[RESOLVED] Pass Inputbox data to end of URL string

Hey guys :wave: I'm new here, and I've searched for this, but didn't see any posts.

In my vb windows app, I'm trying to take a simple inputbox and pass the input data to the end of a url string.

Example -

Inputbox displays when user selects menu option

Inputbox displays "enter username"

User enters a username and the input box passes this data to the end of a URL string opened in browser window (via WebBrowser1.Navigate?).

So, user enters "Bob" as username, and the application is supposed to open the URL with the userinfo at the end. for example -

http://privateurl.com/users/Bob

So far I've managed to create this -

Dim fname
fname = InputBox("Enter UserName")
Dim wsh As Object = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wsh.Run (Chr(34) & "http://privateurl.com/users/" & fname & Chr(34))

This actually works... sort of... it 404's the application browser window (WebBrowser1), but opens a seperate IE browser window and goes to the proper URL. I feel like I'm so close! Any help is appreciated guys. Thanks!

I figured it out. It looks like I had a bunch of unnecessary code in there with respect to wsh. For others trying to do this, the correct code would be -

Private Sub
Dim fname
fname = InputBox("Enter UserName")
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://privateurl.com/users/" & fname)
End Sub
