web browser ctrl - retrieve address for display in textbox?

Greetings,

I am using a web browser control to browse windows explorer. I give it a
default address as below and then click on some folder. The question is:
how do I retrieve the address of the folder I clicked on so that I can
display it in a textbox similar to windows explorer?

object loc = "W:\\EP 2005";
object null_obj_str = "";
System.Object null_obj = 0;
this.axWebBrows er1.Navigate2(r ef loc , ref null_obj, ref null_obj, ref
null_obj_str, ref null_obj_str);

While I am at it, is there a back button mechanism that is already built
into .Net 2.0? Or do I have to go with my plan of noting all the addresses
that have been visited and then just navigating backwards from the list of
visited address that I store?

Thanks,
Rich

Back to your original issue: since you say you're using .NET 2.0, I
strongly suggest you use the native WebBrowser control
(System.Windows .Forms.WebBrows er) rather than the ActiveX-wrapped
kludge. It's more robust and easier to use.
("Native" is the wrong word - there's still an ActiveX control being
wrapped, but it's the Framework WebBrowser class doing the wrapping
for you.)

It seems that Ctrl-N in Mozilla opens a new empty browser window. That's fine, I don't need to do anything about it. But Ctrl-N in IE appears to clone the current window. Is there a way to intercept the key so that I can do stuff on the server side to make the new window behave correctly? (We have a JSP-based webapp which stores state in the session. Now if two windows access (and modify!) the same session, then madness will result....

I wonder if anyone has a solution? I wanted to use the web browser control as a 'zoom' box for a smaller textbox. I can format in the control, and save whatever formatting as HTML code back to the textbox when the web browser is closed. The only problem comes in the use of numeric entities to specify Unicode. The web browser control is fine when it comes to named entities, like &nbsp; . And there are a lot of named entities, just...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
