I m using vb.net 2005. I create two panels in the window form.how can i display the firefox browser in one panel?

That would be a very hard thing to code, if possible at all.

If you are looking to be able to browse the web in your application, then consider using the WebBrowser control. It's a lot easier than trying to code firefox into your application. It is essencially IE, so if you need firefox for a reason instead of IE, you could run firefox by using the shell command:

Dim StartFF = System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(StartFF + "\FF.exe")

Unless there is some way of adding firefox as a control

EDIT: What if Firefox isn't installed on the computer you run the program on? Pretty much every Windows computer has a version of IE built in to it.

do you want to make a wb with firefox's engine , then you should look up onto geckofx, additional info about geckofx can be found on: Mozilla

You could just run firefox as an MDI child in your form. Not sure if it would work though :S It does with notepad & mspaint....

pple are making browsers here on dic, could just tag along. check the share ur projects area

Ok you can call the activex control for firefox as a reference but it will be alot of work. I say just call fire fox as a midichild there is another post about that already, or you can code it which depending on what your going to do might be a good idea.

Yep, have a look into the code for MDI Child forms etc. Unless you are prepared to spend loaaadss of time on this it wont work.
