Excel Program in c++?
-
I was doing my homework, which consists of defining a bunch of terms... Is there some way to write a program that takes values from a cell and searches on google "define x" and then prints the value in another cell? or it doesn't have to be a cell but maybe just a text document? could someone help me out with where to start? how do you go about calling a webpage within a program? will it work with c++? thanks for all your help.

Launching a browser with a google URL is also easy, ShellExecute will do that. The hard part would be to take a list of URLs and from that get a meaningful value to pass back into Excel.
