I haven't done anything like this, but if I were going to I think I'd=20
use an FXButton widget as a jumping-off point. The default frame=20
options for an FXButton cause it to be drawn with a "raised" and=20
"thick" border (i.e. the FRAME_RAISED and FRAME_THICK options). If you=20=

change these settings, either at construction time:

	flatButton =3D FXButton.new(parent, text, tgt, sel,=20
JUSTIFY_NORMAL|ICON_BEFORE_TEXT, ...)

or after:

	flatButton =3D FXButton.new(...)
	flatButton.frameStyle =3D FRAME_NONE

you'll get a button that looks like an FXLabel, but is still clickable.=20=

You could then wire-up the command handler for the button to launch a=20
web browser (or whatever):

	flatButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) {
		system("mozilla")
	}

What I'm not sure about is whether there's a way to draw the label text=20=

underlined, so that it will look like a traditional hyperlink.

Hope this helps,
