How to open .htm file in new browser? 1

[hstijnen]

Hi,

I'd like to open a htm file from my CBuilder app. I use the following statement:

ShellExecute(NULL
,"open"
,"file://server_IP/path/test.htm"
,""
,""
,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

It opens indeed the file. However, when I have a browser opened it opens the file in that browser. How can I force to open it in a new browser?

Thanks for help,

Regards, Henk

Don't open the URL directly. With ShellExecute() run browser's .exe and pass the URL as the parameter.

 ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "[Browser's .exe]", "[URL]", "", SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
