Adding the Code

Double-click the Go! button to create a Click event handler and open the code view. Add the following code which causes the WebKitBrowser to navigate to the Url in our textbox when the button is clicked:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webKitBrowser1.Navigate(textBox1.Text);
}

In the constructor for Form1, add the following code to create handlers for the form load and browser navigation events:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.Load += new EventHandler(Form1_Load);
    this.webKitBrowser1.Navigated += 
        new WebBrowserNavigatedEventHandler(webKitBrowser1_Navigated);
}

Add the following event handlers. When the form is loaded, we set the browser to display an obligitory 'Hello World' message. When the browser navigates to a new page, we update the contents of the textbox to reflect the new location:

void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webKitBrowser1.DocumentText =
        "<h1><a href=\"http://google.com\">Hello, World!</a></h1>";
}

void webKitBrowser1_Navigated(object sender, 
    WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Text = webKitBrowser1.Url.ToString();
}
