The Link control opens a URL when clicked. By default, it displays the link as blue and underlined — the default style for a link. Use the URL property in the Inspector to set the link target and change the Text property to something that suggests the destination link. By default, the Text property is “Untitled” and the URL is set to "http://www.xojo.com".

The commonly used properties are described below. Refer to WebLink in the Language Reference for the complete list of events, properties and methods.

Properties

Target

Usage
