[SOLVED]shellexec replacement

[mbnoimi]

Hi All,

I usually use shellexec in Windows in "onclick" event for opening links is there any replacement for opening links in LCL?

PS
I'm afraid that shellexec will not works in Linux.

ShellExecute has an implementation in Lazarus, but use OpenURL instead.

Use
  OpenDocument(Filename);
or
  OpenURL(FileName);

Both in unit LCLIntf (at least in Lazarus 0.9.29)
