Insert a "PayPal Donations" link directly into a Button with WIN32 API & C++
Experts,
What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a Button in my C++ App (programmed through WIN32 API), that I can have the user click to direct them to a donations page on paypal. I would like this link to directly open the page, however, the code for the button is in the type of <form> with the button producing a "submit".
Is there anyway I can make a button that if clicked, will use my <form>...</form> code from PayPal to directly open the link to paypal for donations in a web browser?
I can post the <form> code, if needed.
Thanks in advance,
Jake

Here is the Form code, just in case you can figure out how to use it directly (Just a sample from PayPal):
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@mybiz.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Team In Training">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="25.00">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
Thanks,

No need to do that - it'll just create the URL you gave :o)

jkr,
Yes, I figured that out... :)
Giving you the points anyways; you helped with the actual C++ syntax.
Oh well, thanks,
