Sample Application

SFHyperLink is an SFX custom control that enables you to add hyperlinks to your form. A hyperlink is a rectangle containing optional text and an optional underline that responds to taps. It is functionally similar to a borderless button control with underlined text, but offers several convenience and feature enhancements over that approach.

Some of the enhanced features include:

• ability to draw the hyperlink in whatever color you want
• ability to easily move & resize the hyperlink at runtime
• ability to change hyperlink text and font at runtime
• consistent behaviour over various PalmOS versions that avoids control stacking issues common with the button approach

You place the SFHyperLink(s) onto your form where you want it to appear, set its starting behaviour properties via the control config box, and you're off and running. Most of the control properties can also be queried and modified at runtime via script functions.
