connect to website via txt box

Hello,
i am new to visual basic but know just a few things.
Right now i am wondering....

i know how to connect to a website via commandbutton.
This code works:
CODEPrivate Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.solidrune.com"
End Sub

And i want to know how it would connect to the website they have typed in a certain textbox.

someone said this...

Well instead of typing the url type text1.text (which is what you should name it before doing it)
eg:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "text1.text"
End Sub
And it then connects to the website address from text1!
happy coding.


i have done this several times.
But when they type url in textbox 1 and press the command button it just says page cannot be displayed.

Please help me out.
Thanks

Do you want it to connect straight away when the URL is in it, or connect after you click the button?

 

after you click command1 button

 

never mind :s i done it. instead of "Text1.text it was text1.text :s my mistake im really sorry guys

 

Edit your post next time. And its not hard.


Command1_Click()
Webbrowser1.navigate Text1.text
End Sub


Easy..

 

You only quote something when you want that exact text to show. IF you want the text from text1.text then you would use

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate text1.text
End Sub

if you wanted a specific url it would be

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.url.here"
End Sub
