Web browser

[Bersani]

I am looking for a control for the web browser to insert the URL. Where are you supposed to insert the URL?
Like many, I am extremely sorry that Microsoft is not making new versions of VFP. VFP has been wonderful and there is nothing to replace it!!

Are you referring to the Microft Web Browser ActiveX control?

If so, are you asking how to navigate to a particular URL?

If so, you need to call the Navigate2 method, passing the URL as a parameter.

Does that answer your question? If it doesn't, perhaps you could clarify what you need to know.

The Web Browser Control is not a broweser. It's just the main canvas of an IE. You can use it to display a site and add your own UI around it. It has a method navigate2() and there you can pass in a URL. Use a simple Textbox for user entry of a URL, for example, whatever you like.

If you wnt a broswer, just start it by either
oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.visible = .T.

or by ShellExecute("

http://google.com",...more

parameters here) to start the standard browser of a user.

I don't know what you expect or want, so tell us.

Bye, Olaf.

Assuming you are using the web browser control, use a textbox for input just as you would anywhere else in VFP.

Once the user has typed the URL, you can use the textbox's Valid() method to call the webrowser's navigate2 method.

Bersani,

Are you still here? You've had several useful suggestions. It would be good to know whether these solved your problem.

Mike
