Gonewacko´s Internet Explorer Version 1.0

Post by GoneWacko »

Hi there ppl! I´m currently working on my own internet explorer :) I´m using Delphi Enterprise to create it, (it´s really more like an internet explorer component though ;()...

Currently It´s working but It´s not yet stable...

When I get better at making delphi stuff, I´ll make a programm that uses sockets and stuff like that, not some stupid component from Internet Explorer... That means that i´ll be creating my own browser some day!

I would like to know what you guys would like inside of the browser... like things that should have a shortcut, things that should be easier, etc.

EDIT: I´m not saying that you should download it when it´s done, but I wanna know what the people want :D

hehe to Combat:

I am actually starting to become... well... angry is not the word really... irritated neither... I don´t hate you, uhm... well... I just want to say that you always say stuff like ´been there done that´ or ´did it aeons ago´... That´s very nice of you, that you did, but it really is anoying to me. because instead of saying things like omni´s ´good luck´ (tnx, i´ll need it :d) you just do like that´s simple and everybody can do it etc. Hard to explain really... But it makes me feel bad... I am really pretty sucky at programming and I am happy with each idiotic useless program that I can create. You really make it hard for me to appriciate the small stuff...

to omni and the rest :

Tnx! It´ll be harder than I thought from the beginning because I have to define every HTML tag and define what actions should be taken when encountered :D

Instead of being irritated, you ask for the source code for his program :) Maybe he can´t give you any.

I gave up on programming a while ago. Because all I might program, would allready have been done, and probably better than I ever would do. But later on, when I studied, I found the source codes of those programs quite usefull, when learning programming.

Anyway, programming in visual basic is maybe not the way to go when programming a good browser. I can guess it´s pretty easy in Visual Basic. Just drag and drop the windows and tools you need and then set up a routine for connecting over tcp/ip.

To be honest, I doubt Combat have programmed all by himself without copying some other guys code or reading from a book. But you never know.

Good luck, GW! And let it be optimized for TT Forums :) If you get it working, I´d like to try it.

A tip though. Remember to put a lot of comments around. That makes it easier to understand later on, or for others.
