VB web browser freezing - Visual Basic .NET

mherman

At my company we have a need for a web browser that is locked down. We
were unable to block the View->Explorer Bar menu (wich let them browse
the c drive) so we decided to try and make a web browser in VB6 using
the ie control for the web browser. The problem is a page we use uses
javascript to open a new window and wait for a return value. In
regular IE it works fine, but with my program it opens the new window
and freezes. Neither window responds to my mouse clicks. I am able to
use the keyboard to tab through all the links and stuff but there are
too many and that will not fly, any ideas?

ps. we tried using public web browser v2 and it also freezes at that
point

VB6 or VB Net ?

If VB6, you might ask in the "Classic VB" group:
microsoft.publi c.vb.general.di scussion

The WebBroswer control in VB6 was not all tat great. The .Net version
is somewhat improved.

If I had to guess, here, I would suspect the page in question has a
Javascript error which could be as insignificant as a stray or open
Tag which will cause an error/exception in VB. IE, by default,
generally is set up to ignore Javascript errors. The VB controls are
not. I don't recall how the old control handled Javascript Errors.
The .Net version has a SuppressScriptE rror property.

VS.NET freezes computer on browser preview?

by: Brett | last post by:

I've created a new ASP.NET application. When I preview my aspx webpage in VS.NET 2003, it will freeze my machine. Not every time. Sometimes on the first preview, sometimes on the forth. Any programs I have open can't be closed. The only thing responsive is the mouse. I have to turn of my computer. Using WinXP Pro. Any idea what may be causing this? Thanks, Brett

.NET DevEnv Freezing up

by: boB | last post by:

When I try to run a program - any program - my environment all of a sudden starts freezing up. Even an empty solution. It will build, but never run the built program and the GUI won't respond and needs to be killed with Task Manager. It was running fine until I experimented with VBPowerPack copying it into a current folder instead of using Copy Local. Now, even after deleting it completely, I'm frozen no matter what.

Freezing

by: bearophileHUGS | last post by:

Most of my ideas seem usless or stupid, but I think expressing them here doesn't harm much. This is an idea for Py 3.0, because it's not backward compatible. Dicts and sets require immutable keys, like tuples or frozensets, but to me they look like a duplication. So the idea is to remove tuples and frozensets (and replace the few other uses of tuples with lists, like the % interpolation), and to add a freeze operation, to freeze lists,...

Strange effects from IE7 browser freezing on ASP site

I have a strange problem as a result of installeing the beta version of IE7. Through a process of elimination I am 98% sure IE7 is the cause. What happens is I have a website that is built with ASP 2.0 and DNN 4.02 There is nothing added to the site other then the basic install. And actually the site has been completely deleted from the server and reinstalled since this problem started and the problem still exist. I can go to my web page...

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,...
