Overview
The Hyperlink control displays as a hyperlink
(like the ones in your web browser) and can be
customised for colour and underline for both
hovered and unhovered states.
The hovered state is displayed when the users
mouse is positioned over the control.
When the control is clicked it will perform
an action which is customisable by the
programmer:
- Open a browser
and navigate to the specified web page.
- Create a new email
message using the email client
application installed on the end users
computer. The programmer can customise the
subject line and a single line of message
text. The action of this email creation is
identical to what happens when you click an
email link in a web browser window.
- Launch a file.
This can be an exe file or a data file that
Windows has an association for. For example
if the target was a file named data.doc then
Windows will open this document in MS Word
if installed or possibly WordPad on those
computers without MS Word.
This action can include a commandline to
pass to executable files and a default
folder.
By stating just a path then an explorer view
of that path will be displayed.
- Custom event. The
control can raise an event so that the
programmer can write code to determine the
action taken when the control is clicked.
Other Features
- The HyperLabel control
recognizes the operating system and will use
the shadowed hyperlink hand icon where
available.
- The control can be
configured to have a transparent background
so can sit on top of pictures, images and
other controls.
- Download includes full
install and uninstall and example project
for Visual Basic 6.
Online HTML Help is fully integrated into
the Visual Basic IDE.
