Open URL in Default Browser help

I use the Open URL vi to send a command to another computer. e.g. http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxx/exec?RCO.
The vi also opens a web page with some return information from the other computer. Can I suppress the openning of that web page?
Thanks

I'm not sure why you are using this vi anyway but there is not a way to suppress the opening since the VI is password protected. Why not use TCP or ActiveX with internet explorer.

    So can we keep a web button to access the www.ni.com ? So that web site opens only when button pressed?
    P.S  I,m a newbie.
    Yes, you can also, e.g. include a help file or manual as html and open that in the browser.

  • Bug report: on LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and Windows 8 'Open URL in default browser.vi'

    Dear colleagues,
    Here is a bug report.
    Culprit: 'Open URL in default browser.vi'.
    System: Windows 8, Professional. LabVIEW 2011 SP1.
    Abnormal behaviour and steps to reproduce:
    Above mentioned VI doesn't work when LabVIEW was started with administrator privilegies. And it works as expected when LabVIEW running in normal (non-administrator) mode. 
    Looking forward to see this fixed.
    Best regards,
    Igor Titov.

    Hi Igor,
    Unfortunately LabVIEW 2011 SP1 does not support Windows 8. I tested this behavior with LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on Windows 8 and everything worked correctly.

  • Open URL in default browser

    Hi All,
    I'm very new to this (java(fx) programming) and the last days I'm trying to figure out how I can open the default browser when the user clicks the image (loaded from webpage) in the JFXPanel. This image comes from an openx (ads) server and holds a URL as destination link.
    So far all my attempts to accomplish this have failed and I'm lost in this.
    Currently when clicking the image, the destination webpage opens in in the same JFXpanel (ofcourse), but I would like to open this in the default browser.
    this is what I currently have for initiating the scene from swing
                ap = new AdsPanel();
                ap.init();
                JPanel ad = new JPanel();
                ad.add(AdsPanel.fxContainer);the class for loading the webpage:
        //@Override
        public void init()
            fxContainer = new JFXPanel();
            fxContainer.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(JFXPANEL_WIDTH_INT, JFXPANEL_HEIGHT_INT));
            // create JavaFX scene
            Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
                @Override
                public void run()
                    createScene();
    private void createScene()
            Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
                @Override
                public void run()
                    loadURL(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                    WebView view = new WebView();
                    webEngine = view.getEngine();
                    view.setContextMenuEnabled(false);
                    Scene scene = new Scene(view);
                    fxContainer.setScene(scene);
            });Hope some can help me out.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Just found my solution!! OPening the default browser in a separate thread. Please feel free to comment me, on the code (I do not earn my money as a developer)
    private void createScene()
            Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
                @Override
                public void run()
                    loadURL(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                    WebView view = new WebView();
                    webEngine = view.getEngine();
                    view.setContextMenuEnabled(false);
                    webEngine.locationProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>()
                        @Override
                        public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, final String oldValue, final String newValue)
                                if ( !newValue.contains(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK) )
                                    System.out.println("newval =: " + FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                                    Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
                                        @Override
                                        public void run()
                                            loadURL(oldValue);
                                    // open the destination URl in the default browser
                                    // class will open a new thread
                                    BrowserOpener.main(newValue);
                    Scene scene = new Scene(view);
                    fxContainer.setScene(scene);
        }and the class opening the default browser:
    public abstract class BrowserOpener implements Runnable {
         * url string
        private static String uriString;
        public void open(String url) throws Exception{
            URI u = new URI(url);
            java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(u);
        public void run() {
            try
                open(uriString);
            catch ( Exception ex )
                Logger.getLogger(BrowserOpener.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        public static void main(String args) {
            (new Thread(new BrowserOpener() {})).start();
            uriString = args;
    }

  • Open URL in default browser -- doesn't

    I'm trying to open up my help files (located on the computer) from within LabView and get the attached error in the JPEG.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks for posting the screenshot...I see what the problem is.  You are trying to wire a path to the Open URL VI as a string.  When this VI receives a string input, it assumes the string contains a URL...if the VI receives a path input, it assumes the string contains an absolute path to an HTML file on disk...it looks like this is the functionality you need.  Here is a screenshot of how I think your VI should work:
    See how the VI is accepting a path input now instead of a string input?  With the path input, it does not try to escape space characters like it would with a URL string.
    Hope this helps,
    -D

  • Open URL in default Browser java.awt.Desktop was working...

    I downloaded Net Beans 6.5 with JavaFX 1 and now java.awt.Desktop isn't even an option for the imports, is there an alternative method to open URLs from my application?

    No, you aren't wrong.
    It's, and I mean this with all due respect, idiotic.
    I found some code on the net that does the same thing:
    http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser/
    Just one class, very simple.
    But I really would like java.awt.Desktop to work, I want the system tray integration stuff.
    Questions about getting Java 1.6 compatibility (the reason why the import doesn't work) go unanswered. It seems there is some hard coded -target 1.5 in some part of the javafx compiler. I can't figure out how to change it.

  • Has anyone experience this! - default browser helper 537

    Hi,
    I use Firefox as my default browser, since the firefox plug-in "default browser helper 537" was installed (in November) my mac has slow down, especially when browsing using both firefox and safari. I un-installed firefox a week ago and my pc has gone back to it original state. I installed Firefox again after two days from the previous un-install and the browsing slow down again. I then un-installed again. Has anyone experience this! IS there a issue with Firefox???

    Just experienced same today. Firefox didn't even want to quit without a force quit. Removed Firefox and so far so good with other browsers - Safari and Chrome

  • What is the " Default Browser Helper 537 " plug-in ?

    I went to check if my plug-ins were up to date today and noticed a new one that I did not knowingly install:

  • Open URL in a browser with POST request from FlashPlayer?

    I have a SWF file that plays locally in Standalone Flash Player 11.2 under Win 8.1.
    I'm using the standard navigateToUrl() function to open a URL in a browser, so it's not published for AIR, I make sure that request data is not empty - it contains my URLvars, the function is user initiated on click, and the request method is POST.
    Still the browser sends a GET request.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible to fix, so it sends POST?
    Thanks!

    Can not post my code properly because it then requires moderation, so plain text:
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(....);
    var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    vars.xxxx = hub.extras[3];
    vars.yyyy = hub.extras[4];
    req.data = vars;
    req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    navigateToURL(req, "_blank");

  • Open URL in current browser window

    I'm developing an application that works side-by-side with the user's default web browser. The browser communicates with the app through a proxy, and that works great. The issue I'm having is going the other way. So far, I've only been successful opening a new browser window each time. However, it would be much better to be able to open a page in the current window/tab. I mainly want this to work with Firefox (or anything other than IE). Has anyone ever done this, and is this even possible with Java?
    Thanks in advance.

    Desktop.getDesktop().browse() is what I'm using currently. I don't think you understood my problem. Currently it is opening in a new browser window. In Firefox, it's opening in a new tab, since I have it set to open in a new tab instead of new window. But, what I want it to do is open in the CURRENT tab. In other words, navigate from the current page to a new page, just as if the user had typed in an address into the address bar and pressed enter, or just as if he had clicked a standard link on the webpage.

  • Hyperlinks in Entourage no longer open in my default browser Firefox in English

    For a month or so now i have been unable to open any hyperlinks in entourage... they no longer click through to my Firefox default browser...
    Any thoughts?

    Maybe the default setting got changed by mistake? Try setting something else as the default browser, then setting it back to Firefox.

  • Thunderbird does not open URLs in a browser. A bug?

    Did a fresh install of Arch 0.8.
    Thunderbird 2 came with it. On my workstation URLs within an email-body aren't opened in an external browser.
    Neither in konqueror nor in Firefox. Is this a bug that I should report, or do you all have a working thunderbird?
    thanks

    Thank you, it works
    Though I dropped TB now, using kmail instead, feels a lot snappier and looks better.

  • Wanting to make FF 4 my default browser, help pages are no help!

    The FF help menus show directions to make FF default browser. However after trying to follow the steps given, no response and no default. Something is missing there, don't know what. Windows XP Pro is my system.
    Thanks

    there maybe more than one web browser on your pc, and by default ,maybe they all set to be the default browser, so you have to disable them all, disable them to check themselves to be the default internet browser. then enable firefox as the default browser.

  • Moved catalog and now LR won't open it by default. Help?

    I'm running LR2 (I know, first step, UPGRADE!), but in the meantime, I had to move my catalog because my drive got full. Under the Backup dialog box I chose the new location. But when I just click on the LR icon to open the program it opens with the default C: drive catalog location that it first installed with. Then I open the specific catalog from in the program and relaunch it. I have LR set to bring the dialog box everytime I start LR since I don't use it everyday. So I back it up when the dialog comes up and when it's done it goes right back to the default catalog with none of my library in there.  Why do I have to keep opening the catalog manually?? It's driving me insane at this point. Can someone provide some tips please?? Thanks.

    Double-click the moved catalog and Lr will open with it.
    But in fact, you did not move the catalog at all. you made a backup of your catalog, and that is what you should do.
    But making a backup catalog does not mean that Lr now opens with the backup catalog.
    Having a backup means that there are now 2 catalogs: the "working" catalog and the backup catalog. If you had only one (1) catalog, you wouldn't have a backup.
    Lr still opens and works with your "working" catalog. That is normal and expected.
    If you want to move your "working" catalog do this:
    Close Lr. In your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) move (not copy!) the catalog to a different location. Then double-click the moved catalog and Lr will open with it and will use the new location as "working" catalog. But I recommend that you do not put your "working" catalog on the same drive as the "backup" catalog. If that drive fails, you have neither a "working" nor a "backup" catalog. Not good!
    But I wonder why you would say your drive got full. Usually the catalog doesn't fill a drive, but your photos are.
    Moving the catalog doesn't move your photos.
    What you don't know, maybe, is that the catalog and the photos don't have to be on the same drive. So you can leave your catalog on the C-drive and have your photos somewhere else.
    If you want to move your photos, you best do this in Lr. If you do it in your OS, you will have to re-link the photos and image folders.
    See here on how to do the re-linking:
