When somebody presses a button, how do I make that button go to a place on the web?

Like if I make a command button, and it says CEF, how do I make it so the person who clicks the button could go to CEF?

Google is your friend, use ShellExecute.

CreateProcess() would be a better choice than ShellExecute().

If you want to load it up using the default web browser, you can look in the registry for it.

To use CreateProcess() it would look something like this
Code:

CreateProcess(<Program path>, L"-url http://forum.cheatengine.org", NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);   

si is a STARTUPINFO struct.
pi is a PROCESS_INFORMATION struct.

I've created a little program that would demonstrate how to: Get the default web browser and open it up with the URL. It's done in c++. Also, here is the source if you want to learn (beware, it isn't the most optimized code you'll see).

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
   HKEY hKey;
   TCHAR cData[MAX_PATH];
   DWORD dwDataSize;
   DWORD dwType = 0;
   LPCTSTR lpSubKey = L"SOFTWARE\\Classes\\HTTP\\shell\\open\\command";

   LONG isSuccess = 0;
   isSuccess = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, lpSubKey, NULL, KEY_QUERY_VALUE, &hKey);

   if (isSuccess == ERROR_SUCCESS)
   {
      isSuccess = RegQueryValueEx(hKey, NULL, NULL, &dwType, (LPBYTE)cData, &dwDataSize);
      if (isSuccess == ERROR_SUCCESS)
      {
         TCHAR* c;
         c = (TCHAR*)memchr(cData, '-', dwDataSize);
         cData[c - cData] = 0;

         bool isThere = true;
         do
         {
         c = (TCHAR*)memchr(cData, '\"', dwDataSize);
         if (c == NULL)
         {
            isThere = false;
         }
         else
         {
            cData[c - cData] = 32;
         }
         } while (isThere);

         if (cData[0] == 32)
         {
            for (DWORD i = 0; i < dwDataSize; i++)
            {
               if (cData[i] == 0)
               {
                  break;
               }
               cData[i] = cData[i + 1];
            }
         }

         STARTUPINFO si;
         PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

         ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
         si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);

         CreateProcess(cData, L"-url http://www.bungie.net", NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);         
      }
   }
   return 0;
}

Thats a bit overkill just to launch a browser.. ShellExecute will automatically do basically what you just did and launch the systems default browser already. No reason not to use ShellExecute.

if ur using .NET then you cud just use Process Start

C++
System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("url");

C# & VB

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("url");

if not, then ShellExecute

Don't use the cheatengine strings. Some GG's detect it. Use variables like:
a := 'http://forum.cheat';
b := 'engine.org';

It works (well as far as I know).
