I was only an interested bystander. Microslip originally asked the question, and while browsing I thought I could use that idea myself so I tried it.

You're probably right that something else in my machines settings are askew so hopefully it works for Microslip and others.

I'll revisit it at another time as I'd like to make a nice little "html link" control which subclasses an ordinary label, but interprets (and highlights and tracks) http:// references, launching them if pressed.

All I want that for is my Help|About screen

It was a good reply you made to Microslip anyhow Gen-X so don't think I was being unkind by saying it didn't work for me

Catch you later
