Trying to launch a page from the code.

[Vicky]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me. Im working with Visual C++
1.52, (16-bit). Trying to launch a site from the code. I've tried
using WinExec and ShellExecute, but with no luck. Both only work for
links with up to 120 characters or so, but my link is much much longer
and will keep changing in the code. Also tried the batch file, still
only takes a string up to a certain length. Anyone knows of anything
else I can try.

Thanks in advance,
Vicky

I'd be very surprised to find that ShellExecute has a 120 character length
limitation on URLs but you're better of following this up in a WIN32
newsgroup such as news:comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

Link to a smaller sized URL that has a meta "refresh" tag in the header
section that points to your larger sized URL...

Google on "meta tag refresh" for the syntax
