Opening a web page through a VB Application

[helloamit78]

I want to open a web page in Internet Explorer through the click of a command button of my VB Application.

[siddharth_sp]

you can use the shell execute api.I am sending u the code also..hope its the one u want

General Declaration of API:

Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As Long, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long


Usage:::
command1.click = ShellExecute(0, 0, Trim$(strApplicationPath), , 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

where strApplicationPath is a string which will contain the file address to be opened.

Cheers:
