I am also trying to make my own web browser, but i cannt find out how to do one thing.

When the form loads, I have set the browser control to open my personal site. When it loads, it loads the site but doesn't display the url of the site in the combobox which I have made for the address bar.

I was wondering, what is the code for grabbing the url of a page and displaying it in the combobox?

this is very simple, go to the web browsers documentcompleted property and add this code for the combobox.

combobox1.items.add(webbrowser1.url)

not sure what this is going to be used for, but if you plan on using this to navigate back to previous sites then what you would want to do is for the combobox's selectedindexchange property add this code.

webbrowser1.navigate(combobox1.selecteditem)

if you have any other questions or i haven't completely answered your question i'll be glad to give my best answer.

That has told the browser to list the site when you click the combo box, however, when a site loads or a page changes from clicking on a link, the text does not update, like on other browsers.

The reason I am struggling with this is because I am used to VB6, as that is what I learned at college.

Anyway, i think the VB6 code was:

combobox1.caption = webbrowser1.locationurl

This, however doesnt work doe to .NET framework being introduced and I am wanting to know the new version of this code, as the code upgrade doesn't understand it.


EDIT: Found an article on MSDN and here is the code they gave, which seems to work for me.

' Updates the URL in TextBoxAddress upon navigation.
    Private Sub webBrowser1_Navigated(ByVal sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs) _
        Handles WebBrowser1.Navigated

        txtAddress.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString()

    End Sub

Hence, it was the ToString() that I didn't know that I needed to use. This code has also got me to switch from combobox to textbox.

i apologize for not understanding what you were asking, i would suggest you continue to use a combobox for you can do the same thing along with showing other sites you have visited upon typing with ease.
