web link in the GUI

[blizzedout 1]

Quick question, is it possible to add a link that you can click on into the GUI?

Or do i need to make a button that opens up IE and searches the site.

No. Yes... kinda.

You can create a pseudo link by changing the font style of a label.

Something like this:

$lb = GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Google', 0, 0, 60, 15)
GuiCtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000ff)
GuiCtrlSetFont(-1, 8.5, 400, 2)
GuiCtrlSetTip(-1, 'http://www.google.com')

Untested, I just wrote that from memory.

Then in your main loop you can do something like this:

If $GuiGetMsg = $lb Then
     Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start "" "http://www.google.com"')
EndIf

Problem with this of course is that you can't place a "link" in the middle of some text you have going in a label. Not unless you want to try and position another label in just the right spot. That could be fun.

Wow, talk about your delayed response times.

Glad to hear it worked though.

I feel significantly less intelligent having read the page that you got your sig from, Saunders. Oy!

Although I did like some of the Engineer jokes.
