Code updated for 5.20+
This is a little IDE Tool.
It search on MSDN (Internet) for the word under the cursor in the IDE
Only add it to the "Tools" and give a shortcut like Ctrl + F1, and using '%WORD' for its arguments.
Code: Select all
Define.s Word
Word = GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_TOOL_Word")
If Word
If Right(Word, 1) = "_"
Word = Left(Word, Len(Word) -1)
ElseIf Left(Word, 1) = "#"
Word = Right(Word,Len(Word) -1)
EndIf
RunProgram("rundll32.exe","url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://www.google.de/search?q=site:msdn.microsoft.com+msdn+win32+" + Word + "&btnI=true", "")
EndIf
You can't test the source, only the exe as tool!!!

Very handy. Thank you.
Just a little question : what's the difference between :
Code: Select all
RunProgram("rundll32.exe","url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://www.google.de/search?q=site:msdn.microsoft.com+msdn+win32+" + Word + "&btnI=true", "")
And
Code: Select all
RunProgram("http://www.google.de/search?q=site:msdn.microsoft.com+msdn+win32+" + Word + "&btnI=true")
I guess that first one is api-dependant, but what else ?

It's use the same FileProtocolHandler, as the IE. Webserver from M$ are optimized for IE. I hope it's give better results

With the IDE, you have a special access to the whole MDSN if you install it and remove the Win32.hlp from the help directory.
