Is there a way to add a link to a website/Facebook or any other on the front interfase?
Looking to add some marketing to my VIs

But can you add a clickable link to your interface?

@d-healey no it's not clickable in floatingtitle.
But is there a way to make clickable area with a panel or image with java code?
I couldn't find the solution on the forum.

There you go :)

- added `Engine.openWebsite()` scripting method · christophhart/HISE@a26722b

@christoph-hart You really should add a paypal donation button somewhere. Or setup a patreon page.

Incredible, great thank you so much Christoph, what a speed coding art!!!! :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I agree with @d-healey

I've tried to use Engine.openWebsite(); with a button like below but I couldn't. How can we do that?

const var GoToWebSite_Button = Content.getComponent("GoToWebSite_Button");


inline function onGoToWebSite_ButtonControl(component, value)
{
	GoToWebSite_Button.Engine.openWebsite(https://www.orange.com);
};

Content.getComponent("GoToWebSite_Button").setControlCallback(onGoToWebSite_ButtonControl);

I agree!

@orange
no need to reference the button before the Engine :)
will suffice:

const var Button1 = Content.getComponent("Button1");

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
    Engine.openWebsite("http://www.rbemis.com/orange/index.html");
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

Here a variant with a Panel with written text:
(u have to create a Panel Component named LinkPanel with height ~100/20px in the Interface designer and set allowCallbacks to "Clicks only" )

const var LinkPanel = Content.getComponent("LinkPanel");

LinkPanel.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
    g.setColour(Colours.cornflowerblue);
    g.drawText("website.com", [0,0,100,15]);
});

LinkPanel.setMouseCallback(function(event)
{
	if (event.doubleClick)
	  Engine.openWebsite("http://www.rbemis.com/orange/index.html");
});

for more mouseCallback behaviours you can check: http://hise.audio/manual/ScriptPanel.php#122callbackeventproperties

greets,

@christoph-hart wow u rock!!! Hoping to do some "share for activate" or something. Donation is also a good idea. Maybe setting split payment so u can grab a % of it (Stripe?)

@dominik-mayer Thank you so much, these are great solutions.

[Christoph Hart]

Well I'll think about that Patreon thingie :)

@Dominik-Mayer: You don't need to require a Panel to have certain properties, just set it via scripting calls:

const var LinkPanel = Content.getComponent("LinkPanel");

LinkPanel.set("width", 100);
LinkPanel.set("height", 20);
LinkPanel.set("allowCallbacks", "Clicks only");

LinkPanel.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
    g.setColour(Colours.cornflowerblue); // LOL

    // This method is bad (it squashes the text if the height doesn't match...
    //g.drawText("website.com", [0,0,100,15]);

    // Use this method instead
    g.drawAlignedText("website.com", [0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()], "centred");
});

LinkPanel.setMouseCallback(function(event)
{
	if (event.doubleClick)
	  Engine.openWebsite("http://www.rbemis.com/orange/index.html");
});
