If you want to open a URL just use ExecFile.
We use this for executing hyperlinks and it works just fine
e.g.
!ExecFile(http://www.delphi.org.nz/)

Subject: [DUG]: Windows Help macros (OT)
Slighty off topic here. I'm writing a help file for my delphi app and I
want to add a hyperlink to my website. I'm experimenting with
ExecProgram which works like delphi's WinExec and requires an executable
filename so doesn't accept a URL. There doesn't appear to be anything
equivalent to ShellExecute. The FileOpen macro doesn't seem to work.
Is there a standard way of doing this?
I have discovered a way which appears to work OK
ExecProgram('Explorer.exe http://www.StationPlaylist.com', SW_SHOWNORMAL)
Can anyone see any problems using Explorer.exe this way? Will it work
on all Win32 platforms?
Cheers,
Ross.
