Hi All.
I have a problem with opening an html file. The file is UTF-8 encoded.
My code is
ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", L"C:/PROGRAM FILES/MOZILLA FIREFOX/FIREFOX.EXE", L"file:///C:/DOCUME~1/MACADA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/index.htm", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
it returns a value greater than 32 (success). But it opens a blank page.
When i look the page sources i can see that there is "Unicode conversion problem" is written in body tag.
If i try to open another file (ANSI encoded) it works properly.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Venera

What are your character encoding settings in FF? Have you tried IE with that file?
|

FF character encoding is set to Western but even setting to Unicode (UTF-8) does not help.
The same behavior is in IE.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, what happens when you open the file directly in FF or IE?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have you tried without the "file:///"?
|
|
|
|
|
In this case it pops up an alert message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol(c) isn't associated with any program".
|

I tried your code with the same syntax on several UTF-8 encoded files and it works fine for me.

Thanks.
I found a strange behaviour. When i put this file in D:, so the code is
ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", browser.c_str(), L"file:///D:/index.htm", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
it works. But i want to mention that when i try to open an ANSI encoded file from the same directory (C:/DOCUME~1/MACADA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/) it also works fine. It is weird...

It appears that ShellExecute is working just fine. It's Firefox that is having a problem with the file.
|

I don't think it is FF problem because the problem occurs also in IE
|

Find, but it's still not a problem with ShellExecute.

Can you execute this command outside of code (i.e., the Run box)?

By typing C:/PROGRAM FILES/MOZILLA FIREFOX/FIREFOX.EXE C:/DOCUME~1/MACADA~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/index.htm in the Run box.

No, it is impossible.
Thanks for your help. I found that the file was corrupting during the program run. And the reason was not the ShellExecute function.

That should tell you it's not a code issue.

Convert it to a string and display it. You might use CString::Format() , as you say you're using MFC.

Convert the result into a string using CString::Format .
The use the CString variable as the lpszText parameter of MessageBox .

Something like this ....
CString strTime;
strTime.Format("Time = %d", nMyTime);
AfxMessageBox(strTime);
.... Hope that helps

You may use CString::Format method [^] and then, for instance, AfxMessageBox function [^].
