Hi Steve,
Nicholas supplied you with the info for using clickChunks, but here is some additional stuff on using linktext.
- enter your text in a field
- select a chunk that you want to make into a link
- go to the Text menu and set it's style to "Link"
- if you are using the default settings, the text will go blue & underlined, like the link on a web page.
- when you have finished setting all the links you want, lock the text of the field
- edit the script of field to include a linkClicked handler e.g.
on linkClicked pLink
-- pLink contains the complete text of the clicked link
if pLink contains "@" then
revMail pLink
else if pLink contains "http" then
revGoUrl pLink
else
-- do something else
end if
end linkClickedAs a further refinement, you can make the linkText of a selected chunk into something other than it's text.
Suppose you wanted a link to Google. In your field, type the single word "Google" and set it's style to Link
In the MessageBox, type: set the linkText of word 1 of fld "MyField" to "http://www.google.com";
and press Enter.
When the field is locked and you click on Google, the parameter passed to the linkClicked handler will actually be "http://www.google.com";
Cheers, Sarah

Folks:
I'm new to Revolution and I'd like basic, step-by-step instructions on making text in a field clickable. I've gone through the Rev docs but can't seem to get anything to work.
Please note that I have never attempted this type of thing before so some things that may be obvious aren't for me. For example, when I enter code, where exactly do I enter it? As a card, object, or stack script?
Sorry for the annoyance. I've managed to build a simple stack using buttons but I'd prefer to use links and clickcable lists if possible.
Thanks.
Steve
