Text link in application

[Guest]

I've noticed that in some of the apps built into PPC (such as Settings,
Input, and Remove Programs) that there are text links that take you to other
apps or parts of that app. Where is this functionality and is it part of the
normal GUI standards to use in such things as a second window that comes up??

Thanks

It's not a standard .NETCF forms control, but you can use an alternative
such as the LinkLabel control in the SDF (www.opennetcf.org/sdf/)

From a Compact Framework standpoint, you can achieve this in VS2003/CF1.0
with a custom label (reduce the
font, set color to blue, and underline it) which you define event handlers
for that make it act like a hyperlink.

In VS2005/CF2.0, there is a control called a LinkLabel included that does
the same thing.
