Internet Address Bar 1

[Guest_imported]

Hello, I used to have the code for a web browser but I have lost it.
So could anyone tell me the code for when someone types in an web site address, the application goes to that address.

So in other words I wanna make my own web browser.

Thanks.

The easiest way to do that is to site a webbrowser control on your form. The webbrowser control will be available when you include the 'Microsoft Internet Controls' component in you vb project. After that your off to the races!

Sure, the webbrowser control makes this pretty easy... but it isn't necessary to perform the task referenced in the question. Add a text box to a form, paste the following code, run the project and press enter in the text box (or type a URL and press enter).
[tt]
Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text =

"[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com"[/URL]

End Sub

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
ShellExecute Form1.hwnd, vbNullString, _
Text1.Text, vbNullString, _
"C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End If
End Sub
[/tt]
I guess it doesn't matter how you get there. As long as you get there.

Or try this:
Add a command button to the form and pasre this code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.freejavascripts.f2s.com/"[/URL]
End Sub

If you reread the question you'll notice that MCRicketts doesn't want to open Internet Explorer. He wants to be able to view web pages from within his application.

Thanks for you replys but as Josh said, I do want to open the page within my application.
