hyperlabel control
This simple control simulates a hyperlink to a web page when placed in a suitable container, such as Visual Basic or Visual C++. The default appearance is shown in this screenshot, which shows the control in a dialog box. The control is just a label whose caption, font, colour, etc. can all be changed in the usual way. The mouse pointer automatically changes to a pointing hand when it rests over the control:
what it does:
- the control simulates a hyperlink on a web page
- when clicked, the user's web browser is launched and navigates to the URL contained in the control's URL property
- ftp//: and mailto: URLs are also handled
- the control's caption can be set independently of the URL
- navigation can be cancelled from within code before it takes place
