 |
|
I don't know if anyone has encountered this.
If there is no different fix, you can use the examples below.
This works fine;
| Code: | | shellExecute("chrome.exe","https://www.google.com/") |
This is not working; (Also tried; Maxthon set as default browser)
| Code: | | shellExecute("Maxthon.exe","https://www.google.com/") |
This works fine;
| Code: | | shellExecute("Maxthon.exe",shellExecute("https://www.google.com/")) |
I don't understand why, but the solution is working for now.

Unfortunately, the forum topic has been archived and no solution has been found.
I could suggest the code below. Maybe it would work for them. 
These commands are working;
| Code: | | shellExecute("Maxthon.exe",shellExecute("https://www.google.com/")) |
or
| Code: | | io.popen("Maxthon.exe",shellExecute("https://www.google.com/")) |

if maxthon is your default browser then
| Code: |
shellExecute("https://www.google.com/")
|
shellexecute works like the run dialog that shows when pressing winkey+r

Ok it worked when it became the default browser.
PC Win10 64 bit.
Available on PC; I have 32-64 bit Chrome, 32 bit Maxthon, 32-64 bit Mozilla, I Explorer, M Edge.
It's not meant to open with the default browser.
In other words, it was a game link that had to be opened and enabling the user to open the game in the browser of his choice, according to the user's choice.
| Code: | | shellExecute ("Maxthon.exe", shellExecute ("https://apps.sample/game=etc")) |
Still the method I gave above works fine.
The example below explains why I think so.
I'm only posting for novices like me to provide ideas.
Feature code I added to Trainer;

you need to give the full path to maxthon.exe

Ok this works for me.
But as you can tell from the folder where it was installed, I did a selective installation. (32 bit Maxthon in 64 bit program folder)
However, the file path may differ on different PCs (the program allows different file / folder selection during installation), this can be desktop or "E \:" folder.
DarkByte, let me use "shellExecute("",shellExecute(""))" nested.
This way it works right.

the way that works for you doesn't work as you think
| Code: |
shellExecute ("Maxthon.exe", shellExecute ("https://apps.sample/game=etc"))
|
what ce does is:
First execute
| Code: |
shellExecute ("https://apps.sample/game=etc")
|
and write that result into X. Since shellExecute returns nothing, it's nil
then execute
| Code: |
shellExecute ("Maxthon.exe", nil)
|
So, first it starts the default browser on your system with that url, and then it tries to execute Maxthon.exe . If it's not found in the system path, do nothing

The code below was tested on 3-4 PCs and works fine.
Especially Maxthon was problematic, with current coding it fixed.
As @ParkourPenguin mentioned, I guess this is a fault with Maxthon.
But as I said, I have a lot of users who are not familiar with the default browser topic, this is the browser selection plugin I created for them.
(And @ParkourPenguin, thanks for your "taskkill / pid" code.)
The system default for the code below is Google Chrome.
But each browser starts the game in its own code without any problems.
The different code is Maxthon and it seems that it still hasn't solved the "Command not opening" issue on its forum site.
| Code: | Launclab3.Items.Add("Open Game Browser")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Google Chrome")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Mozilla Firefox")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Microsoft Edge")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Opera")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Internet Explorer")
Launclab3.Items.Add("Maxthon")
Launclab3.ItemIndex=0
Launclab3.OnChange=function()
local indd1=Launclab3.ItemIndex
if indd1==0 then return end
if indd1==1 then
shellExecute("chrome.exe","https://www.google.com/")
end
if indd1==2 then
shellExecute("firefox.exe","https://www.google.com/")
end
if indd1==3 then
shellExecute("msedge.exe","https://www.google.com/")
end
if indd1==4 then
shellExecute("opera.exe","https://www.google.com/")
end
if indd1==5 then
shellExecute("iexplore.exe","https://www.google.com/")
end
if indd1==6 then
shellExecute("Maxthon.exe",shellExecute("https://www.google.com/"))
end
end |
( I hope you won't install Maxthon browser to test this. )
