Insert hyperlink in Lookout Application

[Sudhi Mukherjee]

I would like to know if there is a way to insert a hyperlink in a Lookout Panel. I would like to connect it to a file - such as User Manual(s), document(s), etc. I am using Lookout 5.0. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a small trick for doing this:

You will use the Run Object to launch the Internet Explorer along with the argument, which would be the web URL in your case, for example:

"iexplore www.bbc.co.uk"

Connect a PushButton to the Run Object. Create the PushButton with a transparent background and for the text of the button use the web URL.. change the text color to blue to make it look 'n feel like a heperlink.. 🙂

Expericment with the Run object as you may have to inser some extra " (quotes) to get it to work. Here's a KB article which may be helpful:
