Hey i was wondering how do you open IE's Internet options from my own browser? and also how can i keep the text in the url box updated each time i go to a new url?
Just one other thing dose any one know how i can open i new window in my own application ?. cheers
thanks.
Get a new window: webBrowser1.Document.Window.OpenNew(string url, string windowOptions) Where:
A comma-delimited string consisting of zero or more of the following options in the form name=value. Except for the left, top, height, and width options, which take arbitrary integers, each option accepts yes or 1, and no or 0, as valid values.
channelmode: Used with the deprecated channels technology of Internet Explorer 4.0. Default is no.directories: Whether the window should display directory navigation buttons. Default is yes. height: The height of the window's client area, in pixels. The minimum is 100; attempts to open a window
maller than this will cause the window to open according to the Internet Explorer defaults. left: The left (x-coordinate) position of the window, relative to the upper-left corner of the user's screen, in pixels. Must be a positive integer.location: Whether to display the Address bar, which enables users to navigate the window to a new URL. Default is yes. menubar: Whether to display menus on the new window. Default is yes.resizable: Whether the window can be resized by the user. Default is yes.scrollbars: Whether the window has horizontal and vertical scroll bars. Default is yes.status: Whether the window has a status bar at the bottom. Default is yes.titlebar: Whether the title of the current page is displayed. Setting this option to no has no effect within a managed application; the title bar will always appear.toolbar: Whether toolbar buttons such as Back, Forward, and Stop are visible. Default is yes.top: The top (y-coordinate) position of the window, relative to the upper-left corner of the user's screen, in pixels. Must be a positive integer.width: The width of the window's client area, in pixels. The minimum is 100; attempts to open a window smaller than this will cause the window to open according to the Internet Explorer defaults.
Keep the text in address bar updated: Handle the Navigated event in the web browser control. The event handler will hav a WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs argument which in turn contains info on the new location in the Url property. For example in C#:
private void webBrowser_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e){
textBox1.Text = e.Url.AbsolutePath;
}
You may also handle the DocumentCompleted event which has a similar WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs argument which in turn contains a Url property. Same as previous example.
As for the Options dialog: Well, that's not possible from the webcontrol itself as far as i know! You will have to implement it using some other method.
you can add the following line of code to access Internet Explorer Options
Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,0", 1)
