Shell pulls up two windows

[willisgt]

:sign0163:I've got a quick little snippet of code that's behaving oddly.

   myArgs = "http://www.radtechs.org"

   Shell( "explorer.exe", myArgs )

It pulls up two Explorer windows when running on the desktop.

I'm running Windows XP w/.Net 1.1 and 2.0, Basic4PPC v.5.8.

Surely I'm not doing something wrong for once?

Only one window here:

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    myArgs = "http://www.radtechs.org"
    Shell( "explorer",myargs )
End Sub

Are you invoking it in an event - maybe the event is firing more than once. You can use a global variable as an event counter, increment it in the event and check it to see how many times the event is fired.

I was doing something wrong. Again.

Solution:

If a button is created dynamically, it does not need an event added to it to handle a click event.

For instance, create a button called 'wubba'.

Create a subroutine called wubba_Click.

No need for an AddEvent for the click to be handled.

Oops.
