I'm writing a little tool that I can use for the feedback of Fleabay.

I was wondering how do you open an IE window from within a form OR design a VFP form where part of the for is an IE of Firefox window.


Thanks
John
 
John,

You need to use the Microsoft Web Browser control, which is an ActiveX control that comes with Windows.

1. Drop an OLE Container object on the form.

2. Fron the Insert Object dialogue, choose Microsoft WebBrowser control.

3. To have the control display a particular web page, call its Navigate2 method, passing the URL or the fully-qualified path name of the HTML file as a parameter.

For more information, search the Microsoft site for documentation on the control.

Mike
