Hello

Check out this function in DBP



Can any of you guys give me some pointers on how I would go about writing the equivalent as a TPC DLL, as I have an idea for a plugin that would use this.

Thanks.

you could do it by calling the windows api function or you could load it up as a dll and run it, i'd use the api version as it is easier

Ive done it now thank you

I used the windows api function in urlmon.lib to do it. This will work wonders for my plugin.
