Default website for Gecko object?

Hi, does Gecko have a default website option? I cannot see one in the available options.
I tried WebBrowser.Navigate(url) after Xpcom.Initialize but this complains that it cannot navigate before initializing.

Thanks.

Re: Default website for Gecko object?

This code works for me:

Code:

        public Form1()
        {
            string strCurrentDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

            Skybound.Gecko.Xpcom.Initialize(strCurrentDir);

            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            geckoWebBrowser1.Navigate("google.es");
        }

I just created a form in C# and added the control to the page.
If you want to navigate without a form it is gone to be more difficult than that.

Re: Default website for Gecko object?

Hi Cristian, thats what I'm using at the moment - I want Gecko to load a default page rather than about:blank when initialized - I'm writing a dll that does'nt use forms so cannot use form load event.

Is there any settings in the xml\config files to default a 'home' page? Can I pass a url during initialization?

Thanks!
