im making a server launcher and i need to know how to make a button with a url behind it


for example a button that says vote and when you click it it sends you to my server voting link!



msn- [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Apoc]

Imports System.Diagnostics
 
Public Shared  Sub GoToURL(ByVal url As String)
    Process.Start(url)
End Sub

That will open the default browser, to whatever URL you pass it. (Should be simple enough to change)

Of course, there's more fun ways to do it, but that's by far the easiest. (Not guaranteed to work on all machines however)

this isnt working for me

[Apoc]

Works fine for me.

Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Process.Start("www.google.com")
    End Sub
End Class

thats too long a code

use :

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://mmowned.com/")

this will take you to MMOwned.com

[Apoc]

How is it too long of a code?

It's just a button event handler that does just the same as you did.

k... the easiest way to do this (imo), is a mix between the things above.

Create a button, call it "vote" or whatever you want, double click, and write
process.start("http://We're no strangers to looooveeee, you know the rules, and so do I....com")


This is basicly what Apoc said, just without the confusing stuff around, which
the tools can do on itself, so you don't have to bother about it.

Is there anyway you can modify someone elses program when you know they used VB and ofcourse still keep the Copyright??

Yes, but that's copyright infringement. And why do you need to do this?

Ye, But much more to type

[Apoc]

Not really, that's actually exactly what he was looking for in his first post. (Should read it if you haven't)

[warsheep]

Uhm, I don't get the thing between Apoc and Emilox, what Apoc said is
process.run("http://url.com")
while what Emiloz said was
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://mmowned.com/")

Apoc just took with what the tool originaly creates,
so Emiloz, what you said requires more writing then what Apoc said.

warsheep, Apoc had an Imports System.Diagnostics at the start.

Oh, didn't notice that.

Anyway, using the express edition, all I need to do for this is to write
process.run, and assuming that the original poster uses that too,
it would most likely run just fine without adding the import at the beginning.

[ReidE96]

No, you need to make the import or it can't start a process.
