public:
 int IndexOf(System::Windows::Forms::LinkLabel::Link ^ link);
public int IndexOf (System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Link link);
member this.IndexOf : System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Link -> int
Public Function IndexOf (link As LinkLabel.Link) As Integer

Parameters

link
LinkLabel.Link

A LinkLabel.Link representing the link to search for in the collection.

Returns

The zero-based index where the link is located within the collection; otherwise, negative one (-1).

Examples

The following code example demonstrates setting the LinkBehavior property using the LinkBehavior enumeration. It also demonstrates setting the ActiveLinkColor, LinkColor, Text and LinkVisited properties and adding and accessing links in a LinkLabel.LinkCollection. To run this example, paste it in a blank form and call InitializeLinkLabel from the form's constructor or Load event handler.

   // Declare the LinkLabel object.
internal:
   System::Windows::Forms::LinkLabel^ LinkLabel1;

   // Declare keywords array to identify links
   array<String^>^keywords;

private:

   {
      this->LinkLabel1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::LinkLabel;

      this->LinkLabel1->Location = System::Drawing::Point( 10, 20 );
      this->LinkLabel1->Name = "CompanyLinks";
      this->LinkLabel1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 104, 150 );
      
      // Set the LinkBehavior property to show underline when mouse
      // hovers over the links.
      this->LinkLabel1->LinkBehavior = System::Windows::Forms::LinkBehavior::HoverUnderline;
      String^ textString = "For more information see our"
      " company website or the research page at Contoso Ltd. ";
      
      // Set the text property.

Remarks

The IndexOf method enables you to determine where a link is located within the collection. To determine if a link is located within the collection before calling this method, use the Contains method.
