I want to put a clickable URL in my "About" panel:
http://foobar.com/
I'm guessing that wx.StaticText(), an EVT_LEFT_DOWN, and Python's
webbrowser will do the trick, but I wanted to see if anyone on the list
had already done this?

Hi Chuck,
I do this using a flattened button (so it looks just like a static text or bitmap). The attached probably has a few outside dependencies that I'm forgetting to include, but should give the general idea.

Thanks for all the code, Tim. Ultimately, I found that
setForegroundColor() and EVT_LEFT_UP() on a static text did the trick
for me.

You may not want to do this since the wxStaticText widget on some platforms does not get mouse events. (For example, on wxGTK the native widget is not a true window but is just drawn on the parent...) Instead you may want to use the generic static text class from wxPython.lib.stattext.

Hmmm, you sure? I just ran my code on GTK/Linux and other than the
webbrowser module bitching that it can't find a suitable web browser,
it seems to work. I subclass wx.StaticText and hook into the "left up"
event.

I guess something has changed...
