/**
    @class wxHyperlinkCtrl

    This class shows a static text element which links to an URL.

    Appearance and behaviour is completely customizable.

    In fact, when the user clicks on the hyperlink, a wxHyperlinkEvent is
    sent but if that event is not handled (or it's skipped; see wxEvent::Skip),
    then a call to wxLaunchDefaultBrowser() is done with the hyperlink's URL.

    Note that standard wxWindow functions like wxWindow::SetBackgroundColour,
    wxWindow::SetFont, wxWindow::SetCursor, wxWindow::SetLabel can be used to
    customize appearance of the hyperlink.

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxHL_ALIGN_LEFT}
           Align the text to the left.
    @style{wxHL_ALIGN_RIGHT}
           Align the text to the right. This style is not supported under
           Windows XP but is supported under all the other Windows versions.
    @style{wxHL_ALIGN_CENTRE}
           Center the text (horizontally). This style is not supported by the
           native MSW implementation used under Windows XP and later.
    @style{wxHL_CONTEXTMENU}
           Pop up a context menu when the hyperlink is right-clicked. The
           context menu contains a "Copy URL" menu item which is automatically
           handled by the hyperlink and which just copies in the clipboard the
           URL (not the label) of the control.
    @style{wxHL_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style for wxHyperlinkCtrl:
           wxBORDER_NONE|wxHL_CONTEXTMENU|wxHL_ALIGN_CENTRE.
    @endStyleTable

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxHyperlinkEvent}
    @event{EVT_HYPERLINK(id, func)}
        The hyperlink was (left) clicked. If this event is not handled in user's
        code (or it's skipped; see wxEvent::Skip), then a call to wxLaunchDefaultBrowser
        is done with the hyperlink's URL.
    @endEventTable

    Currently this class is implemented using native support in wxGTK and wxMSW
    (under Windows XP and later only) and a generic version is used by the
    other ports.
