I would like to have my program ope

VincentP · May 18, 2003

I would like to have my program open an html file at a given anchor point. For example: index.html#stuff

ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "index.html", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );

works fine, but

ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "index.html#stuff", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );

does not, since Windows does not find the file "index.html#stuff"...

The file is local. It works fine on internet files if I "execute"

http://domain.com/index.html#stuff

Any ideas?

I'm sorry I forgot to put a title to my question! Anyhow, I found a workaround, and thought I would share it for all who are interested.

I create a "temporary" .html file containing a redirection instruction to the address containing a #

Code:

FILE * fhtml = fopen( &quot;tmp.html&quot;, &quot;wt&quot; );
fprintf( fhtml, &quot;<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\&quot;Refresh\&quot; CONTENT=\&quot;0; URL=%s\&quot;></HEAD><BODY>If you are not redirected, <a href=\&quot;%s\&quot;>click here</a>.</BODY></HTML>&quot;, p->strFile, p->strFile );
fclose( fhtml );

ShellExecute( NULL, &quot;open&quot;, &quot;tmp.html&quot;, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );

p->strFile is a CString containing something like "index.html#stuff".

It works... but if anyone can think of a way without a redirection, I'll take it!
