Question

Edit

For VB 6

End Edit

Hey this seems like it should be an easy fix and I don’t particularly like the Visual Basic language, but how would I open a URL in the default web browser, using code?

Edit
Why do I keep getting this error?

A call to PInvoke function ‘CrackleMail!WindowsApplication1.FormFinal::ShellExecute’ has
unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the
unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke
signature match the target unmanaged signature.

Answer 1

VB.NET:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://example.com")

VB 6 (not sure):

Declare Function ShellExecuteA Lib "shell32.dll" ( _
    ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
    ByVal lpOperation As String, _
    ByVal lpFile As String, _
    ByVal lpParameters As String, _
    ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
    ByVal nShowCmd As Integer) As IntPtr

ShellExecuteA(Me.Handle, "open", "http://example.com", "", "", 4)
