Are Links in Textarea possibile ?

| Hello, im searching for a way to display text with clickable links. The functionality should be in the way the HTML links work.But without using the built in HTML viewer (because this depends on the internet explorer) so lets say, i want to have a Clickable Link, like this one or more of them, which i could catch in the main loop, and process it further, deciding what will happen on each link. is this possibile with the bmax language ? like in textarea ? codeboxes, scintilla or whatever else ? Internet functionality is not needed (it is unwanted). |

| Hi TextArea gadget shows only 'text'. Just thinking...A possibile solution is to find the cursor/line position in the textarea and from this 'interpret' if you 'clicked' on a certain word-link. (Another problem is what consider 'click' and what else 'move' the cursor inside...). You should have a SHOWN textarea content and an INTERNAL textarea content (with some pseudo-char code to identify links etc). Not so easy to manage. I don't know if Scintilla has something built-in. |

| Second idea (maybe simpler) : built your 'own' textarea gadget. I think you don't want to 'type' in this gadget, just show your text & links. It will be some labels and links 'managed' in a panel/region. |

| Yes, it should be a Text viewer with clickable links. |
