Place a hyperlink in VB Program


I was wondered about, how to place a website hyperlink in a program.
I searched a lot on the internet but I didn't get it.
The following format was expected by me .

"Created by SACHIN",
where clicking on "SACHIN" would launch the system's default browser and open http://softbysachin.blogspot.com
OR
"Created by sd0389@gmail.com",
where clicking on the e-mail address would launch the system's default mail client such as Outlook etc.

         Then I remembered the shellexecute function which we normally use in Autorun CDs. I searched on internet about shellexecute function, and then I got the library in which the function was located and that was shell32.dll.
         Then I declared a private function in the program as follows :

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long


This function would declare the shell32.dll in the program.
Then I just used shellexecute function as follows in menu.(But you can use it anywhere in the program such as in  a button or a picture etc.)


Private Sub Website_Click()
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "http://softbysachin.blogspot.com/", vbNullString, "", 0
End Sub


That's all,
when you click on the desired button, or text link then the new browser window will open and the desired website will load in it.

Android KitKat is the most recent version of Android till date. It has revamped user interface with smoother animation and lower system hardware requirements. As Android rolled out Android KitKat, it introduced a bunch of new features and modifications in the Android API. 1. Keep mobile data under control We use mobile data everyday. But not all of the carriers do have unlimited data plans. Sometimes we fail to keep an eye on mobile data limit and get a huge bill in return. And as we all know, Android applications hog data a lot because of cloud computing with synchronization. Thanks to Android's built in data monitor which warns you to turn off data when warning limit set by you is exceeded, and turns off data automatically when data plan is exhausted. The data usage monitor even allows to reset the data counter on a particular date. 2. Keep an eye on alarms Alarms are extremely useful for the most of us.
