Randy Birc #2 / 4	Opening a Webbrowser Check this example that uses a label .. http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/intrinsic/sehyperlink.htm For more ShellExecute methods, see http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/shell/shellexecute.htm -- Randy Birch MVP Visual Basic http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit. * If you call the Sleep API in Bill's latest, will it have .NET dreams? * Quote: > Is there anyone who can tell me how to create a link from > a visual basic form to a web page.

You can create a UserControl with a label on it, and give it a property for an URL. Then on the Click event for the label you call UserControl.Hyperlink.NavigateTo URL It's straightforward enough to set the Font, Caption, hot spot stuff etc, and it's all much easier to make reusable. The only difficult part is if you want the UserControl to be like a transparent label, in which case, for a one off, it is almost certainly easier to do it the way you suggest. -- Trevor Prinn Babbacombe Computers Ltd http://www.babbacom.com
