Description

The StaticHyperLink and PictureHyperLink controls are descendants of the StaticText and Picture controls. These new controls enable you to provide a hot link to a web page on a window. When users click the control, their web browsers open to display the page you specify.

Both controls have a URL property where you define the target of the link, and both use a hand instead of an arrow as the default pointer. The StaticHyperLink control uses blue underlined text as a default.

Usage

Select the StaticHyperLink control or the PictureHyperLink control from the Insert menu or the Controls dropdown toolbar to add a hyperlink control to a window. To specify the target of the hyperlink, specify a URL on the property sheet for the control. If you know that your users are using browsers that support URL completion, you can enter a partial address—for example:

sybase.com

You can also enter a complete address—for example:

http://www.sybase.com
