Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GoHome method to implement a Home button for the WebBrowser control similar to the one in Internet Explorer. This example requires that your form contains a WebBrowser control called webBrowser1 and a Button control called ButtonHome.

For the complete code example, see How to: Add Web Browser Capabilities to a Windows Forms Application.

// Navigates WebBrowser1 to the home page of the current user.
void ButtonHome_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
   this->WebBrowser1->GoHome();
}
// Navigates webBrowser1 to the home page of the current user.
private void homeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webBrowser1.GoHome();
}
' Navigates webBrowser1 to the home page of the current user.
Private Sub homeButton_Click( _
    ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles homeButton.Click

    webBrowser1.GoHome()

End Sub

Remarks

You can use this method to implement a Home button similar to the one in Internet Explorer. The user can specify a home page in the Internet Options dialog box, which is available from Control Panel or from the Tools menu in Internet Explorer.
