Is there any way to make text appear as a link? For example, how do I make an email address showing in a Jtextfield, a link that the user can click on.
After this, then I need to know how to make it bring up a new memo in their e-mail when they click on it. The same with a URL link brining up Internet Explorer.
Any help is appreciated!

Regarding the link, what I can think of is to use java.awt.event API to handle the mouse event. E.g. mousePressed(MouseEvent e) method of MouseListener interface.

You could use the URL class and getText() from the textField to construct a URL, then use openConnection() to connectto it. Here's the Sun tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/urls/index.html
I'm not sure how you could view the page though without reinventing a browser in your program.
