Lisp communicate with Microsoft Edge

[rcb007]

 

What would be the Program ID to change from the internetexplorer to microsoft-edge?

 

(Apply 'vlax-get-or-create-object '("internetexplorer.application"))

 

Internet Explorer keeps launching and saying it is unsupported. I did not know if it was easier to change it to focus on the Microsoft Edge Browser.

 

Thanks

Don't know what your trying to do but if edge is set as your default  you can just use the command browser to launch.

(command "_.Browser" "www.google.com")

I was using this routine made by Roy.  It allows to interface between CAD and StreetView Google. Very Cool.

try replacing ?
 

"internetexplorer.application"
"edge.application"

 

 

[rcb007]

yup. Sure did. I tried:

 

edge.application

msedge.application

microsoftedge.application

 

I have tried the below, which is supposed to help locate the program if it exists, but cannot find it.

This came up the other day:

(defun open_url_in_chrome (url / sa);by ronjonp
  (and (setq sa (vlax-get-or-create-object "Shell.Application"))
       (null (vlax-invoke sa 'shellexecute "chrome.exe" url))
       (vlax-release-object sa)
  )
)

 

You can put in the 'exe' name ( msedge.exe in this case ), or like MHUPP says will also do _browser for the default browser, a slightly different method to yours and I don't know if the interface will work as you want but it looks like it might

Try this.

 

(Apply 'vlax-get-or-create-object '("Microsoft-edge.application"))

I'm getting 'nil' with that MHUPP,  though it will open with the example in the link you found
