Creating a web browser...

• FredrikE

  I think I found it (it was hiding)...

  It is in the 'Form1.designer' file.

  Can the left and top properties be used instead of location

  I can't just make it not visible because i'm trying to stop the 'Connect to...' box from coming up (if they are offline) untill the user wants to access the web through my web browser (by pressing the button).

  There's also left and top properties you need to set. An easier way would be to let it be created, but set it as not Visible ( visible = false ) and then make it visible when you want to see it.

  Search your project, it's hidden in a 'compiler generated code' block, or something like that. If you're using VS2005, it's in a different file from the one you generally edit.

  The only thing I could find that has the text InitialiseComponent is in the code for form1:

  using System;

  using System.Collections.Generic;

  using System.ComponentModel;

  using System.Data;

  using System.Drawing;

  using System.Text;

  using System.Windows.Forms;

  using fixmistakes;

  namespace WindowsApplication1

  {

  public partial class Form1 : Form

  {

  public Form1()

  {

  InitializeComponent(); //OVER HERE!

  }

  Right click on that and choose 'jump to definition' and it will take you to the code in another partial class.

  Yeah... I noticed that when I looked at the 'Form1.designer' file... but I'm lazy so I just copied the code from there...

  hi,

  you forgot to add the component on the fly to the form controls so it will not be displaied,

  private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  WebBrowser webbrowser2 = new WebBrowser();

  webbrowser2.Height = 250;

  webbrowser2.Width = 279;

  //you have forgot to add those 2 lines

  webbrowser2.Location = new Point(20, 20);

  this.Controls.Add(webbrowser2);

  }

  also you can add the control to the form and to hide it by useing visible property and when you click on the button to show it

  in the form load event handler

  webbrowser2.visible = False;

  and in button click event handler

  webbrowser2.visible = true;

   

  hope that helps

  I just made a webbrowser in the forms designer... where is the InitialiseComponent code
  

• Kumarsamy

  Yeah, in VC#2005 you can define a class across multiple .cs files, and the designer does this to seperate your code from the code it generates.

  Good luck !!

  I'm not sure. the best way to find out is to create one in the forms designer, and then look at hte code in InitializeComponent which creates the item. If you copy this code, you can't go wrong.
