how to retrieve selected web address in web browser control

1 New Member
In my application I want to allow the user to "browse" to a section of the Subversion repository and select any location and have the URL display in a message box. Navigating through a Subversion repository is a lot like navigating in Windows Explorer, except you use a web browser.

I have created a VB.Net application VS 2005 and added the WebBrowser control to the form, named WebBrowser1. I have set the default URL in the properties. I'm not sure I need an address bar, but maybe that would help. If so, I can't get one to work.

When I launch the application, the default URL displays in the web browser with the top level projects displaying as folders. I can click on any of these folders and go to the next level. However, I can't figure out a way to actually SELECT the item I am currently on and have it display in a Message Box. I can get the Message Box to work, just not to display anything meaningful.

For example, if my starting URL is http://<server>/MFI, when the documentcomplet ed event is finished, I don't see the URL, but I do see the contents of MFI. If one of the content items of MFI is clients and I double click it, I see the contents of that item. However, I can't seem to retrieve the contents (=URL) of the selected item.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? It seems like it should be easy enough, but I am at a loss after spending several days searching the internet and trying numerouss approaches suggested there.

Thank you.
Nancy

This doesn't seem like it should be *that* difficult, but after quite some time trying to figure it out, I'm still banging my head against the wall. My objective is to examine the exact case-sensitive domain used by the client to request a page, such as http://www.mysite.com vs. http://www.MySite.com. As I spin through all the ServerVariables and various & sundry HTTP headers (e.g. ALL_HTTP, ALL_RAW, etc.), all I seem to pick up is the...

I've got a DropDownList control on my ASP.Net page and I cannot retrieve it's value (via its SelectedValue property) if the control is hidden or disabled. Once I set the control to visible and enabled then the currently selected value is available in code. Any ideas how I can hide or disable a DropDownList but still retrieve its value as I don't want the users to be able to directly change its value. Thanks in advance.

Hi folks, I have a problem using the Calendar Control. Let me explain: On my first page, "Default.aspx", I have a calendar control named "calPrimary". I then have a Web User Control on the page that needs to get the calPrimary.SelectedDate property each time the calPrimary.SelectionChanged event fires. So, my web user control is called "eNotes.ascx". It is supposed to connect to a database and retrieve all the user's notes for the day...

Hi! I'm using a standard server side ASP.Net listbox control on a web form. The page is basically various shades of green. The listbox itself has a pale green background and forest green text and a forest green border. However, when you move the cursor from one item to the next within the listbox or you click on an item in the listbox to select it, the background turns to the standard windows dark blue with white letters. Well, that...

I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. I have a Button that calls GridView.DataBind. I want the row that is selected before the DataBind to still be selected afterwards. This happens automatically if the data doesn't change. But if records have been added or deleted then it looks as if some code is necessary: I've done this by using GridView.SelectedValue to get the key value of the currently selected Row and then by itterating...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
