I normally don't use Chrome. But there is a site that (apparently) was not tested with Firefox, and it doesn't work with Firefox.

 

I'm trying to make a voice command to open only that site via Chrome.

 

If I do this...

 

...The site opens in my default browser. And if I do this:

 

 

...Chrome opens. But I can't figure out how to combine the two. I thought the obvious solution would be something like this, but the script fails:

 

I thought I had figured it out, but no. This still opens in my default browser, even though I have specified Chrome.

 

How about an old-school approach:

Assuming your Chrome on desktop is labelled as Google Chrome (if not, substitute that name instead):

I named this command, Start Amazon, and it works, opening in Chrome, which is not my default browser.

 

 

HeardWord "open","Google Chrome"

Wait 2

SendDragonKeys "Amazon.com"

Wait .2

SendDragonKeys "{Enter}"

 

MDH

 

-------------------------

If not Mark's approach then try ShellExecute for bringing up URL addresses direct from any browser.  AppBringUp only has a parameter for starting directories. Note that there is a space between "chrome.exe" and "http…"

 

Sub Main

ShellExecute "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe http://www.knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/index.cfm"

End Sub

 

With KnowBrainer I added a function called OpenWebsite where you can specify the browser you want the URL to open with. After opening the KnowBrainer command wizard just click on the ? then Contents | KnowBrainer Scripting Extensions where you will find scripting extensions like "OpenWebsite" and "DisplayNumbersAndClick".

Hi Mark and Lindsay,

Thank you for your suggestions. The ShellExecute approach has been working nicely!

I was just starting to try to figure out how to do this and came across this thread, which saved me a lot of time. Thanks, everyone!

I'm actually doing this in Vocola with ShellExecute and it works perfectly.
