Problem using WebBrowser1 to navigate to a set page, and use controls on flv players

[azwebs]

I have used VB.NET to create a program with a WebBrowser control, which accesses a static page on my web server, in essence, a program to view a specific website, and only navigate to the links provided. It is a media viewer. The problem is that when the browser navigates to a page with an embedded flv player, via the links, you can click to play the video, but to click the pause button, you must click the background and then click the button.

I have tried this out by directing the program to YouTube, and the flv players there do not work either. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or solutions for me. I have the project here, on my server. It was coded in VB.NET (Visual Basic 2005 Express Editions), using the visual coding interface, because it was easier and quicker for this project. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful if you could share them.

There is also a project in C# with the same problem, and that project installer (but not the source), can be located here. I assume this is put in so that Microsoft can prevent people from creating fully fledged browsers using their software. If there is a way around this problem, or something I am just doing wrong, please let me know!

You can email me at XXXXXX if you need to contact me. Thanks in advance.

heheheh It's a bug, see thread: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=11548
I haven't tried the workaround of post 10, maybe you can test it and give feedback?
