Link label equivalent

[Tommy Malone]

Is there a link label equivalent for the CF? How does one get hyperlinks on
forms in the Pocket Pc environment?

 

[Chris Tacke, eMVP]

There's one in the OpenNETCF SDF, which is normally available at
www.opennetcf.org/sdf. Unfortunately our ISP dropped the ball on our domain
registration so it'll be a day or so before the registration propagates to
all DNS servers.

Tommy,

There is a link label equivalent on www.opennetcf.org but the site is down
at the moment.

 

[Peter Foot [MVP]]

Since the OpenNETCF site is down at the moment, I've placed the SDF
installer here temporarily:-

http://www.inthehand.com/downloads/SmartDeviceFramework.zip

Just until www.OpenNETCF.org is back up and running.

OpenNETCF has a number of handy controls that the Compact Framework did not include:

OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel

Take a look at www.opennetcf.org

Can I trouble you for some sample VB click event code to launch IE with the
label URL?

I cannot find any CF documentation in VB for the link label. Is there a
createprocess equivalent?

 

[Tim Wilson]

The LinkLabel control is very close to the desktop fx LinkLabel control. So
you should be able to use the documentation in the help. Just use the shared
Process.Start method to start a process (aka createprocess). It's in the
SDF.

Forgot to post the code. Drop a LinkLabel on the Form, double-click it to
wire up the LinkClicked event, and then use "Process.Start".

Imports OpenNETCF.Diagnostics

Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles
LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
' To start PIE only.
Process.Start("iexplore.exe")

' To start PIE and navigate to a specific URL.
Process.Start(http://www.opennetcf.org/)

' To start PIE and navigate to the URL indicated by the LinkLabel's
' LinkData property. This property can be set through the designer.
Process.Start(e.LinkData.ToString())
End Sub
