Excerpt of article text...

At one point in time or another, almost all REALbasic developers will want to integrate a click-able URL inside of their application. And thanks to REALcode's CURLLinkButton control, anybody can do this!

CURLLinkButton is simple to use: you need to drag the class into your project window first, then you create a canvas control, set its "super" class to CURLLinkButton, type a few lines of code (documented in the Read Me), and run the program. Not only does it resize itself to the exact size of your link, it also handles drawing and going to the URL that you indicated.

Several methods let you customize the appearance of your new link. You can set a special cursor when the mouse is hovering over the link, change the font and size of the text, and more. You can even change the text that's displayed to something other than the URL, and it still works perfectly.

...End of Excerpt. Please purchase the magazine to read the full article.
