I want my Visual C++ app to display a hyper-link so that the user can click on it and have his default browser open the web-site I designate.  I am using MS VisualC++ 6.0.  Does anyone know how to do this?
 
Dear DoctorC,<br><br>I'm assuming you know how to handle the mouse click.<br><br>To launch the default browser and send it an URL look at the API's ShellExecute() and ShellExecuteEx()<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete
 
Thanks Pete<br>I havent had time to work on it, but I appreciate the tip<br>DoctorC
