2 simple question.

Hi!

I'm using VB6.0 and Windows 98 2nd.ed. How to open a webpage to user's default browser when he clicks a pic in my app? How to count the characters in a textbox? All characters must be counted, like ä, ö, å , *, /, [spacebar hit] and so on. ? ?


Thanks,

Lare

I don't know the first answer but the second one is simple just use:
len(text1.text)

Well if you want just a new window, then the easiest way to do this is directly open ie directly. using the shell command and it will automatically goto the users default homepage.

Code:

---

Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe"),VbNormalFocus

---

That will not open a web site. In order to do so, pass the name of the website as the command line argument.

Code:

---

Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe www.excite.com"), 1
