Opening web page in a new tab

[Mertli Ozgur Nevres]

Hi all I am using the code below to open an internet explorer window: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "iexplore.exe", "http://www.codeproject.com" ); It works well, but in ie7, it opens a new window every time. But i want to open a new tab instead of a new window. Is there any way to do this? Thanks

Stupid IE7, i don't like it. Well, that doesn't work because it starts a whole new process, you want to tell the existing process to open up a new tab... i have no idea how to do that :doh: But i shall investigate... AWAY!

Have you tried starting http://www.codeproject.com as a process in stead of iexplore?? System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.codeproject.com"); I haven't got IE7 installed so cannot test, i'm sorry, but maybe it's the trick ;-)

GREAT! It worked. Many thanks! :beer: And it is better than first one, cz it is using the default browser, not ie only. I changed my default browser to opera, and it opened a new tab in opera. :cool:

Your problem is that you are starting a new iexplore process each time.

As a Firefox user I tell you: Don't - do - this - EVER! :sigh: Starting the link directly is okay on windows, windows will take care of it itself.
