Sending a command to my browser

[TriMan]

Hi,

From my apps in FM, all I want to do is send a command to my internet browser such as "https://messaging.gecka.nc/http/sendmsg?api_id=2&[email protected]&password=test44&text=test&to=68775 587724" then continue working in FM.

If I use the Open URL function, FM open the browser, sends the command and then nothing happens. I want the script to come back to FM so that I can continue to work.

Is the "Open URL" the right command or is there a background command available that avoids opening the browser etc .... ?

Thanks for your help!!!

Open URL should do it and your script shouldn't wait for it. It could be your browser balking at the username and pw in the URL though.

Other options:

- use the send event script step to do the same thing

- open the URL in a hidden web viewer, which would avoid the browser popping up

How do I open my web browser in hidden mode???

not the browser, the FileMaker "web viewer" object...

Gotscha!

I'll give it a go!

Thanks for your help!
