Programmatically activating a hyperlink

[michael_green]

Hi All,

I would like to be able to activate a hyperlink programmatically so that new users of my application can register their use of a piece of third party freeware. Can this be done?

Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.

This seems to work, although you may want to look for a registry entry to find the browser location instead of hard coding it ...

CALL SYSTEMQQ ('"c:program filesinternet exploreriexplore.exe" www.google.com.au')

No please. Use ShellExecute instead. See Steve's article about it.

do you still have access toshellexecute.f90? It appears to have got lost from Steve's posting.

I'll restore it in the morning.

If you want more flexibility you can use HlinkSimpleNavigateToString.
This allows you to specify a location within the hyperlink target and a target frame.
