There were some add-on widget sets (I'm thinking of FLU & maybe Matt's FL_MM stuff) that provided "buttons" that appeared as "clickable links" but, as Albrecht said, I think the only widget we have for doing this in body-text is the help_view. As an aside, once you have your "link" working, the fl_open_uri() functions might be useful - or not, depending on what you really want to do! -- Ian Sent, much to my surprise, from my iPhone _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
