Clickable banners in your application

[Arkie]

I've wrote a class that you can use to create clickable banners in your application(s)
For more info here: http://www.engineeringser...annerlinkclass-available/

Download the ClickableBannerLink.class here: http://www.engineeringser...ClickableBannerLink.class
Demo of how to use the class:

Code

GeSHi (inno):
package engineeringserver.comUtilityPackage;
public class Main {
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------
//    Author List:
//      deAppel                    <creator>
//
//    Description:
//        Load a remote banner with / without a custom link
//        This version requires firefox to be located in: C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe
//        Ark de Appel - www.engineeringserver.com
//    ----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
public static void main(String[] args){
String custLink = "http://www.engineeringserver.com/blog/";
String custBanner ="http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/9509/javacommunityqa8.png";
 
ClickableBannerLink cb1 = new ClickableBannerLink();
cb1.copyRight();
 
ClickableBannerLink cb2 = new ClickableBannerLink();
cb2.setTitle("Custom banner with default link: http://www.engineeringserver.com");
cb2.setBanner("http://www.engineeringserver.com/Software/dp3ymc9afw1ajv3tezsa.png");
 
ClickableBannerLink cb3 = new ClickableBannerLink();
cb3.setTitle("Custom banner with custom link: " + custLink);
cb3.setBannerWithLink(custBanner,custLink);
}
}

Update
Here are three demo's to demonstrate that you can use custom banners, links and can place the banner anywhere in your container.

				cb2.setBounds(7, 7, 475, 67);
			}
			Color bg = new Color(233, 233, 234);
			Container c = getContentPane();
			c.setBackground(bg);
			setLocationRelativeTo(null);
			setSize(500, 200);
			setResizable(false);
			setVisible(true);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Clickable banners in your application

Updated version 2: http://www.engineeringser...ClickableBannerLinkV2.rar , the other one i released does't work when you want to add the banner in your own container (JFrame etc..)

[Arkie]

See above ^ after the update ^

[intorseattido]

Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to the world!

[Arkie]

Obsolette due old code. But it still works in case you want to use it.
