title: How to capture an URL Open Event?
body: <p>I have searched Google for URL Open Event for a long time, but Google just gives me inappropriate results...</p>
  
  <p>Actually, I would like to know what happens when an application opens up an external URL.</p>
  
  <p>For example, when someone sends you a link through Skype, you click the link and Skype will prompt you to IE/Chrome or other default browsers. I would like to know how to capture the event that opens up the browser. I do not want to set my application as default browser.</p>
  
  <p>VB.net may have a limited function, if there is no way to achieve this, it is OK to give me a way of how to do it in C# or c++.</p>
  
  <p>I absolutely have no idea on how to do this. Hope that someone can give me a hint :(</p>

  <p>Add On:
  Maybe my question is not clear. What I need to do is not opening an URL.
  I would like to make an application to open up an URL through my application. For example, when I click the link on Skype. I want my application to grab the link that Skype was trying to open up instead of bring me up to a browser.</p>
