Making A Web Browser

Part 1 : What's Needed?

I'm going to create a webbrowser using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition which is free to download and use.
This is the step by step guide on how to do it.

So, open up Visual basic 2005 and we'll get started.

Click on Create : Project on the left side of the program and create a windows application.

Then, you'll be shown the form which will become your program in design view. The visual basic suites are good to use because they allow you to create programs and applications with ease.
Have a play around with some of the properties in the right window to see what they do.

I.E : Change the name of your form to something which you can relate to, like Frm1 (but, for the sake of this post, I'm going to leave everything the default name it is given.

So, first off, we need to work out what is needed in a basic web browser.

1. Address Bar.
   
2. Go Button.
   
3. Page Display.
   

I'll show you how we're going to start in the next post.
