Open a Web Browser Through a GP Addin

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to open the default Web Browser window to a specific URL from a GP Addin?  I can get this to work in VBA code using Shell without any issue but it seems to completely skip over this line in my Addin Code.  I have tried this and a few other variants without any success.

Addin Code:

string url = "http://www.google.com";

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);

 

Is there any sort of a workaround other than to use VBA? (GP 2010 R2)

Thanks for your assistance!

John

    I did a simple test and got it to work when accessed from my menu handler. Where are you trying to launch the code? Needless to say, make sure your project builds and compiles successfully and that you are copying the correct debug/release dll.

    Public void Initialize()

    {

    Microsoft.Dexterity.Applications.Dynamics.Forms.GlTransactionEntry.AddMenuHandler(test, "test");

    }

           static void test(object sender, EventArgs e)

           {

               System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.google.ca");

           }

    James,

    Thanks for taking the time to test this.  My problem has been resolved.  

    I was calling the same Menu Handler procedure to open the web page from 2 different forms (modified and unmodified form) which would test the type of the form to determine which URL should open and that was causing the issue.  Once I made two separate procedures everything worked as expected.

    Thanks again!

    John
