Email link in GUI dialog box

Hi,

I've developed an application and on the front page, the ABOUT button opens a small window containing with version number and contact details to get help, i.e. name, phone number and email address. Is it possible to embed the email address as a 'mailto' link as opposed to standard text?

Thanks Celine

You can create a button, which calls WEB in the callback:

web('mailto:[e-mail]');

Yair has described how a borderless button can be drawn: Undocumented:Borderless button. If you use this, care for at least an underlined style, otherwise the user does not get the impression, that this is a link.

Brilliant, thanks for your help, it works perfectly.

Here's a demo.

In that demo, replace this line

th.ButtonDownFcn = @(~,~)web('mathworks.com'); 

with this

th.ButtonDownFcn = @(~,~)web('mailto:[e-mail]');
