Make some text control or any actveX control to receive click event.

e.g.

www.microsoft.com

and in the click event mapping write the code to shell execute the Internet explorer or Netscape Navigator with command line parameter as your website address.

for this you have to use

ShellExecute() API

best luck.

If you have a hunt through the code samples on CodeGuru, you will find some hyperlink classes which add proper hyperlink-look links. They are configurable and make it look like the real thing.

The search facility should help to get to those samples quicker.
