1. Hyperlink in a message box

Has anyone ever coded a message box to come up with a hyperlink in it, that the user can use to go to something on the Internet? For example, in my program for a particular functionality, I need the user to install another application. So, after checking the registry, and finding it is not there, I put up a message box with the URL to find that application. But the URL is not clickable.

I am using Enhanced IDE version 1.0.4 and win32lib Version: 0.70.4a

Thanks.

Do you need to display the hyperlink? Couldn't you just ask them if they want to go download the software, and if they click Yes, launch the website? Example:

    atom result 
     
    result = message_box( "You do not have Program X installed.\n" & 
        "Would you like to download it now?", "Missing Program", 
        MB_ICONQUESTION + MB_YESNO ) 
     
    if result = IDYES then 
        shellExecute( "open", "http://www.google.com/", SW_SHOWNORMAL ) 
    end if
