Launching Browser

[pmravdin]

I am a beginning programmer and have written some applications that I would like to have the user be able to have launch the users browser (what ever is their default browser) and go to a specified URL by clicking a button on the form. (so that they can view updated information at that site). Could someone be so kind as to give me a code snippet that will do this. I have looked at the help files and book and I can not figure this out. Thanks for your help.

Try this snippet:
ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', PChar('

http://www.borland.com'),

'', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL);

PS. Don't forget to add ShellAPI in the uses clause...
