How to enable "Caret Browsing" functionality in WebBrowser control in C# or VB.NET

Question

Hi,

I have IE 8 installed on my machine; and trying to integrate the "Caret Browsing" (navigation using Keyboard) concept into application which i am planning to develop.

My sample application in VB.NET as follows:

1. A Form - Form1
2. A Text box - TextBox1
3. A Button - Button1
4. A WebBrowser control - WebBrowser1

Added following line of code

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text.Trim())
End Sub

While running the application; if I click on F7 I am not seeing the message box of IE saying that "Are you want to enable Caret Browsing feature"?

Where as I was getting the same confirmation, if I click the same in IE 8 browser...

Does WebBrowser control have any limitations?

Any Work around to achieve the same?

Try this example from CodeProject. It gives you more access to web browser features.
