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. > Specialized component to implement an HTML hyperlink > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-977 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-977 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: wtk > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: All > Reporter: Roger Whitcomb > Assignee: Roger Whitcomb > Priority: Minor > Labels: hyperlink, linkbutton > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: 977.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
