Useful code for your user code pages:
Redirect link to a page with a title different from the label on the link:
proc --> {label target} {
return "\[%$label|showpage [list $target]%\]"
}Usage:
[@--> "This is quite a large link label" "Short Page Name"@]
WHD: This feature is built-in as of V2.1.0. See the V2.1.0 release notes [L1 ].
GC 20 September 2003 :
Create magic buttons to visit a internet site (Ex: Windows with Internet Explorer) Constitution of a links library

A better solution :
# Create a button
proc -> {name} {
return "\[%$name |goToExecution $name%\]"
}
proc goToExecution {args} {
set prg ""
set extension [file extension $args]
switch -regexp $extension {
".doc" { set prg "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/WINWORD.EXE"}
".htm*" { set prg "C:/Program Files/Plus!/Microsoft Internet/IEXPLORE.EXE"}
".pdf" { set prg "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 5.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe"}
".tcl" { set prg "C:Program Files/UltraEdit/UEDIT32.EXE"}
default {return}
}
exec $prg "$args" &
}Usage in a page of my Notebook for edit or view something :

...
Btw, if using the user code from https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/9496 , also add: "" { set prg "C:/windows/explorer.exe"} so you can also open folders! Hey this is from Lawrence, [email protected] tcl/tk really rocks!

Files, web pages, and applications can be launched much more easily in Windows with the start.exe command. See my example of proc start in http://tcl.projectforum.com/notebook/52 .
