How to invoke a browser in Axapta?

fred_shen

I would like to know in Axatpa, how to invoke the IE or Navigator? Could anyone show me the code? Thanks in advance!

If your are MorphX programmer, you can watch the code on the place, where the IE is called.
For example Contacts.

Hi,

See whether this helps. -

static void IExplore(Args _args)
{
#WINAPI
;

WINAPI::shellExecute(C:\\WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\\i386\\iexplore.exe');
}

Thank you!
But if I want to invoke IE with a certain specified URL?

Hi,

You can use WinAPI::ShellExecute() again. Like -

static void IExplore(Args _args)
{
#winAPI
;

winAPI::shellExecute('C:\\WINDOWS\\ServicePackFiles\\i386\\iexplore.exe','http://www.mibuso.com');
}

Hi!

I always use this format:

winAPI::shellExecute('http://www.mibuso.com');

My reason behind this is simply because this allows the shell to work out how it's going to deal with the URL, rather than passing it to a program. For example, if the path to iexplore changes, or if the user has a different browser installed. This keeps your code fairly "future proof" and lowers code maintenance.

Cheers!
