launching Adobe Reader from wxHTMLwindow

[Greg]

I have some html code that is displayed on a wxHTMLwindow in a Python
application. One of the ahref links is to a pdf document. When I
click the link, I get what appears to be some sort of header material
for a pdf document, but Adobe Reader doesn't start. Is there a
special call I will have to use in the HTML code instead of ahref to
get Reader to launch?

You chould subclass wxHtmlWindow and implement the OnLinkClicked methos:
def OnLinkClicked(self, linkinfo):
# do something with linkinfo.GetHref()

That "something" could be a system command to open the Href with the
default app for that file type.

Thanks Andrei, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do that, although
it seems easy enough. It appears to be not an issue now as we're
launching a tab using wxIEHtmlWin for the service documentation, and
Adobe Reader launches from there just by using the *.pdf link.
