Re: Can JMenuItem point to a HTML file that opens in IE?

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. /*
  2.    * ped.java
  3.    *
  4.    * Created on 29 April 2006, 17:07
  5.    */
  6. import java.awt.*;
  7. import java.io.*;
  8. import java.util.*;
  9.  
  10.  
  11. public class ped {
  12.    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  13.      try
  14. {
  15. Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
  16. Process p = rt.exec("notepad.exe");
  17. }
  18.  
  19. catch(Exception e)
  20. {
  21.  
  22. }
  23.      }
  24.    }

That opens notepad, although I'm not sure how to open explorer? But I reckon it's pretty close...

Re: Can JMenuItem point to a HTML file that opens in IE?

hey, thanks for that part! I managed to open up the IE. But the problem here is, I do not know how to get it to point to the URL "tutorial.html"

Sorry about that.

Re: Can JMenuItem point to a HTML file that opens in IE?

But why do it like that?
Why not embed a web browser control in a Java window?
If simple HTML 3.0 is enough you can use standard controls for that, else you might have to find something on the web (or get creative and write your own HTML parser).
