I'm starting to introduce myself to the OLE_TESTER form.

Is there any way to cofigure this form to open the default Internet explorer (In my case Mozilla Firefox) instead the Windows Internet Explorer ?

Firefox does not support OLE automation very well.

There is an old command line interface that you can use send commands to firefox.

In the simplest situation, if you want to open an html document in the default browser use something like

shell=OleCreateInstance('Wscript.shell')

url=http://www.revelation.com'

x= OleCallMethod(shell, 'Run', url)

Thanks.

Hello Bob,

By the way, what is this OLE_TESTER ?

I have thing like that in my SYSPROG but the form doesn't have a single event on it? Totally blank, just a pretty face.

Kauko:

The OLE_TESTER form is a form where you can test an Object Linked Embedded , in this case , this is a form where you can navigate through a web page. If you give me your email, I can send you an image of it.

Like I said, I have form but it has no events on it?

I created that form for the 2002 (?) Revelation Conference.

The idea was to show some of the capabilities of the (then) new OLE control. It appears that we ship the form but not the events with a new install of 9.0

I'll fix it for 9.01 and look at posting an RDK.

I am talking about v8.0.8. It does have the form but no events, controls etc.

I've got OI 9.2 – it still has the OLE_TESTER form with no event handlers. I could really use those event handlers, since I've had no luck so far figuring out how to capture events from a COM test control I wrote. Are the OLE_TESTER event handlers still available anywhere? Is there any sample code available for handling COM (OLE) events?
