Subject: CURLPushButton 2.4 - a PowerPlant class
A Metrowerks PowerPlant inherited class geared towards helping your
application
become Internet-savvy. It allows you to put clickable buttons in places
(e.g.
your About box) that will look like a URL in a web browser...click on the
URL
and go right to there! Great for listing the web page for your software,
the email address for contact/support, the ftp site where users can get
updates or whatever you want! You list the text, they can see it, copy it
down, whatever... and then just click and visit it. VERY HANDY!! VERY
COOL!!
The class is even set up that the text of the button can say one thing but
then still visit the URL. For example, the About Box displays your name
and you click on it and it visits your personal web page or something.
Point
is, the button can list the URL text or not...it's a flexible class.
There is a demonstration application included in the archive to help you
see how it works as well as help and tips for implimentation. Furthermore
there is a CTYP file that you can use to aid in the editing process
(for use with Metrowerks Constructor).
For complete information, please read the README file enclosed in the
archive.
Thanx, and enjoy!
