Adding a browser to bots

[EviL_MarinE]

Hey, i want to add a Website browser to my bot.
I made a function:

Code Select Expand


Private Sub mnuUpdates_Click()
frmBrowser.Show


I Start it, press that button and it says "No MDI Form Aviabable to Load"
When the form is there
Any ideas anybody?

Do you have your main form set as a MDI parent - such that all MDI forms will only reside in that form?

The properties window is your best friend!

You need a webbrowser for updates? Heres a simple way to show some updates

Code Select Expand

Private Sub Form_load()
Text1.text = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.updates.com/updates.txt")
End Sub

Make the text box multiline and your set.  That will display whatever text you have in the updates.txt to the Text box, give it a try.  Simple, but effective

I'm assuming you had it generate the default browser form.

If you are using an MDI-style form layout, it should be fine.

However, from the looks of it, you are using SDI. Tell the frmBrowser that it isn't a child window.

VB6 has voice recognition ... hrmm

i got it done ages ago, sorry for not saying

[titan0060]

doesn't VB6 come with a browser form built in?

[MeltingWax]

because wouldn't that be a waste when you can use the windows html interpreter?

[LivedKrad]

Sounds stupid.

Uhm, you relize that there is a Internet Explorer .ocx.

I strongly suggest using the Execute method and then a nice state changed procedure.   Runs about 5 times faster from what I have noticed.
