Author: Ahto Tanner

version 1.1 (july 21, 1996), no functional changes, only code optimized :)
Please read the NOTE at the end of next paragraph.


What is URL Label?
==================
It's just ordinary label, but you can run URL-s and files by clicking
on it. For example you include your products home page URL in about box,
but now enduser can quickly access to the page by only clicking the label
and system's default browser is opened...
On mouse move over this label, pointer is changed to "pointing hand",
similar to links in WWW browsers.

Added only property URL. If this is empty, string for running is
taken from caption. This means when your label's caption is set to
"http://www.windows95.com" and property "URL" is empty, caption string
will be run. "URL" is searched first and if it is empty, then caption
goes...
"Why this "URL" at all?" you ask. Suppose you want to send mail to
ahto@estpak.ee. Then you write this address to caption, but you must
write "mailto:ahto@estpak.ee" to "URL". It is useful also for running
other documents:
Caption := 'Click here to run notepad' and URL :='notepad.exe'

NOTE!!! Seems that internet shortcuts mailto, http, ftp etc. are added
to the registry ONLY by Internet Explorer, so you (or your clients)
cannot use them with Netscape. This means that mailto: is NOT working with
Netscape Navigator by UrlLabel. The best way is use that component only
for WWW URL-s and write THE WHOLE URL to URL property, i.e.

UrlLabel1.URL := 'http://www.estpak.ee/~ahto/index.html'
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^
This quarantees, that browser associated with .html extension will run
and works with any browser (if installed in system of cource :).
