Hi David (- how are things in Merseyside?) & listers
I've recently been experimenting with IE4 / IE5 and its Active-X
component with Delphi to integrate web browsing in an application. Until
last month I didn't know that you could do this with IE. This is obivously
well-beyond the humble capabilities of MapBasic, but shows that
something is possible - however OLE would be better than DDE.
You may (or may not!) like to know that I had no trouble running ie with
the command line parameter of the html page I wanted to open with
MapInfo 4 & ie 3 a few years ago:
sIE = "C:\windows\iexplore.exe"
sPage = "http://www.ThisShouldWork.co.uk/index.htm"
sTemp = sIE + " " + sPage
Run application sTemp
What you may want can be found using the WinApi - sorry I don't have
the funtion to hand to run another app based upon the filename's
extension (ie .htm / .html) but somebody out there should know it.
Hope this helps
Mike

Dear all,
Has anyone got any experience / code for interacting with
Internet Explorer 4.x through DDE ? I want a user to be
able to access a map layer's metadata stored on an
intranet catalogue.
I can launch Internet Explorer from within MapBasic
but can't find the code to get the browser to open
the URL I want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dave Yarwood
