Clickable Link to a Web Site

[Vladiator]

Is there a way to add a link to a LabVIEW Front Panel so when you run the VI and click on the link, it will open a specified URL using the default browser?

Thanks!

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\vi.lib\Platform\browser.llb\Open URL in Default Browser (path).vi

Not sure where it is in the palettes - I just snarfed the above path from my code.

To be more specific, you can have a disabled string control on the FP with the URL and then use a mouse down event on that string to call the VI.

This idea never gained much traction.

Sounds like an ideal opportunity for a little XControl.

This would hide all the fluff required to make it highlight on mouse over and open a web-browsed on selection.

I had posted a starter example here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/NI-Example-Finder-Like/m-p/1023011#M455994

Thank you - this is the best example yet. I've added the code that Steve Bird suggested above and here is the VI based on your example attached.

Thank you all!
