StaticHyperLink

A StaticHyperLink is display text that provides a hot link to a specified Web page. When a user clicks the StaticHyperLink in a window, the user’s Web browser opens to display the page.

The StaticHyperLink control has a URL property that specifies the target of the link. You specify the text and URL on the StaticHyperLink control’s General tab page in the Properties view.

If you know that your users have browsers that support URL completion, you can enter a partial address—for example, sybase.com instead of the complete address, http://www.sybase.com.

When the StaticHyperLink control is in an MDI Frame window with MicroHelp, the URL you specify displays in the status bar when the user’s pointer is over the control.

A hand is the default pointer and blue underlined text is the default font. To change the pointer, use the Other property page. To change the font, use the Font property page.
