37. Terraview Linking Function – ActiveXObject – Shell run

38. Terraview Delphi Code to link to APEX Uses the Windows ShellExecute API command to force the url to open in a browser. The URL is forced to open in IE as opposed to the system default browser, as IE seems to work better with APEX if (TApex.GetInstance.UseIE) then res := ShellExecute(0, 'open', 'iexplore', PChar(url), nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) else res := ShellExecute(0, 'open', PChar(url), nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL); The function will open a different APEX report depending on the menu button if (Sender = ViewAPEXParcelExtent) then page := TApex.GetInstance.page[20]; url := Format(apex, [Format(page, [XMin, YMin, XMax, YMax])]); OpenURL;

39. Terraview INI Code to link to APEX The URL hotlink that is created uses a.INI file setting or a hard-coded default URL location [Apex]TVP.Path=\\Mistral\TERRAVIEW_HOME\Terraview.exe URL=http://cyclone.local.terralink:7778/apex/f?p=111:%s URL.Parcel=5:::NO:5:P5_PARCEL_ID:%d URL.Title=17:::NO:17:P17_LAND_DISTRICT,P17_REFERENCE:%s,%s URL.Valuation=16:::NO:16:P16_VALREF:%s URL.Address=4:::NO:4:P4_PARCEL_ID:%d MaxReports=10 Use.IE=1
