Load local file in webbrower with AxWebBrowser1

[ralphtrent]

Hi
i have an app that uses the AxWebBrowser1 object. I write an html file to the client and then out like to open the file. Currently the only way the to view the file is if I hardcode the path to the file, but since I want to include an install for this program, I will never know where the file lives. What is the work around to do this? I do not want to put the html file in the temp directory. When I do this:

AxWebBrowser1.Navigage("file://..\html\file.html")

I get the "Action Cancelled" page!


Thanks

Try this:

AxWebBrowser1.Navigage(Application.StartupPath & "\html\file.html")

Note that when developing an application, every time you run it the IDE compiles an .exe and puts in the "bin" directory. For example, if you are developing your app in C:\Projects\MyApp, the .exe. would be compiled in C:\Projects\MyApp\bin. So, any file you create using Application.StartupPath will be in the C:\Projects\MyApp\bin directory.
