I have translated the prototype for DoFileDownload from VB to Delphi as follows:
VB: Private Declare Function DoFileDownload Lib "shdocvw" (ByVal lpszFile As String) As Long Delphi: function DoFileDownload(lpszFile: PChar): Longint; far; external 'shdocvw.dll'; When I call it, I get a warning dialog "Download could not complete" with a series of unprintable characters followed by the word "from". The program is then apparently closed by Windows. As I understand this call, lpszFile is the URL to download. Thought it might be a widestring, so redefined as: function DoFileDownload(lpszFile: PWideChar): Longint; far; external 'shdocvw.dll'; No joy. Anyone have a very simple working example that makes this call? Thanks, Glenn Lawler www.incodesystems.com
