How to open Internet Explorer via automation

by  Mike Gagnon  Posted    (Edited  )
Two methods to surf the internet within VFP (the second method is more restrictive)

Code: 
#1 
LOCAL loHyperlink
loHyperlink = CREATEOBJECT("hyperlink")
loHyperlink.navigateto("www.yourdomain.com")
______________________________________________________
#2
Code: 
Public   lcUrl
lcUrl = "www.yourdomain.com"
oform = Createobject("Explorer")
oform.AddObject("iExp","iExp")
oform.iExp.Height = oform.Height-1
oform.iExp.Width = oform.Width-1
oform.iExp.Navigate(lcUrl)
oform.Show()
Define Class Explorer As Form
    Autocenter = .t.
	Height = 600
	Width = 800
	Caption = "Navigate the Internet"
Enddefine
Define Class iExp As OleControl
	OleClass = "Shell.Explorer"
	Procedure Refresh
	Nodefault
Endproc
Visible = .T.
Enddefine
