About

MGSolids WebBrowser is once again my first attempt to overrun FireFox, I.E, Opera, and any other web browser.

To start with, if you have any installed web browsers, such as firefox, it will use that as it's default web browser, however what makes this programe amazing is, if you do not have any installed web browsers, it becomes it's own browser, just like firefox, so it doesn't have to share with other browsers.

Second off, I use the internet alot, and I need to view several pages without having to minimize and open all the time, so I have created a cool 'Tab' that you can click on, to add a new tab for a new web page.

Third, I have created a cool layout, on the left hand side is a menu where you can select to disable pop-up's, find on webpage etc...

I have added a google search box as well....

This is my final release of the browser, which I hope you will enjoy.

- MGSolids

If you have 'no' browsers installed, are you sure it doesn't use IE?

No, if you uninstall Ie it becomes it's own browser.

What it does, as I have said is picks up on any installed browsers and uses it.

It's not got anything to do with BlueGUI.

How can it be its own browser if you did not code an HTML parser? That means its relying on another browser's code for instructions on how to read/interpret HTML code, and if that browser were to be removed, it would not work.

screenshot not found.. This sounds like you've just made a few plugins for the browser. Why not just make the plugins for Firefox?

No; You see, Microsoft development tools (.NET, VC++, VB) allow you to insert an 'embedded' browser window. Effectively, it's a white box that gives you functions like 'Browser1.Navigate 'webaddress'', 'Browser1.Back()', etc.

However, there is no built-in tabs functionality, no built-in address bar, and it's just a white box. Everything apart from the actual HTML parser would be his own work.

What language was this done in? If it wasn't done in a TGC product then it'll have to be moved to the Programming Chat forum.

Doesn't it still require IE?

Hello guys, didn't really bother checking this post after a long time.

Sorry the pic was deleted when I created my new website, I installed a load of stuff and stuff like that..

Also just to point this out, as you guys still don't seem to get it, let me make it simple for you:

"This Browser can run independently on any Windows system no matter if you have a browser besides mine installed or not"

It's not bluegui, it's not darkbasic

You do realise, that the components that this utilises are effectively IE, right? Most of IE is installed directly into system32\ (winnet.dll for example), so when you 'remove' IE, you don't remove IE at all (Windows Me nd above require IE components to run). This browser makes use of these components; and is therefore making use of IE.

So this is just an IE parser window in a box.

Just to prove my point;

You wouldn't get this automatic message (shown below) if you weren't using IE components;



This is not a browser

That's what I was trying to say...

However, if you're going to say that that's not a browser, then neither is anything in the Mozilla family; They all use the (admidettly their own) Gekko HTML parser.

The difference between Internet Explorer and 'MGSolids Browser' is essentially the same difference as between the Mozilla Suite and Mozilla Firefox.

Why should it matter what components the browser uses, when the important topic is its effectiveness and usefulness?
