Add to Favorites / Organize Favorites dialogs

I'm implementing the WebBrowser control in my app and I would like to be able
to show the Add to Favorites and Organize Favorites dialogs that are used in
Internet Explorer. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Lance

ljEvend,

Was it you I showed this week the as far as I remember me first and last
(greath) help I ever got from Herfried.

\\\
AxWebBrowser.Na vigate("about:< html><body
onload=javascri pt:window.exter nal.addFavorite ('" + textbox1.Text +
"')></body></html>")
///

I hope this helps,

Cor

Normally this should work using 'ExecWB' + 'IDM_ADDFAVORIT ES', but I could
not get it work.

'IDM_ADDFAVORIT ES' Command ID

Thanks a lot for the idea. That sounds similar to what I am looking for, but
I could not get it to work. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks again,
Lance

So far the AxWebBrowser1.E xecWB method did not support IDM_ADDFAVORITE S.
I didn't find any information in the documentation which states that
'IDM_ADDFAVORIT ES' is not supported by 'WebBrowser', however, as it doesn't
work it is obviously not supported.
I think you may try Cor's suggestion


ACK. If you do not want to change the URL in the primary webbrowser control
you may want to place a second webbrowser control on the form and prevent
the user from accessing it as shown below:

\\\

' Dummy webbrowser control used to display the favorites dialog.
With Me.AxWebBrowser 2
.TabStop = False
.Size = New Size(0, 0)
End With
Me.AxWebBrowser 1.Navigate("htt p://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/")
..
..
..
Me.AxWebBrowser 2.Navigate( _
"about:<html><h ead></head>" & _
"<body onload=""javasc ript:window.ext ernal.addFavori te('" & _
Me.AxWebBrowser 1.LocationURL & _
"');""></body></html>" _
)

Peter,

I think that Herfried did not see that it is his sollution, therefore you
did probably of course mean.

"Think you may try Cor's suggestion to use Herfrieds solution showed in far
past to Cor".

Although I agree with you probably as well that this is very confusing for
the OP.

:-)))

Hi

Thank's Herfried and Cor's reply.
I am sorry I did not make it clear, I do not mean IWebBrowser2 unmanged
interface did not support IDM_ADDFAVORITE S.
I means the AxWebrowser managed Wrap did not have the option
IDM_ADDFAVORITE S, if we use VB.NET with ExecWB, the intellisence will popup
a list which did not include the IDM_ADDFAVORITE S.

It looks like that should work, but unfortunately I do not know how to
create the AxWebBrowser. I am only familiar with the
Windows.Forms.W ebBrowser control. If you could help me with this I think I
would be in good shape.

Thanks again,
Lance

Are you using .NET 2.0?

Hi

In 2.0, we have wrap the WebBrowser control as a buildin control, we do not
try to generate the AxWebBrowser via COM Interop, just use the WebBrowser
control.
