Launch URL Even after closing Application (E9.1 # 9.1.2.2)

[smita]

Hi,

I know Go to URL & Text Box Control (Java Script) we can launch URL but form needs to be open.

If I close form in Post Dialog Initialize {Press Button (Cancel)} it doesn't launch URL

Is any way, I can call application which launch URL and close automatically?

Here's what works for me:

Post Dialog Initialize:
-- ER code to construct URL, other HouseKeeping
-- Press Button(FC GotoWeb)
-- Press Button(HC &Cancel)

FC GotoWeb PushButton - Button Clicked event:
-- Go to Url(VAfrm_szURL)

Behavior in this area has always been a little strange and subject to change between major Tools Releases. Our usage has been to use a common form/function called from any any app to launch a URL for viewing drawings and/or documents related to a part. The common form/function should be invisible to the user.

I also tried the Text box Control with JavaScript - to get the form to close automatically and never be visible required too much intrusive code and/or I didn't know what I was doing
