Clicking a link in wxHtmlWindow ...

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi,

Is there any reason why a local anchor gets caught by
EVT_HTML_LINK_CLICKED, but when I add a HTTP link this gets bypassed?

I would like to open an external browser upon clicking a web site url,
but the default handler seems to always load it from the internet
inside the wxHtmlWindow.

I tried to obfuscate the link by adding something like;

<a href="external:http://etc.com">http://etc.com</a>

But it seems the internal manager gets clever and notices the http://
signature inside the string and still bypasses the OnLinkClicked
handler.

Since I am creating my GUI from XRC, it's not preferred to add a
handler to create a custom html window with overridden OnOpeningURL
virtual functions.

Is there any other way to bypass this default behavior?

Regards,
