C++: Handle the Syslink click event

Once you have the SysLink control working, you can respond to link clicks by adding a notification listener to your parent window.

01.case WM_NOTIFY: {

02.  LPNMHDR pnmh = (LPNMHDR) lParam;

03. 

04.  // If the notification came from the syslink control

05.  if (pnmh->idFrom == IDC_SYSLINK_WEBSITE) {

06.    // NM_CLICK is the notification is normally used.

07.    // NM_RETURN is the notification needed for return keypress, otherwise the control is not keyboard accessible.

08.    if ((pnmh->code == NM_CLICK) || (pnmh->code == NM_RETURN)) {

09.      // Recast lParam to an NMLINK item because it also contains NMHDR as part of its structure

10.      PNMLINK link = (PNMLINK) lParam;

11. 

12.      ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", link->item.szUrl, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

13.    }

The link->item.szUrl field is the "href" given in the syslink control markup.
