HyperLink property
Available for Static objects.
Read/Write
at design time
Specifies whether the object behaves like a hyperlink or just like a normal Static control. It can be one of the following values:
FALSE The Static control behaves like a normal Static control (default).
TRUE The Static control behaves like a hyperlink and the control procedure receives the ECM_LINKCLICKED message when the mouse left button is clicked.
When this property is set to TRUE,
the HyperColor
property specifies the color in which the text will be shown
when the mouse
hovers over the control.
REMARKS: If the mouse left
button is clicked when
this property is set to TRUE,
the control procedure will receive
the ECM_LINKCLICKED
message so that it
can be processed by the application. If the message returns FALSE
(the default return value), Easy Code takes
care of processing the HyperLink by running the ShellExecute
API function (you can download this HyperLink example by clicking here).
On the other hand, if the application processes the message it should
return
TRUE
for no further processing, otherwise it
will be processed twice (you can download this HyperLink example by
clicking here).
WARNING: Versions of Easy Code previous to 1.06.0.0014 sent this message as ECM_LINKPUSHED. Although that name can still be used for compatibility reasons, the new name for the message should be used from now on.
