On my form, I have a field that displays the student's website. How do I
display thewebsite as a hyperlink in a textbox where the user can click on
it and Internet Explorer opens up the site?
12  8093 
If that's all that's in that textbox, then the solution is simple... just
set up
a CLICK event on the textbox, that passes it's contents to a SHELLEXECUTE
API call. Over here, I have this API call pre-defined as "runfile" in a
module called "shellexec" , so in this situation, I would only need to do...
Private Sub Text1_Click()
ShellExec.RunFi le Text1.Text
End Sub

Thank you for your help.
I accomplished my task with the following:
Shell("c:\progr am files\internet explorer\iexplo re.exe " & lblLink.Caption ,

It might be an idea to programatically find the file name and location
of the default browser
The API FindExecutable( ) is useful for that
I used the following code:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
Lib "shell32.dl l" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) _
As Long
Private Sub lbl_Link_Click( )
Dim r As Long
r = ShellExecute(0, "open", lbl_Link.Captio n,0, 0, 1)
End Sub

Yes, that is fine - provided one small thing ....
That you are sure that ShellExecute will recognize the 'file' that you
are sending it
Having to launch a browser to try to go to all sorts of dubiously
formatted web addresses, I opt for finding the App's name and then
launching it myself
That way I am sure a Browser will get launched ...
Think about it for a bit ...
- I spent some time worrying over the problem
Of course FindExecutable is fundamentally faulty, as it might launch a
DDE server - and also (stupidly) needs an existing file
- but give it c:\temp\dummy.h tm and it comes back with a browser
- the other (safe) method is to ponce around in the registry looking
for the file associated with 'htm'
- having nailed that down once, I don't like using it

=============== =====
I recently had to solve this problem. It is different for Windows
95,98,ME and Windows NT,2000,XP. Here is a cross-system solution.
Place a "Microsoft SysInfo control" on your form. Set the "label"
field that displays the web site URL to be underlined in the Font
attribute, set the MousePointer attribute to 99 (custom), and set the
MouseIcon to HAND-M.CUR (it is normally in the /windows/cursors
directory, I attached it). This will cause the web hand to show when
the cursor is placed over the label that has the web link.
' The declaration below goes in a Module1.bas file
' execute shell command
Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dl l" _
Alias "ShellExecu teA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As
String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
' This is the code to launch the browser (It assumes that
' the form with the SysInfo control is frmMain
Private Sub Label5_Click()
Dim rcu As Long
Dim URL As String
' ShellExecute defined in Module1.bas
URL = "http://www.yahoo.com/" ' or whatever
If frmMain.SysInfo 1.OSPlatform = 2 Then
' OSPlatform = 2 for Win NT/2000/XP
Call ShellExecute(Me .hwnd, "open", URL, "", "", 0)
Else
' OSPlatform = 1 for Win 95/98/ME
rcu = Shell("start " & URL, vbNormalFocus)
End If
End Sub
Iexplorer.exe is not the only browser out there.
I think one should try to locate the browser associated with the htm files,
as you say. However I dont I dont know how :-)

1) ShellExecute() finds and runs the browser
2) FindExecutable( ) finds the browser - you need to run it (good)
3) Peer into the Registry - Ok - but can be tedious This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
