Run up Internet Explorer with a URL

[LucieLastic]

hi

I can run Internet Explorer using CreateProcess but how can I pass a URL to it (in the var Exeline) so it displays a specific web page when it's run?

Exeline := 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE';

if not CreateProcess(Pchar(exeline), nil,nil,nil,false,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil,nil,Startupinfo, processinfo) then ...

many thanks for help

Hey Lou,

You could include ShellApi in your Uses list and use:

ShellExecute(Handle, 'Open', '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com',[/URL] nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Hope this helps!

You can also do this with ActiveX/COM, which will give
you control over a lot more of IE's features/settings...
