Make a GUI button look like a hyperlink?

[thepip3r]

Instead of buttons with borders around them, is there a UDF or way to make a button without the backgrounds, borders, etc? and make it emulate a web hyperlink in a gui? I've searched a bunch of forums for "gui hyperlinks", "hyperlinks", "hyperlinks in forms", etc and can't find anything related... anyone know a link that might point me in the right direction? TIA.

The easiest thing to do about that, is to put the hyperlink in a different color, so that it looks like a hyperlink, and maybe put the changed cursor on mouseover,(the hand one) and when it is pressed, use an _IECreate("www.google.com) function.
