GuiMLTextCtrl::stripGameLink

GuiMLTextCtrl is a great control. We use it heavily for all sorts of UI stuff.
You can embed an anchor-like tag in GuiMLText, and when the user clicks it, your control will receive an OnURL() callback, and since the "url" can actually be arbitrary text, we often use this in the place of a button.
Normally the links are rendered with underlining, but you can omit the underlining by prepending "gamelink:".
However, the url passed to OnURL() then has "gamelink:" in front of it.
I finally got tired of parsing out the "gamelink:" in script, so changed GuiMLTextCtrl to have an option to dtrip it for you.

note, the right thing to do would be to have the link styling be a tag itself, like linkcolor, but life is short and there's always bigger fish in the morning.

This is for a TGE 1.3.5 codebase,
but is probably applicable to all torque technologies which implement GuiMLTextCtrl in C++.

GuiMLTextCtrl.h
add a protected member mStripGamelink:

bool mStripGamelink;

GuiMLTextCtrl.cc
initialize to false in the constructor. i think TRUE would actually be a much better default, but it needs to be false for strict backwards-compatability.

mStripGamelink             = false;

in initPersistFields(), expose it to script:

addField("stripGamelink",     TypeBool,            Offset(mStripGamelink,     GuiMLTextCtrl));

in onMouseUp(), just before the onURL callback, insert:

if (mStripGamelink && (dStrstr(url, "gamelink:") == url))
      {
         dStrcpy(url, url + sizeof("gamelink:") - 1);  // copying string onto itself.
      }
