Displaying Web Pages within VB

Hi All,

I have an application that displays data and pages which includes Hyperlinks. When the user clicks the link it opens an Instance of MS IE and displays the page.

This is the problem because the user is then able to type in a URL into the address bar and use the internet for non work related use.

So can I stop them using the Address bar when the IE window is opened or an even better solution is that I display the Web Page within my VB application and solve the problem.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Can you not diasble certain applications on certain computers, pending you have admin rights? If so, you should be able to disable from browsing the internet with that. You can also adjust settings in your Tools, Internet Options, Advanced options. Hope that works

Tries that but because these are idustrial PC and they don't work exactly lick a normal PC (Basically big Siemens things attached to a machine!!) and we don't have full admin rights to the machine as we are not the original machine builder. They want a fortune to allow the customer to have full assess rights and thus us. (pissed that we got the project over them!!)

So we have to find a work around and thus my problem...

But thanks anyway.

You can make your own web display page using the MS webbrowser control. In the msdn documentation somewhere is an example of how to write your own basic browser with whatever features you want to provide.
