wxhyperlinkctrl

this class shows a static text element which links to an url. appearance and behaviour is completely customizable. in fact, when the user clicks on the hyperlink, a wxhyperlinkevent is sent but if that event is not handled (or it's skipped; see wxevent::skip), then a call to wxlaunchdefaultbrowser is done with the hyperlink's url.

note that standard wxwindow functions like setbackgroundcolour, setfont, setcursor, setlabel can be used to customize appearance of the hyperlink.
