OpenURL in different window?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/OpenURL in different window?

ubergeek (Posted 2009) [#1]

I have an interesting problem. I have an app that runs in a web browser, using OSAKit. The app itself needs to launch a web browser to open a specified page at certain points. The problem is that it opens the page in the same window, so if the user wants to continue using my OSAKit-embedded app, they have to go back to the previous page, prompting OSAKit to redownload and restart the game (which can take several minutes as it loads a lot of content). Is there any way around this? Can I force BlitzMax to OpenURL in a new browser? Thanks!

what about opening an internet browser with openprocess and then passing the url on the command line?

That sounds promising, but where is the OpenProcess command? (sorry, I'm a bit new to BlitzMax).

why not just use system_ to run a seperate IE window

type in openprocess and press F1 or if that doesnt work just keep looking:)

Thanks, I found it here. I didn't have that library yet. I'll see if that works. Thanks again!
