Launch web browser without closing dialog...

[Mark Fulford]

I have seen the autorun example which uses RUN PROGRAM to launch a web page when the dialog box closes.

Is there a way to launch a browser without closing the dialog. For example, I would like to put a "help" link on one of our dialog boxes that links to our web site. But I want the dialog box to remain open (as that is what they're seeking help on).

The only option I can see so far is too clunky to go into a production environment. i.e.:

1. User clicks "help" link to web site
2. Dialog closes and does RUN PROGRAM to URL
3. Dialog reopens

This actually works well in a production environment. If you are running your setup in the IDE, it will be slow and flickery; if you are running a production build, it will work exactly as you intended.

Thanks - you are quite right.
