaces i might work.

[@NickismTheory]

[@jadensable]

Can you add different things to your webbrowser without codes

[@MyRngIs]
