Hi Folks! I have a simple question: How can I make a HTTP link in my About Dialog as it can be seen in almost any program? (I use Visual C++) Greetings, Chefbrenner Edited by - Chefbrenner on June 27, 2001 2:02:32 AM

worst-case reply:
use a hyperlink object (they must exist, or making your own should be horibly easy) and create a dialog resource for your dialog, and display that

--Tr][aD--

the links are made by using COM interfaces. i can explain it all to you exactly if you REALLY want to know.

what i meant to say was the IHLink object

You can take this with a grain of salt if I'm wrong, as I know VB (No Laughs please).
But, can't you put a label on that window, then have the mouseclick event call the shellexec api function passing the URL to that function?

Yeah.
The ShellExecute() is an easy way.

Create a Label on the dialog and make sure the "Has Notify" is checked.
Then when that event is called:

ShellExecute(0, "open", "www.omf.com", "", "", 0);
