I've got a WebBrowser control sitting on a Form which has an irritating 2px inset-looking border around it. It's causing my content to be clipped by 4 px on the right and bottom, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. The control itself doesn't have any BorderStyle properties -- how does one remove the border?
See the red area in the screen shot:
I want the WebBrowser to look like the blue area -- that is, to fill the Form and be flush against the Form's edges.
IE draws that as part of the default style on the body tag. Set border:0px on the body element and it goes away.
Thankfully, this is going away in IE9.
I cannot reproduce the appearance you are telling about. My code in the Form1.Designer.cs is:
this.webBrowser1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.webBrowser1.MinimumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(20, 20);
this.webBrowser1.Name = "webBrowser1";
this.webBrowser1.ScrollBarsEnabled = false;
this.webBrowser1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(141, 125);
this.webBrowser1.TabIndex = 0;
this.webBrowser1.Uri = ....
and the webcontrol is shown without the border... I'm using VS 2008 SP1/Windows 7.
Maybe you should try to add the control inside a container, e.g. a panel.
WebBrowser control inherits display style from control class. If you want to control the border style of control, you can use code like that, e.g. in Form.Designer.cs:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class wbExt : System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser
{
private BorderStyle _borderStyle;
[
Category("Appearance"),
Description("The border style")
]
public BorderStyle BorderStyle
{
get
{
return _borderStyle;
}
set
{
_borderStyle = value;
this.RecreateHandle();
Invalidate();
}
}
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
const int WS_BORDER = 0x00800000;
const int WS_EX_STATICEDGE = 0x00020000;
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
switch (_borderStyle)
{
case BorderStyle.FixedSingle:
cp.Style |= WS_BORDER;
break;
case BorderStyle.Fixed3D:
cp.ExStyle |= WS_EX_STATICEDGE;
break;
}
return cp;
}
}
public wbExt()
{
}
}
Now you can change generated code in Form class.
private wbExt webBrowser1;and rewrite creation of webBrowser item in InitializeComponent of form, like that:
this.webBrowser1 = new WindowsFormsApplication1.wbExt();webBrowser1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;I have resolved the same problem by adding border:none; style attribute into the html element.
<html style="border:none;">
First I tried to add it into the body element but It didn't work, but it works on root html element.
The IE version used on Windows XP for WebBrowser object - I think the version 6 - interprets the root html element as having a border by default. If you have direct control over the web page displayed in the WebBrowser, you can add a style attribute directly to the HTML source of the page - as I did -, If not, There should be a way to edit the HTML inside the WebBrowser programmatically on the side of your application.
