need api function please

hi
i need some api function that go to "url"(without open then webbrowser!)
simple, i have code (asp) that do somthing in this url..
is it possible?
thanks

Not navigate to a website, you could use a WebBrowser control.

Code:

---

WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.vb-world.net"

---

thanks......
but again..
this is function in dll file, so i can't use activex controls

I dont understand why u cannot use ActiveX controls?

because i writer the code in dll file
so i can't use "controls"

i dont know if this is what ur lookin for.

Public Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Public 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


Dim retval as long, webpage as string

webpage = "www.hotmail.com"
retval = shellexecute(form1.hwnd, "open", webpage, "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)
