First, I know of no HTML Editor that sends the HTML you type to the browser when you click a button, they do, however, provide a "Preview In Browser" option.
Second, VB 2008 is VB.Net so I'm moving this to the proper forum
Third, Are you looking to create an application like EditPlus2, Dreamweaver(type), Notepad++, etc??
yes i do mean preview in browser thx for clearing that up i didnt realy know wat to say there lol

and have u ever used the Web Developer add on for firefox i kinda wanted it to do wat the html editor does when u visit a page it shows the html on the bottom and u can edit it can u answer my questions here or do u want me to move this to the proper forum first?

Don't worry about it Andrew, when you're new to the forum world is can take some getting used to. As far as deleting your posts, I don't believe there is a way to delete the post, Moderators and Team Members (Admin) can remove posts, but unless its offensive, illegal or breaks forum rules I wouldn't ask them to remove it, they're awful busy most of the time.
I know at times it can get frustrating waiting for a reply to a post, but remember, all of us have full lives with jobs (or school), families and such so at times it can take a little time to get a response.
I have been looking through some of my code, and some online searches for you to nudge you in the right direction but all my stuff is ASP.Net, not like a Windows Application. I do know you need to use a RichTextBox if you want font formatting, like you get in most editors.
Ill do some more looking, but be patient with me ok
Based on your initial post, you said you have a very little knowledge of VB. The project you are asking about it is going to require quite a bit of knowledge to accomplish what you want.
As, PsychoCoder already mentioned you will use a RichTextBox as the code window. This will allow you to apply formatting and syntax highlighting to the code. The preview window also will be fairly easy to implement, you will use the WebBrowser control. With the web browser control you will assign the code from the code window using the DocumentText property which will take a string.
Here is an example:
CODE
Dim htmlCode As String
'start concatenating the HTML code into one string htmlCode = "<html><body style='background:#4A6751; color:#E1E1E1'><h3>Sampe page</h3><br/>Some sample text to display</body></html>"
'pass the HTML string to the WebBrowser control for display Me.WebBrowser1.DocumentText = htmlCode
The most difficult task will be creating the WYSIWYG window. You will have to implement a User Control that will allow you to drop other controls onto it. Basically the control will be a container and naturally it will have to generate the code in the code window when a control is dropped onto it.
I would suggest reading up on the RichTextBox control and the WebBrowser control and start with those two. Once you are able to get those two features working you will have some knowledge to begin tackling the most difficult task.
And you will always have us here at DIC to help you along when you need it.
ok phycocoder first of all thx for helping me so much and i think i get it a little better with the richtextbox
and jayman9 thx for the code that realy helped i kinda understand it can u tell me wat the Me. is is it like saying form1.

OMG LOL I JUST TRIED IT TY SO MUCH THE DOCUMENT.TEXT PART FOR WEBBROWSER1 REALY HELPED THIS IS WAT I CAME UP WIT
Public Class Form1 Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click WebBrowser1.DocumentText = richtextbox1.Text End Sub End Class
