Last query about Internet Explorer and Labview

Hi there!

Ok, I've managed to open URL in Internet Explorer from within LabView
(thanks Dennis Knutson), but is there any way to include IE browser in
a labview container to make it part of a project, without using
ActiveX (coz compatibility troubles) ???

thanks a lot!!!

Mesca,

Yes, but it is the long hard way. You can use the System Exec.vi to launch IE from the command line. If you give it a URL as a parameter on the command line (iexplore.exe http://www.ni.com), then IE will open that page. The downside to this is that this is all you can do. Once you launch the browser, it is a separate program that you have no hooks into. You would have to launch a new browser window for each page you want to launch.
