Simple example.

To WM_CREATE/WM_INITDIALOG:

Code:

stdcall ConvertStaticToHyperlink,[hWndParent],ID_LINK

To WM_COMMAND/ID_LINK:

Code:

invoke GetDlgItemText,[hWndParent],ID_LINK,string_buffer,sizeof.string_buffer
invoke ShellExecute,0,"Open",string_buffer,0,0,SW_SHOWNORMAL

...and any static becomes a clickable link.

Of course, the static text doesn't need to match the URL - I just like to inform the user where they are going.

I've done a conversion of the above example for Win64 - using the new Subclassing API, and added the abliity to change the link color (by updating the control property). Please let me know of errors.

Wow, i didn't know that such an effort is needed for a hyperlink. Thanks for the example.

A custom control might be more appropriate to the task, but that wouldn't demonstrate sub-classing. Here the goal is to reuse an existing control interface with small changes to improve the user's experience.
