How to open URL from a custon menu.

[tombirch]

Hi
I want to add a menu item to my custom menubar that opens a webpage.
Does anyone know the code to do this?

Regards
Tom

Hi,

I think you can call the shell function from your menu item's click event to launch your navigator with the webpage file as a commandline argument. If it is just the URL then perhaps SendKeys will do the trick once the navigator is opened.

Have a good one!

Thanks for your advice.
I have tried using the shell function but I don't know the path for the browser for all the PCs the database will be used on.
Is there a way to extract the path for internet explorer from the registry?
