open tab in firefox
you can explicitly open the URL in a new tab or a new window with firefox.
Code: Select all
RunProgram(GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles")+"\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "-new-tab " + "http://www.purebasic.com", GetCurrentDirectory())
RunProgram(GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles")+"\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "-new-window " + "http://www.purebasic.com", GetCurrentDirectory())
but before, make sure firefox exists on the computer in that directory.
I would like to open the homepage of my program...
for that purpose it's better to do it like the others have shown, because it will use the users default browser.

Thanks for the fast replies.
I just tried it and it basically works.
It opens a new tab in my firefox and displays the page
BUT
my game is not working properly anymore.
Somehow the buttons of the titlescreen are screwed.
I have no clue yet what causes this.
The sourcecode is freely available.
So if somebody likes to try just get it from the laby sourceforge page.
Its in the subversion there.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lostlaby/
Just add the above call somewhere before the main loop in laby.pb and you will be able to reproduce it.
