/* It's getting quite common these days to place a URL to a web site in about boxes. But how do you this in a typical MFC app? Well, first you need a static which will respond to being clicked. Let's assume you have a static named IDC_URL in your dialog, which has as its text the URL for your website. You need to apply the SS_NOTIFY style to this static (i.e. check the Notify checkbox in the static's properties dialog). Then you need to override the WM_COMMAND handler for the dialog which hosts the static, and place code something like that below in it: */ BOOL CTestbed2Dlg::OnCommand(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { CString csURL; if (HIWORD(wParam) == STN_CLICKED) { if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDC_URL) { FromHandle ((HWND)lParam)->GetWindowText (csURL); ShellExecute (GetSafeHwnd(), "open", csURL, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); return TRUE; } } return (CDialog::OnCommand(wParam,lParam)); }
