Use the ShellExecute function in that button click event.

syntax:

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(
		_In_opt_  HWND hwnd,
		_In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpOperation,
		_In_      LPCTSTR lpFile,
		_In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpParameters,
		_In_opt_  LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
		_In_      INT nShowCmd
		);

for eg:

ShellExecute(0,0,"www.google.com",0,0,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

when you click on that button the default browser automatically opens with that URL.

All The Best.
