[archive] web browser

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 12 October 2005]

Hi,
I want to launch microsoft internet exlporer, populated with an existing html file. The intent is to allow the user to browse a report in html and then email it.
Thanks,
Tom

We use "c$run" :)

for example:


           call "c$run" using '"C:\\Programme\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.
      -         'exe" -new "192.168.10.9/first.asp
      -         'passwd=xxxxxx&location=KUNDEN&archive=AUFTR_05&search=.
      -         '1008=880570"'
                giving run-status.

           evaluate run-status
              when 0
                   continue
              when other
                   display message box "Error"
           end-evaluate.


it's not the perfect sollution but it works for us...

That is a good alternative, remember though, to find the right path to explorer, this because it is different paths depending on languages and it may as well be on a different drive.

Note however that the browser control in ACUCOBOL-GT serves the same purpose. For simple browsing I see no need to use the external exe. Check out in the sample directory of our support pages for an example implementation of the internal web browser.
