However in this well-known case "I've a problem with Java resp. JRE - What to do?" I would make an exception here as it is easier for the average user to remember "openoffice.org/java/" resp. "openoffice.org/xx/java/". Yes, it's in the dialog box but IMHO not clickable - as long no core developer will create this functionality. <orcmid> I think there is the same problem with java.html versus java.htm as well. "openoffice.org/java" is just easier and more-flexible at the destination. Concerning message boxes. I don't think there is an east way to use standard message-box resources to produce a URL. We are talking about GUI work instead, and having it be internationalized. I think this takes us too far from the least that can possibly work -- and assist users immediately. [Side Note: This might be possible with a button for Help though. Or put the URL in a button label. I have not checked further, but the idea came up in the WinForms case at <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1833747/clickable-url-in-a-winform-message-box>. I am a bit wary of live links in dialog boxes. Unlike browser links, it is not easy for the user to know that the link is to the location indicated in the message. We are also creating a small problem with having a URL at all, since derivatives and knock-offs probably won't change the messages. In this case, having users taken care of seems to have clear precedence. </orcmid> Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
