Emulating hyperlink functionality in datawindow text fields

The idea is rather simple. Some datawindow (not web datawindow) varchar fields contain detailed descriptions. I was wondering if it is possible to provide the following (wikipedia-like) functionality to users: The ability to click (or dbl-click or whatever) on开发者_如何学C specific words of the text, while reading (which somehow should be indicated as clickable - it would be perfect if they could be colored blue but I don't think this is possible) and open a relevant window (or response). Do you think something like this could be implemented?

To achieve the colour, you could use a rich text edit style if you're using PB 11.5.

For the hyperlink functionality, I'd try to leverage the Clicked event, trying to identify with SelectedStart() what word has been clicked and then whether or not it is a hyperlink. The column would need to have TabOrder so that a click would place the cursor in the text.

Good luck,

Terry.

if you use a RTF datawindow you can insert hyperlinks (in whatever colour or style you wish)
