Hi Guys Smiley Here

I was wondering if anyone could help me stop my application's UI from freezing when a web browser loads a web page, any suggestions? cooll;

Well is double buffer on and if so may I be slightly insulting and
say it could just be your code, I my self have put so much code
in one event that it just cant handle it on my PC so try putting things
into functions and adding checks to see if they need to run and on excute them should they need to.

I would sugest checking your document load event as this is the spot that is probally a problem if its a browser and it boots fine if it crashes on boot try looking at form load event as well


But at the moment this is all guessing work of things I would look at until we get more info I can help maybe some info on what your application is and what its doing and maybe some code or any errors that might come up

It is freezing because it is not asynchronous.
Use async methods or try to set up new thread for browser.

I think the web browser control is already async but still freezes up the UI when loading some pages. I had this problem when I was making some programs that used the web browser and never managed to find a solution to it so I think you're stuck with it freezing.

If there is a solution I would also like to know what it is dunnno;

Ok then. Another reason is that it could resolve website address.

Also don't you whant to use some other web control? Like Gecko or Chromium?

Hi muttley1968

Im not sure if you can double buffer a webbrowser if you can i would be interested in learning that but the form was double buffered and that didn't do anything, its not an individual application i have noticed this ever since i started using webbrowsers in offBeat and could not find a fix anywhere for the freeze.

Thanks for the suggestions, Smiley cooll;

Hi Ffenixw0rks

I found many different methods of threading a webbrowsers events if that what you mean, unfortunately none of them worked.
I would love to use another webbrowser control but only for a full webbrowser application, increasing the size of a small application by 50mb or so just to reduce a few seconds of lag would be a waste of space

Thanks for the help, I'm very interested in that chromium control cooll;

Yeah Microsoft has really neglected the webbrowser control i generally use webclients but sometimes i need to load the page in a webbrowser. cooll;
