So, I finally got VB working.

And, I'm trying this tutorial:
[VB6] Creating your first VB program

Well, when I get to the second to last step, where I have to put this in:

Code:

WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.gaiaonline.com")

(I subbed in my own url instead of neopets.)

I put that in so it looks like this:

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click (WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.gaiaonline.com"))

When I press F5, I get this error:

Anyone know why?

Put

Quote:

Private Sub Command1_Click
(WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.gaiaonline.com"))

It should be on the next line down.. try that

If that doesn't work try

Quote:

Private Sub Command1_Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.gaiaonline.com"

I would help more but my VB web tools are nto working so i'm just re-installing them?

Thanks, but I actually fixed it.
Turns out it was supposed to be this:

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.gaiaonline.com")
End Sub

But, now I have a second question...

What the hell is a HTTPWrapper, and how do I add one in my form?

I'm not entirly sure what one is as i'm a beginner at VB too even thought i have been doing it almost 2 years ROFL!

I think it's whats used to diaply a webpage in a VB program i have never used this as my Microsoft web tools dll. doesn;t work :( Try google it always has the answers :O

Well, I know that's not what it is.
The WebBrowser is for that.

I read up on it through Google.
I have a slightly better understanding of what it is, but I'm still confused...

I know that it's a module(?) used to go to a link(?).
At least that's what I found.
Or something LIKE that.

As for where to find it/how to insert it into the form...I'm clueless...

HTTPwrapper is... what its called.. :P its a HTTPwrapper. Its just a simplified version of winsock control. It does all the hard work for you. SO basically you tell it to navigate to a site and it downloads the contents into a string.
