application.executeProgram not modal

Hi all,

I have a .php page that I would include on my application.
This tool, woulds some parameters to start properly, so I need to open it in one of this two ways:

1 - make an html area in wich I put a string-link that will open the browser. (But I can’t use it in my case because I need to do this trink pressing a button)
2 - open Internet Explorer browser by passing the path to open.

I’m tring to use the second one, but the “problem” comes when I notice that “executeProgram” command, executes the program
in “modal” mode. So the user can’t use the client until the broser is opened.

I use this code:

application.executeProgram("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe","www.dinamosoftware.com");

Does exist a way to launch internet explorer without waiting for the browser closing?

Thanks

Riccardo

Yes: application.showURL(string), it will open you url in the default web browser.

Ah! I didn’t know this method!

To solve temporarily the problem, I’ve created a .url file into the tmp folder, and I launch it.

Thanks Nicola!
