Hey All,

I did a search for “browser windows”, but only came across answers to having this work on a website. How can I have a button open a browser window while being a stand-alone application in Windows? I would like the browser window to pick a whole directory, not a file.

I thought maybe using getURL, but I still am having no luck.

Thanks!
