LaunchBrowserDialog

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I am trying to use the LaunchBrowserDialog function to load the "New Email"
dialog from a form within VBA.

Here is my code:

ThisDrawing.Utility.LaunchBrowserDialog "", "", "",
"mailto:someone@thisplace.com", "", True

The above code works well enough to launch the default "New E-mail"
dialog... but it still loads the browser in the background. Is there a way
to prevent the browser from loading in this instance?

Also, when the browser does load... it loads the AutoCAD browser... is there
a way to get the "default" (IE?) browser to load instead? I assume it has
something to do with placing the proper browser registry name in the
ReigstryRootKey property, but I don't know what that might be.

TIA,

Rob

Rob,

You could also add the ShellExecute API as an alternative to trying to figure out what your default browser is.




To start your default browser and view a particular Web site:




Call ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", "www.AutoDesk.com", "", 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL)




Good luck,
