Roger Whitcomb updated PIVOT-977:
---------------------------------
Attachment: 977.patch
The "977.patch" file implements this component, including a couple of test
programs to illustrate the functionality. The button content by default will
be the URI or URL string, but it can be set to any text desired, and/or a text
and icon (just like any other button).
The only additional thing I was considering was a listener for changes to the
URI/URL on this button. Not sure if this is really necessary.

> The appearance of a LinkButton is the same as an HTML hyperlink, but actually
> using it to implement a hyperlink is rather involved. So, it would be nice
> if there was a specialized component (subclass of LinkButton) that actually
> implements the hyperlink functionality, using the standard Java
> "Desktop.browse(URI)" method, so it is quite simple to implement a real
> hyperlink within an application.
