Hi all, hi Bush

BTW: I would like about something to ask
This function with these parameters be required for each page www?
It is possible in order to replace "http://www.vbforums.com" any written in textbox adress or chosen the adress in Combo?

Thanks in advance

Just replace the address with a string variable, e.g.:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", Text1.Text, 0&, 0&, SW_NORMAL
 
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", Combo1.List(Combo1.ListIndex), 0&, 0&, SW_NORMAL
End Sub

Here a code 4 u Tamgovb! It's a simple code to extent Mr Bush explaination. Try to use and modified the code. You'll find it useful and exciting :wave:

VB Code:

Dim address As String
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    address = Combo1
    ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", address, 0&, 0&, SW_NORMAL
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim VbForum, Yahoo As String
    VbForum = "www.vbforum.com"
    Yahoo = "www.yahoo.com"
    Combo1.AddItem VbForum
    Combo1.AddItem Yahoo
End Sub

Thanks for reply Bush. Always I can rely on you

Yeah, thanks Bearnerd, thanks very much, I will practice now, it with certainty will be useful.

I know this forum was created many of years ago, but I came across the issue today since I'm a beginner.
I searched for many of hours to finally find the proper & easiest way to link buttons up or linklabels up with URL's.
Since there was no videos out there showing how to do it, I made one & here is the link for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyIVb9D8UGU

How does this simple ordinary run-of-the-mill thread get a five star rating and why?

keep in mind that sometimes simply using Shell may be preffered if you're giong to release it to public,
as for some reason antiviruses seem to hate shell executes.

Code:

---

Public Function LoadURL(url as String)
    Shell("explorer http://" & url , vbNormalFocus)
End Function

---

'usage example: LoadURL("www.google.com")

So make your pick

Thanks for trying to help but you are using VB.NET and this is for VB6.

Yep, that's what I thought. I did that just to see of an OP can give his thread a 5-star rating

I realised that was possible when I noticed that salsa's threads always got 5 stars!

I've always wondered how so many threads got a 5 star. Now some are worthy but a lot I just can't see it. OPs should not be allowed to rate their own threads - the site should change that

Meh, not so sure about that. Most threads are unrated period. This suggests that the ONLY people who tend to rate threads are the OP's of those threads. Remove the functionality from them and it won't get used at all! If you see a 5* thread that you think should be lower you could always balance it out with a rating of your own ;)
