How to create hyperlink in front panel like what we did in frontpage?

I'm using labview 4.0 for mac os 8.1. and looking for a way to create web and e-mail hyperlink, anyone can tell me how to do that?

You will not be making a true hyperlink as LV doesn't ahve html support
built in. You have a number of choices to do this such as responding to
a button and using Apple Events to invoke another program to do the
email or web application. I was never too into Apple Events, but I
believe there is a common Open with parameters that might get you what
you want.

You might also check on the internet toolkit, but I'm not sure when it
was released relative to 4.0. And if this doesn't work for you, you
might look at upgrading to LV7, the last supported release for OS9, and
using SMTP for email and there is a VI to open t
he default browser to a
URL in the palettes.
