Display Web Browser in Visual Basic Program

This example has nothing to do with Chilkat, but we get asked the question from time to time: How do you display a web browser in a program? The most common solution is to use Microsoft’s WebBrowser ActiveX to embed Internet Explorer into your application. Here is a simple VB6 project to embed Internet Explorer.

The entire source code for this program is listed here:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	
    WebBrowser1.Navigate2 "about:blank", navNoReadFromCache
    WebBrowser1.StatusBar = True
	
End Sub
	
Private Sub Form_Resize()
	
    WebBrowser1.Width = Form1.Width - 400
    WebBrowser1.Height = Form1.Height - 1200
	
End Sub
	
Private Sub LoadUrlBtn_Click()
	
    WebBrowser1.Navigate2 UrlTextBox.Text, navNoReadFromCache
	
End Sub

Here is a screenshot (after "Load URL" has been clicked):
