opening an axwebbrowser control immediately

[Bernie Yaeger]

I have an axwebbrowser control in a windows app and I want it to start at
the user's IE start page, and to start when the form opens, but I can't get
it to start in the form's load event. I even tried ending the load event
with
gobutton.performclick() but it doesn't work; the click event is not entered.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks for any help.

Bernie,

These all work but I don't know the special command to
the default start page to come up. (

Bob

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' ***************************
' Display the HTML
' ***************************

'AxWebBrowser1.Navigate(CurDir()
+ "\myLocalHTMLFile.htm")
'TextBox1.Text() = "http://www.foxnews.com/"
'AxWebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)
AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.foxnews.com/")

End Sub

You will probably need these buttons, too.

'PerformClick' will only work when the button is visible and enabled. Add
you navigation code to a separate procedure and call it from within the
button's 'Click' event handler and the form's 'Load' event handler.

Bob,

Just 1 hint, did you ever look at "navigate2" ?

Hi Herfried,

Worked fine - thanks, as always!

Hi Cor,

Just took a look at navigate2; looks promising. I will play around with
it - I am after some way of referring, yes, not to a specific url, but
rather to the home page as established on any given pc.

Tx,

Bernie

Cor,

That link must be for paying customers. (

When I went to that link I get "You are not authorized to view this

Hi Bob,

Try it again; I had no trouble connecting to it.
