[VB6] WebBrowser Control Location

[TimRogers]

I want to set the location my web browser control is at load, but I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried to put in the form load:

WebBrowser1.LocationURL = http://www.tim-rogers.co.uk

but it dosen't work. How can I do it?

Now I have worked out that I need to use WebBrowser1.Navigate, but what is the syntax? I tried to use it but I couldn't work it out :p

I've been digging around for something similar for my project and found something. THough i have no idea how to make it myself, just know that it works :p

'open web browser
Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Public Sub RunBrowser(strURL As String, iWindowStyle As Integer, fH As Long)
	Dim lSuccess As Long
	'-- Shell to default browser
	lSuccess = ShellExecute(fH, "Open", strURL, 0&, 0&, iWindowStyle)
End Sub

put that into a module

and to call it you put

Call RunBrowser("insert link here without the "" ", 10, 1)

edit: Oh your using a control...scrap what i just wrote above then....

That won't work for me. I just want the WebBrowser control in my form to go to a URL when the form opens :p

WebBrowser1.Navigate (www.bbc.co.uk)

Won't work.
