Pro/Toolkit - How to link web page to UID

[rnd_doss]

Hi Folks,


I Would like to know, how to enable web page link directly from Pro/Engineer UI Dialog.


".ButtonStyle 4"enables the lable as like hyperlink.


I need some sample code to do this.

I don't have a code example that handles the click event of the button but I can point you to a res file that has a button with a style of 4. Look in this location <Pro Loadpoint>\text\resource\db_client.res. This is the Distributed Pro/BATCH UI resource file.


(OutDirHyper.ButtonStyle 4)

Thanks for the response.


Already i have created a dialong with link. All i need is just know how to code for click events.

 

[rnd_doss]

i found the way to do that.


The header is "windows.h" for shellExecute


and i am using VSS C++ 6.0


ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "http://mylink", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);


But when i compile this i got the following error. Does any one aware ?

[williaps]

I think a better solution would be to show the URL in the embedded browser.
Function ProWindowURLShow







Description


Set the URL displayed in the window's embedded browser.

Synopsis

#include <ProWindows.h>

ProError
ProWindowURLShow
(


int window_id



/* (In)


The window identifier (containing the embedded browser)


*/


wchar_t* url



/* (In)


The URL to display in the embedded browser.


*/

)

 

[rnd_doss]

Thnks for the response.


I was sucessful with this function also able to open the link in embedded browser. But i want to open the browser in serperate window.

 

[rnd_doss]

I got another idead to open in seperate window.


char openlink[100];


strcpy (link, "start iexplore http://mylink");


system (openlink);


the above code opens the browser in separate window.


Thanks,
