Opening a new web-page window

Hi everybody,

I got this code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
ShellExecute 0&, vbNullString, "http://www.google.com", vbNullString, "C:\", 1
End Sub


and it works, but it replaces my last web-browser window, and I want to let it open in a new window...

anyone?





and while your reading this: how do you rename a file using vb?

So you're just testing to see if we can do it? ;)

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function FindExecutable Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "FindExecutableA" (ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal lpResult As String) As Long
 
Private Function GetBrowserEXE() As String
    Dim iFile As Integer
    Dim sEXE As String
    
    iFile = FreeFile
    Open "C:\~Temp.htm" For Output As iFile
    Close iFile
    
    sEXE = Space(255)
    Call FindExecutable("C:\~Temp.htm", "", ByVal sEXE)
    Kill "C:\~Temp.htm"
    
    If InStr(sEXE, Chr(0)) Then GetBrowserEXE = Left(sEXE, InStr(sEXE, Chr(0)) - 1)
End Function
 
Private Sub OpenInNewBrowser(ByVal sURL As String)
    Call Shell(GetBrowserEXE() & " " & sURL, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Call OpenInNewBrowser("http://www.vbforums.com")
End Sub

thanks, it works!:)
