Hi Chris! thank you for your comments.

Hi

Declare this external API function:

Function long ShellExecute( long hwnd,  string lpOperation, string lpFile, string lpParameters,  string lpDirectory,  integer nShowCmd) Library "shell32.dll" alias for "ShellExecuteW" 

Then if this is for example in the clicked of a button on top of a window (hence "handle(parent)":

string ls_null

setnull(ls_null)
ll_handle = Handle(Parent)// setnull(ll_handle)  might also work

// last parameter: 1=Normal (last used winState), 3=maximized
ShellExecute( ll_handle, 'Open', "https://www.google.com", ls_null, "default directory", 1) 

This would open up a browser which is assigned in windows as default browser and your powerbuilder code keeps running.

With "default directory" I mean an existing default directory on your computer, so you have to replace that.

Hi Alexander;

 If you upgrade to PB 2019 R2, it now has a built in Web Browser control for just this type of App functionality.

How about the Inet service with function HyperlinkToURL? It uses the default browser.

Inet linet_base
GetContextService("Internet", linet_base)
linet_base.HyperlinkToURL("https://www.google.com")

Hi Alexander,

Run("c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe https://www.google.com")

Btw, Run&wait is a better solution than Run:
