hi guys....
i created a simple web browser with a tool strip and web browser and written code and it is working fine and
what happening is when i click on home button. it was going to the home page which was set in internet explorer... it was fine, but what i want is when i click home button the text field, which i used to enter url also should change,
for example when i type www.facebook.com it was navigating to facebook and later onward the text in the text box was not changing and if we click any of the button like back, forward, home. the text in the textbox should be changed resepective to the webbrowser's url...
the code for that is...

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace web_browser
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void toolStripButton6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.Navigate(toolStripTextBox1.Text);
        }

        private void toolStripButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.GoBack();
//here the toolstrip text box should display the previous web page url instead of typed one//
       }

        private void toolStripButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.GoForward();

//here the toolstrip texbox should display the next page url instead of typed one..

        }

        private void toolStripButton3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.Refresh();
        }

        private void toolStripButton4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.Stop();

        }

        private void toolStripButton5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            webBrowser1.GoHome();
// here the toolstrip textbox should get the url of the home page instead of the typed one//
        }


    }
}

Hi,

You can use KeyPress event of textbox to navigate, on keypress event you will get which key has been pressed if the key is Enter then navigate to written URL

For KeyPress : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.keypress(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

Second there is a event of WebBrowser named OnNavigated you can use it to get the URL where your browser is navigating and set taht to your textbox.

Web Browser Events : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

OnNavigated : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.onnavigated(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

Thanks

Solution 2

you can use WebBrowser.Navigating Event[^] and set the URL to TextBox

C#

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    webBrowser1.Navigating += 
    new WebBrowserNavigatingEventHandler(webBrowser1_Navigating);
}
private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender, 
    WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
    TextBox1.Text =e.Url.ToString();
}
