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">

</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

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

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?

Launch/close Program For Another Program
I help out at a Boys & Girls Club in their computer lab. They recently got a copy of Sim City 3000 donated, but this program is having issues with their Windows XP OS. If you go here, "SimCity 3000 restarts spontaneously when exiting", you can see the problem we are encountering. I was wondering if writing a small program to launch SimCity 3000, then catch it when it exits and force it to close down programmatically is possible? If so, how difficult would it be? I assume it would require several various API calls.

Launch One Program To From Another
Hi everyone !
Here is what I am trying to do :

I am building an application ( App1 ) . There is a button in this application that will have to open another program made by me ( App2 ). I know the Shell/ShellExecute method along with retrieving Command when opening from an associated file, but this time, I think it will not do it.
I need to pass a parameter from App1 to App2, not only opening it...
Somebody has a clear idea on how I should proceed ?
While I am here, somebody knows, when I launch an associated file, how to avoid to launch a second occurence of my app if it is already opened, just adding the file to the current opened application ?
Thanx a lot

Launch A Running Program
Hello all...

I have a weird request.

I need to do something with an application that is already running in the systray.

I would like to create a utility that can look in the systray and if "programB" is running then bring it up on the screen.

If this can be done, can this also been accomplished. There is a "Transfer Now" button on the front of "programB" and I would like to perform the click on this button if the program can in fact be brought up from the systray.

To do this manually with a mouse the user would double-click the icon in the systray and then click transfer now. So I would like to do the manual steps automatically with a little utility.

Any ideas.

How To Launch Program After Installation Using PDW?
Hi All

I have a project I have written in VB6 that I am deploying in Package and
Deployment Wizard. I have hacked the setup1.vbp and produced a couple of
customised features such as license agreement forms etc.

I am having trouble with writing code that launches the installed program after
setup?
At the end of the installation I want a message box that asks the user if
they want to launch the newly installed program.

Does anyone know how I would change the frmSetup1.frm to do this and launch
the new program?

Thanks Steven

Launch My Program When Windows Starts Up
No, its not like all the other questions you find here (well, it may, but I couldn't find any)

Im making sort of setup program that begins in DOS, then it starts windows, and then it continues in windows (or another program runs when windows is ready) I know you have the Run registry folder, but its only once it has to run, and besides, I have to do this in DOS. Isn't there anywhere a parameter I can set in DOS so Windows knows it has to run a certain program when it is started up and then delete this parameter so it only runs once?

Thanks,

Search Cd Roms And Launch A Program
Hi I have this VBScript that will search through all of the cd-roms on the computer to find a file. Once that file is found it creates a variable for the drive letter so i can lauch other programs using the variable.

This is my script:

Dim fs, d, dc, fileToSearch, driveLetter
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set dc = fs.Drives

fileToSearch = "setup.exe"

For Each d in dc
if d.DriveType = 4 then
if fs.FileExists(d.Path + "" + fileToSearch) then
driveLetter = d.DriveLetter
exit for
end if
end if
Next

What i want to know is, say the drive with the disk in is F:. How do i launch a program using the variable. For instance in ms dos batch i could have used the %cdrom% variable. whats the VBscript alternative.

I hope this makes sense. if not i can rephrase it for you.

many thanks.

Editing The Registry To Launch My Program At Startup?
I know I need to use the win API of sorts to create a registry key to launch my program with windows. It's just basically my own personal little launch center... And rather than using the startup section (where my GF can delete the link - as she often does for no apparent reason) I'd like to have it in the registry where it will still come up but she will be sure not to find it =)

Thanks
