Hi all,
Is it possible to include a hyperlink with an alert message. I'm not finding any information.
I already know about VLA-LAUNCHBROWSERDIALOG, but I'd rather not launch two dialogs if not absolutely necessary.
Thank you.

I'm assuming your talking about the alert function, and if so, the answer is no you cannot include a link with that, but I'm positive there are many other ways you can do that, if you go to www.lee-mac.com there is a popup tool there called "LM:Popup" with it you can ask multiple choice questions like asking the user if they want to follow a link with the dialog and have them select yes or no? But if you want to get even more advanced you can simply use opendcl and make a dialog that will whatever you wish of it.
FWIW - You could also use DOS_TrayWnd

In the mean time, I'm asking the user if they are interested in the content and if yes I just directly open the browser to the url with:
(vl-cmdf "_browser" lnk)
simple enough but I still prefer the OpenDCL method. Thank you all.

I'll have to look when I get back to my dev laptop, but if one is not already available, I'll create a DOSLib Autoloader .bundle and post it to my .bundle thrift shop:

As promised; I've prepared an Autoloader .bundle for DOSLib (v9.0.1) at your local .bundle Thrift Shop, which supports 2010-2014 (R18 & R19), 32 & 64 Bit, and also includes the R17 32 & 64 Bit .ARX files in the event others still use those versions (as Autoloader only supports 2010+).
... Just download the .ZIP file attached at the bottom of the above linked post (free membership may be required), unblock, unzip, and place the resultant "McNeel-DOSLib.bundle" folder here:
%AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\
Cheers

Thank you! it works great.
The install directory is a little different than what you posted:
Program Files\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\
but, simple no nonsense install. Thank you again. Many great tools in here. 🙂
That is kind of you to say, mid-awe :beer:
FWIW - Autoloader supports three different ..\ApplicationPlugins\ folders (depending on which version you're using), all of which support:
%AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\
... So unless you have multiple users that need access to these apps, you can simply move the one I provided here, and all will work normally. Your call.
For more information on Autoloader, Fenton wrote an Autoloader White Paper that was very helpful to me... Don't forget to read the comments at the bottom to avoid some gotchas. :thumbsup:

No worries; I'm happy to help.

FYI -
I have removed the Autoloader .bundle for DOSLib until I can obtain written permission - I know their tool is free, but that may not mean that I can provide this .bundle even though I gain nothing from it (they do) - In any event, it is for them to decide, since it is their work/product as a friend recently educated me (and they're right).
So again, the .bundle has been pulled down, and I will be contacting them providing them links to the two related threads to demonstrate the usage, and a copy of the .bundle I prepared of course for their review.
I can only hope that they will either give me permission, or better still, submit an Autoloader .bundle of their own to Exchange Apps store.
... More info to come, as I get it.
To anyone from, or in communication with McNeel, please accept my apologies for not first asking permission. I'm a long time fan of your product, and was simply attempting to help others gain accessibility to your great tools.
Cheers
