Does anyone know if it is possible to make a button which, when pressed, links to a web address?

Please help if anyone knows,

Thanks

can you please tell us... where do you wanna appear that button link???

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I would like to make a button on the logon window where the windows logo normally is.

I think nunoperalta has done it in his beach messenger but I am not sure. You could contact him.

what nuno did... is not a button itself... is just a hyperlink next to a little image...

and for that just search for this in 947 definition file:

code:

---

<urlelem Class="CommonLink" contentalign=middleleft|endellipsis id=atom(idForgotPasswordLink) cmdid=737/>

---

then add this string before if you want a hyperlink:

code:

---

<urlelem class="CommonLink" layout=borderlayout() url="YOUR_URL">
<Element Content="HYPERLINK_TEXT" class="CommonLink" />
</urlelem>

---

or this for an image button:

code:

---

<urlelem class="CommonLink" layout=borderlayout() url="YOUR_URL">
<Element layoutpos=left content=rcimg(ID_OF_YOUR_IMG) />
</urlelem>

---

(I putted layoutpos=left and that will be showing at left... but you can put wherever you want it...)

or this for a hyperlink next to an image (like nuno did):

code:

---

<urlelem class="CommonLink" layout=borderlayout() url="YOUR_URL">
<Element layoutpos=left content=rcimg(ID_OF_YOUR_IMG) />
<Element Content="HYPERLINK_TEXT" class="CommonLink" />
</urlelem>

---

IMPORTANT: you must replace the strings that are in capital letters with their respective contents!!!!

Note: you can do new class and add it to those links replacing the CommonLink string with it... and then you can play with the look of that hyperlink...

Thanks for the help, Ill try that and see if it works

ToolBar icons don't have hover and pressed states...
