Web Pages in a VB Window?
Bert T
Let me begin by saying I am a junior programer, but not a VB one. That said,
let me explain to you what I saw and what I'd like to do.
When you go to the start menu in vista, you find a label HELP & SUPPORT.
When you click on it a window appears. The window is just like a windows
regular windosw, but its contents are html.
I have a program that works fine as a web program, but I would like to
encapsulate it in a window, as a desktop application. Just like the HELP &
SUPPORT one. My question is: Can I recreate something like that with VB 6.0.
I know it works with forms, but can it create a window which you can brand
how ever you want, and that still communicate via php with MySQL. What
happens is that I don't want to have to recreate the whole program in a
language that I bearly know. I just like to encapsulate the pages.
Another thing. Can I set my own commands to the shortcut menu (right click).
Can I also communicate with the web pages using VB Controls?
Would you suggest that I use VB 6 or VB.NET in my project? I am equally
unfamiliar with both.
Where can I find info/code to help me implement all the above, to speed up
the learning curb and help me finish my project quickly and effectively.
As you can see, I am in the dark here, lol. Hope anyone can help me here.
In advance thanks a million for any info.
Bert
