I created a new version with support to open URLs. Can somebody please test it.
How would I change the default browser settings? Is there some frontend for that? Or do I have to use an Ini editor to do that?

Hi Jochen,

  Tried this new version of classicube, and trying to register, the web browser (SeaMonkey in this case) does open, but it opens on my home page, not the registration page.

  I use IAIUtil to edit the web apps in OS2.INI (IAI_1.0.9.2 on Hobbes). It requires the VPREXX.DLL runtime (found in VisiPro Rexx also on Hobbes).

Regards,

I saw that behaviour, too, but on my last test Firefox opened with a new window and the URL. Strange.

Thanks for the tip, I will look into it.

Testing here, it opened SM fine, but only about: came up, like you're not passing the URL to the browser.

[Jochen Schäfer]

I'm absolutely positive, that I have a non-empty URL as an argument to the exe path, when calling DosExecPgm.
But, that's what's testing for ;-)

[Dave Yeo]

Tested again, this time with the browser shutdown. It worked, bringing up https://www.classicube.net/acc/register/. Once SeaMonkey was running, tried again, new window with about: once again came up.
Noticed that when I started ClassicCube from a command prompt, the prompt output was,

Code: [Select]

F:\games\ClassiCube>ClassiCube.exe
Starting ClassiCube 1.3.6 ..

Closing ClassicCube left the cmd prompt looking like it was still open and when I pressed CTRL-C, not only did ClassicCube finish closing, so did SeaMonkey.
On the command line, entering "seamonkey https://www.classicube.net/acc/register/" works as expected, new window opens with the page loaded.
Seems like DosExecPgm needs something like "start" to have a new instance of the browser.

[Dave Yeo]

Looking at the documentation, I guess you need to pass one as the execFlag parameter instead of zero.
Edit: Remember to test both with the browser running and not running.
Edit2: or perhaps DosStartSession() would be better to use.

How would I change the default browser settings?

You don't need a third-party app. Open any URL object's Properties to the 'Browser' tab, fill in the details, then press the 'Set Default' button below.The info ends up in os2.ini->WPURLDEFAULTSETTINGS->DefaultBrowserExe and ->DefaultWorkingDir.

perhaps DosStartSession() would be better to use.

If this is linked as a PM app or gets morphed into one, use WinStartApp() - much easier.

[Jochen Schäfer]

Well, I just got DosExecPgm working (added the exe name to the parameter list).

@Rich: Does WinStartApp detach from the parent (apart from the sending the termination message)? Other advantages over DosExecPgm?

Hi Jochen,

  This last version does open the browser on the register page - thanks!
