I'm having some trouble generating a clickable URL text control in LEO 3.4(2).

Here's the screen (the control of interest is the blue URL)

[Linked Image]

Here's the Properties dialog:

[Linked Image]

(I also set the font color and attributes to blue underline, which doesn't show in the above image, but that part is working fine.)

The generated code quotes the label string in the ctext parameter, but not "exitcode" string in cmd parameter.

Code
       xcall AUI, AUI_CONTROL, CTLOP_ADD, "atecfx.stcURL", "http://www.microsabio.com", 0, &
           MBF_STATIC+MBF_KBD+MBF_SHLEXC, http://www.microsabio.com, "", NUL_CSTATUS, &
           9250, 4, 10500, 42, 16711680, -2, 2, 120, "", "", "atecfx.tab_2"
It's not a major problem, but forces me to manually insert the quotes into the generated code each time I regenerate it. I'm guessing that this is just a simple glitch relating to the fact that the "ShellEx" option is not common, but perhaps there is something else going on.

I'll email you the .leo file so you can experiment with it. (No urgency on this.)

The EXITCODE field is a combo of standard virtual keys accepting other values and, the logic behind it for generated code is:
"if the value starts with VK, quote it else, consider the literal value, unquoted, for the CMD argument of the AUI command."
In my case, when not using VK values, I always use DEFINES for standard exitcodes (e.g. BVK_SAVE, BVK_DEL, ...) that can't be quoted so, to cover the SHELLEX case, where CMD is a command to be executed, just add the quotes to the EXITCODE value, that become (literaly) "http://www.microsabio.com".

It seemed like I tried that and found the quotes getting removed, but that was quite possibly because of some confusion in the A-Shell quoting/unquoting of comma delimited output and input. However, I just tried it now and it seems to stick, so thanks for the advice and sorry for the silly question.
