My VB WebBrowser by conless on 06-15-2004 at 08:33 AM

Hey all, I had posted my browser like a week ago or so. anyways, I just wanted you guys to have a new look at it. I updated it, new colors (cool colors, I think :S)
New things added...
Google Search bar.
ConXplayer, Coded my own .avi,.mp3,.mpeg,.mpg, etc. player
Yes, it plays while you browse! :D im proud of that

I added, some other little things.
Please take a look at it, and tell me if you find bugs or suggestions, or something. NO SHIT TALKING PLEASE! :P
if you dont like it, dont say anything. I am a noob at this so dont expect this shit to be the BOMB. I am just doing what I can.

errr.... I don't like them :) but anyone has his own likings

about the borwer itself: can you make it works well in 800x600? I mean, it works, but it's too wide and i can't see it correctly :P

ah! also if the user types a page that bagins with "http://", don't add it again ;)

Oh yea, forgot about that http://. Its like everyone I know doesnt type http:// or www.
they just type google.com like that so thats why I made it like that.
anyways, thx for letting me know.

Thanks, I am going to keep working on it :)

i don't like the colors :( also, the interface is so sticked to each other. if you show/hide, it should resize a bit to make it look better.
it doesn't seem to like resizing.
also, the color changing is good, but make an option to edit BG and the button colors :)

you really used the IE control here :)

Cant make it resize it self :S. That was the best I can do :P. like I said I am a noob at this but of course I will get better with time and when I do, imma update the whole thing.
What you mean by the "edit BG" the button colors do change, but I dont know how the color of the text in the buttons change forecolor dont work with buttons.

Yea, thats what everyone told me about the IE control :S
I still consider it mines cause I coded it, but since im using IE stuff its not all mines like 60%. I get the bigger half :P


If you mean the colors of the buttons by the icons in there like the green printer, mail, home. etc., those are pics. Since they have that color they stay like that, Imma find a way to make them change too.
RE: My VB WebBrowser by Millenium_edition on 06-16-2004 at 10:17 AM

nono, I ment:
to be able to change the backcolor of the buttons and of the background sperately, so you choose each's color!

RE: My VB WebBrowser by doggie on 06-16-2004 at 10:40 AM

is it an actual browser or just someone adding a IE control box? :S

hmmm, I dont know how to do that yet, but I will try to learn how.

Have you tested my ConXplayeR yet??
You can play mp3s, avi, mpeg, mpg, etc. without laggin
You can browse and play music while you surf

You open the file with the eject button.
check it out :D
RE: My VB WebBrowser by matty on 06-17-2004 at 03:30 AM

The resizing part is simple. You use the subroutine

Private Sub Form_Resize()

End Sub

When the form is resized the control gets bigger or smaller. Also at the top of the Subroutine add On Error Resume Next This will tell the application that if there is an error skip to the next line.

I been sending it to a lot of ppl and mostly everyone is loving it :D.
maybe just cause a lot of ppl hate the IE. I love my browser too, it loads faster than IE and you can play music while you suft without laggin. I want to add more stuff to it but I dont know what, any suggestions??
I am trying to create a better icon or like a logo. any ideas??
I creating the site for it too, so it will be out soon. nothing fancy cause I am not that good on it. But like I said before, I will get better with time. :D
RE: My VB WebBrowser by Dempsey on 06-18-2004 at 10:48 AM

when you goto View --->  Text Size

you have the order the wrong way around, Largest makes it small and Smallest makes it big!

And the colour scheme is a bit bright!  i agree with Millenium_edition about changing the colours and the background and buttons sepersatley.

To do the resizing, do what Matty said,

code:
Private Sub Form_Resize()
     webBrowser1.width = screen.width - 100
     webBrowser1.left = 50
end sub
something like that, but obviuously do the height too and change weBrowser1 to your control name

And add a XP manifest file, so the controls look XP stylee

It wouldn't be screen.width - 100 it would be Me.Width - 120 (Me being the Form)

Both


If anyone is still reading this thread here are the current things my browser offers.


Instant Hide: Using F12 will Instantly Hide any instances of the browser, and will put an icon in the system tray that is password protected (if set).
Pop Blocker: Currently the one coded does not allow any new windows to be created, not even if you click on. This is because of the way the Browser Control is set.

To Do List
Internet Explorer Tweaks: The Options section of the browser will not only allow you to set settings for the browser but will allow you to tweak Internet Explorer.
Tabs: Like Opera, MyIE2 and FireFox there will be an option to have tabs so that only one window is used

I cant think of anything else at the moment but when it is finished you will all know about it :)

search in :google: "windows xp manifest", and read about what's it and how to use it.

then create a .manifest file and add it as a resource to your exe (using reshack). Put it at 24,1,0. And remember to call the API InitCommonControls before any form is loaded in your program. That's the way I do it.
