How to link a label to open web page in unenvated process

Hi guys!

I am trying add label to left-bottom at morden.exe-105:

CONTROL "", 2019, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 50, 201, 45, 10

My install is elevated process.
But it is not working.

Code:

Unicode true
!include "MUI2.nsh"
Page Custom Page1
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_DIRECTORY
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE English
Var /GLOBAL Arial8_Normal_U
Var /GLOBAL LB_Link
Function Page1
    CreateFont $Arial8_Normal_U 'Arial' '8.25' '400' /UNDERLINE
    nsDialogs::Create 1044
    Pop $R0
    ${If} $R0 == error
        Abort
    ${EndIf}
    GetDlgItem $LB_Link $HWNDPARENT 2019
    SendMessage $LB_Link ${WM_SETFONT} $Arial8_Normal_U 0
    SendMessage $LB_Link ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 'STR:Text-to-google'
    SetCtlColors $LB_Link FE0000 transpanrent
    GetFunctionAddress $R0 GO_HOMEPAGE
    nsDialogs::OnClick $LB_Link $R0
    nsDialogs::Show
FunctionEnd
Function GO_HOMEPAGE
    ShellExec 'open' 'http://google.com'
FunctionEnd

Have you tried adding a MessageBox to GO_HOMEPAGE to make sure it is called correctly?

nsDialogs::OnClick might only work for nsDialogs created controls and it might not work for static controls. Also, nsDialogs has a link control you can use but it only works in a custom page.

Then you can't use nsDialogs onClick handling for non-nsDialogs controls. There is a ButtonEvent plug-in on the wiki but I don't know if it works on static controls.

Thank Anders.

I tried ButtonEvent plug-in on Win10 x64, Static Label
Result, not working 🙁 (but Button, working fine).

I assume you are talking about anti-virus? Upload to VirusTotal and you should see that it is mostly clean. Then uninstall that anti-virus application...

What about using the Linker plug-in? https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Linker_plug-in

It is designed exactly for this purpose and it is really easy to use...
