Really simple Browser tutorial...

(G)rapefruit's supersimple Visual Basic tutorial: How to make a simple web browser!

################################################## #############################################
For newbies.

Step one:

Start Visual basic, File > New Project > Windows Form application > Name it > OK.

Step two:

Resize it to your preferable size and insert these things:

*Textbox
*5 Buttons ( I KNOW THAT THERE IS A BUTTON 6 IN THE SCREENS!!! IGNORE IT! JUST MAKE 5 BUTTONS)
*Web Browser
*Text Box

Step three:

*Click button 1 and make the text: Back
*Do the same with button 2 but make it Forward
*Make button 3: Refresh
*Button 4: home
*Button 5: Go

Step four:

Name the form like you named the buttons

Step five:

Code the buttons by double clicking them.

Go button:

Code:

WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)

Back button:

Code:

WebBrowser1.GoBack()

Forward button:

Code:

WebBrowser1.GoForward()

Refresh button:

Code:

WebBrowser1.Refresh()

Home button:

Code:

WebBrowser1.GoHome()

Step six:

Click the 'Debug' button and start the browser.

Nice choob-friendly tut.
I couldn't do i better myself.

Nice guide. I have already made one, but using a video tut. I feel like making a full web browser, like Firefox, but it would probably be hard. Does anyone know how to make a toolbar for Mozilla Firefox? I really wanna know.

Go to Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client,
and search for a guide.

yeahh great work--

Thx.

Making the browser: 3-5 minutes.
Making the tutorial: 1> hour. xD

Couldn't imagine making a tutorial for an advanced email bomber... That tut would take hours. XD

5 Minutes later:

Wait.. Fuck. I made a mistake. (I confused the codes and buttons) Gonna fix it now. ^^
