  • 1.  Screen pop to Chrome

    Posted 03-29-2019 16:13

    I have a requirement to perform a dual screen pop, one to IE (using WebPop or DDE) and the second to Chrome (using Handler).  I am able perform the pop to Chrome, only if it is set as the default web browser.  Due to application compatibility issues, the first screen pop has to be on IE and we have to keep the default browser with IE.

    Without changing the default browser, how can I invoke Chrome or any specific web browser from Handler, is that possible?

    What would be the recommended method/syntax?

    Much appreciated.

    Binh,

    In order to 'force' Chrome as the browser for a specific URL, you'll need to use a command line as <PathToChrome>\Chrome.exe <URL>.

    For example: "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" http://www.google.com
    Note: the quotes are only needed is there are spaces in the URL or path to executable.

    Alternately, you could set Chrome as the default browser and use a similar command line for IE, with the URL.
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://www.google.com

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,
    I was discussing the very same syntax with my other developer.  Thanks for the info, I will give it a try.
    Thanks,
