[Help Request]Read-Only Webbrowser

Hey everyone, is there anyway I can make a webbrowser "read only" ?

*Ps, got the subject wrong lol

Hmm..
I dont think thats possible.

humm...ok then.

Thank you anyway!

if by read only u mean like just the web source sure it is...

make an invisible webbrowser make the place where u want the source to be shown(a textbox or rtb or w/e) make a text box and have it say "Url" as in like the site that u want the source from.
(sorry if i misunderstood ur post it wouldn't be the first time i have misunderstood a post)

If you mean that you want the browser not to navigate without your permission then its possible with a little trick.

You can use:

Wb.AllowNavigation = false

to disable navigation. But the problem is that it works only when the current navigation is completed. To fix it, hide the browser while the page is navigating.

Code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Botting code here.... blah blah
        wb.Navigate("http://www.mpgh.net/forum/33-visual-basics/")
    End Sub

Private Sub wb_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles wb.DocumentCompleted
        wb.AllowNavigation = False

        wb.Visible = True

    End Sub

    Private Sub wb_Navigating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) Handles wb.Navigating
        wb.Visible = False

    End Sub

Not a good way but can be helpful !!

PS: Use Gecko engine instead of IE, IE sucks so badly !! Also I am sure Gecko would provide read-only functionality !!

By gecko engine I think you're talking about firefox, and by IE Internet explorer.I use firefox and sometimes chrome...but why are you saying this?because of the login part I wrote?

About the code, it worked, thank you

But what's Gecko?
A web browser? A developers toolkit or something, didn't get it o.0

Gecko is the engine that FireFox runs on.

It can be downloaded as an API (for most .NET capable languages I think) here:
