digip Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 For IE(x)-6 and below in Visual Basic 6 you can use the internet control, or if you want, disect the "shdocvw.dll" file and write your own control/app, etc to embed a browser into your app. If you have IE7 installed, it will be called somehting like ieframe.dll or similar, but I had issues with IE7 and VB6. Might be better with Visual Studio 2005 and up though since all the examples these days seems to be heading towards this platform with the use of .Net controls. I personally love VB6 but just didn't get into later versions. Great place to look is Planet Source Code for working examples. http://www.planet-source-code.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0u53 Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 nah i know how to do it in vb6 infact its probly the easiest way to do anything would be to use vb6 but ill check out planet source code i wanted to do this in C++ so i wouldnt have to worry about extra dlls and other stuff but i was also thinking that i could make a html parser right? to parse the html or page given and render it to a window although i think that would take alot longer any suggestions?

jollyrancher82 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 window menu combo box buttons status bar custom control for rendering the page in Piecing them together is something you'll have to research, and search MSDN for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 custom control for rendering the page in Piecing them together is something you'll have to research, and search MSDN for. You could do it the easy way and use a rich text control, but then you gotta skip the images... still, it'd work as a text-only browser. Also you'll have to parse and intepret any form of scripting yourself (like JavaScript, etc). The even easier way is to use an IE control on a form, but that's really cheating and isn't making a browser it's (as VaKo said) skinning IE.

natural_orange Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 look into Visual C++ Express 2005/2008 You can add common components like a web browser and many other things, you could probably make tabbed browsing to. As well as toolbars and other stuff. I use Visual Basix Express 2005 and I Love it. Its really easy to make simple porgrams and great GUI's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Check out the source code for Links and/or Lynx. See if you can staple on an alternate display layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
