Thanks much, I'll look at this when I'm back in town this weekend. My app is a turnkey app in "kiosk" mode, so the user doesn't have access to anything but my app. But they threw me a curve the other day and said that they'd want a page with buttons for several games that they could launch from within my app.
In addition, I'll need them to pull up the wireless settings page from within the app. Thanks again, Jon On Jul 11, 10:36 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Jul 9, 2011 at 1:11 PM, JonnyG <[email protected]> wrote: > > I see a lot of posts about starting other apps, and I've got code to > > do that for my apps.
