Hyperlink and Scroll CStatic Class

Environment: VC6.0 SP5, Windows 2000, STL

For my project, I need a static control with hyperlink and scroll functions. I found the “CHotStatic – hyperlink CStatic” article. However, the static control can only have one hyperlink, and it does not have the scroll function. So, I expanded it. This class (CScrollHotStatic) is derived from CStatic with multi-hyperlink and scroll functions.

You can use it easily. Just follow these steps:

1. Create a new static control in your resource and add a DDX_Control for it.
2. Change CStatic to CScrollHotStatic in the header file.
3. Use the AddText function to add displayed texts. For example:

  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText
      ("------CScrollHotStaticTestDlg 1.0.0.1------");
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("\tProgram Web Site:");
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("CodeGuru",
                          "www.codeguru.com", 12);
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("MSDN Web Site",
                          "msdn.microsoft.com", 12);
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText(".......");
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("Mail Web Site:");
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("mail.yahoo.com",
                          "mail.yahoo.com", 12);
  m_ctrlHotStatic.AddText("www.hotmail.com",
                          "www.hotmail.com", 12);

The definition is:

  void AddText(LPCTSTR lpStrText, LPCTSTR lpStrLink=NULL,
    DWORD dwStartXPos=0);
  // lpStrText: The string is displayed in control
  // lpStrLink: The link string for this item
  // dwStartXPos: The horizontal position for this item
