Hello NG,

does anybody knows how to get this Syslink Control
within the CommonControls 6 running?

I used the examples at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760706(VS.85).aspx
generating a dynamic CommonControl adapting the given
sourcecode on this msdn site and I tried to use the
Syslink Control using VS2008.

First I added a manifest file to my app and the
CommonControls initialize well. (The syslink
created by VS2008 and the dynamic Syslink, apears
in the AboutBox.

Actually I get this WM_NOTIFY (WN_CLICK,WN_ENTER)
event, but could not get the given Url in the Structure item
(see source below)

Additional I tried using just a simple static textcontrol and
this would work fine for me, but the Style doesn't look like
a weblink. If somebody know how to modify a static textcontrols
text to color blue and underline and how to get the Hand
if a user move over the link, it would be good if he give
me some tips (links?), how to do this. I think this would
be the best way. Cause it would work with cc prior to
version 6.0

(dynamic syslink, SyslinkControl and clickable static textcontrol)

You can see, the structure and the var item.szUrl
has not a valid value. What is wrong with my code
If anybody knows to get this working it would be fine
to hear from.

btw: it wouldn't work either, if I adapt all the given sourcecode
for the WM_NOTIFY event from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760706(VS.85).aspx

a) WM_SETFONT (underline)

b) WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC (blue)

c) subclass the control and answer WM_SETCURSOR/WM_MOUSEMOVE and
WM_LBUTTONUP (for hand cursor and click)

It works perfectly for me.
Maybe you mixed unicode and ansi
((LPCSTR)WC_LINK has no sense)
I get item.szUrl = "http://www.google.de" for dynamic SysLink

a) and b) looks good.

But I have no subclassing experience within the WinAPI.

I found this on MSDN:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179398/en-us
But it's VB and I can't VB. I'm using pure C
and the WinAPI and there are no classes in C.
But perhaps something like a wrapper?

Additional I found this in MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997565.aspx
but that means global and instance subclassing,
not a CustomControl and StaticText Control.

Do you have an example or do you know a HowTo (Link?)
for this technic and how to subclass a Control?

btw: Is there a FAQ of c.o.m.p.win32 available?
