How do I open an non local webpage in IE from VC++ program?

subject says it all. I know how to open one when it's on a local directory but how do I open IE and send them to an address? =====================

try this :

HINSTANCE result = ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open&quot, _T("

http://your_url_here"),

NULL,NULL, SW_SHOW);

unfortunately I tried just pasting that in without luck.. It doesn't compile so maybe there a error in the code.

2nd I don't really understand what the code does... So I can't begin to debug it.


To open a file (html) locally I use:

ShellExecute( 0, "open", outfile, NULL, outfile, 0 );

Where outfile is the location my file is sitting at.

Thanks again for your help.

yah.... maybe I should have tried my code using nothing more than my old code with the new varible =-)

this worked

ShellExecute( 0, "open", URL, NULL, URL, 0 );

where URL is the location of the current URL =====================

You can use COM. The IE IDispatch interface has the method Navigate2. Ion Filipski
