Is this possible?

[CheapPins]

Updated with background:

Just wondering if this is possible:
When you click Forums it brings you to the forum / website.
When you click Vote it brings you to the Rune Locus vote link website.
When you click Item List it opens a notepad with item ids.
When you click YouTube channel it brings you to a YouTube channel.
When you click Play Ziotic it opens a java private server client.

If you could tell me which would work / how to or if none would it would be appreciated.
If you would like to help contact me on Skype: mr-choma
Thanks a bunch.

I'm not sure on the private server client part, but you can do all the other things.

Vb6 has a function called Shell(). It accepts a file path to what you want to execute.

I'm sure that there is a way to import a library and use the shellexecute() function that is used in c++ as well.

If you do some google searching I'm sure you can find what you're looking for.

process.start("www.google.com")

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    On Error GoTo ohnoes
    Call Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe URL_HERE")
    Exit Sub
ohnoes:
    MsgBox "Error number: " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & "Error Brief: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error Details"
End Sub

replace URL_HERE with the url you want the webbrowser to navigate to. I added a little bit of error handling as some people computer may not have iexplorer stored on C drive.

Use %ProgramFiles% instead it automatically translates to <Windows Drive>:\Program Files

Oh didnt know that my bad.

There's also the GetEnvironmentVariable API call.

You can use the ShellExecute function to open a web address in the default web browser. Here's an article that explains how to use it in vb6. Clicky.

Everything is possible. Google it.

Yea, it's pretty easy

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.YOURWEBSITE")

If it doesn't work on your VB version, PM me or take a look here. Good luck!
