Hello,
I'm new to powerapps and I wanted to create a button that open a link on IE, is there a way to do that?
Thanks and Best Regards
You can just use Launch("www.weblocation.com") and it will do that. Which browser it will open depends on the default the user has selected. I don't know of any way to specify that part.
@rebeccas is correct, this will launch using the default browser set in that particular machine's Windows settings - you cannot specify which browser to use to launch a link from within PowerApps.
Thank you, its sad that there is no way to specify what browser to use
Well, it's more of a Windows thing than a PowerApps thing - PowerApps runs in a browser, and your browser doesn't have the ability to access and run local executable (.exe) files, as this would be a massive security risk. There are some minor differences when it comes to the mobile phone, but effectively it is still not able to access any non-standard mobile phone functions.
Think about it this way:
If it was able to run the Internet Explorer .exe file then what stops it from running the Format command and wiping your computer or running a remote access command and giving someone remote access to your computer?
