Launch Default Browser (IE) In W2K?
How do I launch the Default browser to a specific URL in W2K?
is it the same as win98?
Thanks....
I think this is the code right? but I would have to change the Pathoffile.txt to a URL right?
VB Code:
Private Declare Function ShellEx Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _ "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _ ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As Any, _ ByVal lpDirectory As Any, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim x x = ShellEx(Form1.hwnd, "open", PathOfFile.txt, "", "", 1) End Sub

Launch The Default Browser Within Vb6
I have read all the posts about launching browsers but there is one thing missing in all these posts: They assume that IE is the default browser and is in a specific location.
Is there anyway to launch the default browser and not have to assume that the user has installed it in a specific location with a specific webpage (URL) loaded?
My guess is that this might be an API call.
Thanks in advance
Launch (new Instance Of) Default Browser For Specific Url
I'm using the following code to launch the default browser:
vb Code:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpszOp As String, ByVal lpszFile As String, ByVal lpszParams As String, ByVal lpszDir As String, ByVal FsShowCmd As Long) As Long ' Launch default browserPublic Sub LaunchBrowser(ByVal URL As String) ShellExecute 0&, vbNullString, URL, vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocusEnd Sub
Works great, except that it cannibalizes an existing instance of the default browser if any are already open.
I'd rather it always force a new instance. Any ideas?

How To Launch An Exe From The Browser ?
hi,
I have written an Activex DLL and packed it as Cab file and marked it as safe for scripting. This will be launched from the webbrowser as follows :
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Chatroom.CAB</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<OBJECT ID="ChatTest"
CLASSID="CLSID:D02F7572-AED3-4F80-A58A-213C3A60BC91"
CODEBASE="Chatroom.CAB#version=1,0,0,0">
</OBJECT>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.ChatTest.LaunchRoom();
//-->
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
So, This cab file consists of dependencies of this activex as well as a EXE file name a.exe.
the LaunchRoom function in Activex is supposed to launch that a.exe.
But where this file will be saved, when activex is installed from browser ?
what is the default path for it ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards

ShellExecute Won't Launch Browser
Hi, I'm having a strange problem with ShellExecute. It works fine on my computer, but it doesn't work on another computer when trying to open a website with the default browser.
Both of them work fine on my computer.
vb Code:
ShellExecute 0, "Open", App.Path & "Help.chm", vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus ShellExecute 0, "Open", "http://www.google.com", vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus
This one works fine on another (test) computer.
vb Code:
ShellExecute 0, "Open", App.Path & "Help.chm", vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus
This one doesn't work on the other computer.
vb Code:
ShellExecute 0, "Open", "http://www.google.com", vbNullString, vbNullString, vbNormalFocus
The computer where both ShellExecutes are working fine is running an English version of XP SP2, the other computer is running a Dutch version of XP SP2.
Any idea?

Launch New(second)Browser Window
Hello
I have a webbrowser control in my app that navigates to a sight when opened.
What I would like to be able to do is have a button that opens a second window to a different address and keeps the first window open on it's original page.
Is this possible to do with the webbrowser control?
I've tried using the show method but that just navigates the same window to the new address.
Thanks

Another Browser Launch Program (different Scenario)
ok, I have been reviewing the other questions regarding browser launching, but those scenarios were different than what i needed.
1. I am using a rich text box*.
2. This RTB* is not specifically used to type in URLs. There will be other things contained in the same box as well (this program is kinda like a wordpad program.)
but when a URL is typed, VB.net already shows it as a URL, so when it is clicked, i need it to launch a browser.
3. I would also Like it to launch the default browser, as i use firefox while my friends are still in the IE era.
4. Instead of reusing any browsers that are already opened, i need it to open a fresh window each time.
When researching this question, #2 was always the thing that got in the way.
any suggestions?

How Do I Make My Form Auto-close After Clicking A Button To Launch Default Email-client?
This is my 3rd query within a couple of weeks, so I hope I'm not overdoing it ... but can anyone help me with the following problem:
I have a simple form with a button on it, which when clicked, launches the user's default email-client. All works well ... but I would like the main form to auto-close, when the default email-client opens. Does anyone know how I can modify my code to achieve this? The code I'm using to launch the email-client is set out below:
