Inventory Web Browser

This might be a dumb question but I'd like to use the Web Browser in inventory maintenance.
Where do I enter the URL?
And then how do I get the Web Browser tab to display that URL?

I thought it might have something to do with the Web Browser plugin but I glanced thru the code and couldn't see anything related specifically to Inventory Maintenance.

That plugin is a sample for a new form you add to the menu and navigates to http://www.jiwa.com.au - as can be seen on line 147:

Code: Select all
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.jiwa.com.au", False)


You could adapt that to be a tab on inventory maintenance, and have it navigate to a URL stored in a field easily enough.

Ok - After reading this again, I see you're talking about the web browser tab of inventory maintenance.

There is a plugin, "Inventory Web Tab" which adds a URL field.
You enter the URL on the tab... above the browser control, in the field labelled "URL"...

Or you can do your own plugin, much as the "Inventory Web Tab" does and interact with the WebBrowser1 control of the form and use the WebBrowser1.Navigate method.
