Hi All, 
   Yes, we can dynamically create a button so as to
generate the event over the text so as to form an
hyperlink. Its quite cumbersome to get the exact
coordinate so that the newly placed controls are
sometimes not overlapping the text and comes to the
next line. How do we find the exact coordinate in
which we have to place the control,  such that the
control is within the line in the text field. 

In nutshell, When ever i select a word in the
textfield, I have to create an hyperlink. 
event->screenX and event->screenY didn't produce the
coordinate which i need (that is in the beginning of
the word. or begining of the selected word.) 

Thanks inAdv. 
  Shawn.

One can dynamically create a button with no frame then
draw a text box on top wit the required
text or just set the label on the button. This will
give you a control whic automatically inverts
ang generates a event when pressed
