Syntax

typedef struct tagLITEM {
  UINT  mask;

  UINT  stateMask;
  WCHAR szID[MAX_LINKID_TEXT];
  WCHAR szUrl[L_MAX_URL_LENGTH];
} LITEM, *PLITEM;

Members

mask

Type: UINT

Combination of one or more of the following flags, describing the information to set or retrieve:

Value Meaning
LIF_ITEMINDEX
 Retrieve the numeric item index. Items are always accessed by index, therefore you must always set this flag and assign a value to iLink. To obtain the item ID you must set both LIF_ITEMINDEX and LIF_ITEMID.
LIF_STATE
 Use stateMask to get or set the state of the link.
LIF_ITEMID
 Specify the item by the ID value given in szID.
LIF_URL
 Set or get the URL for this item.

iLink

Type: int

Value of type int that contains the item index. This numeric index is used to access a SysLink control link.

state

Type: UINT

Combination of one or more of the following flags, describing the state of the item:

Value Meaning
LIS_ENABLED
 The link can respond to user input. This is the default unless the entire control was created with WS_DISABLED. In this case, all links are disabled.
LIS_FOCUSED
 The link has the keyboard focus. Pressing ENTER sends an NM_CLICK notification.
LIS_VISITED
 The link has been visited by the user. Changing the URL to one that has not been visited causes this flag to be cleared.
LIS_HOTTRACK
 Indicates that the syslink control will highlight in a different color (COLOR_HIGHLIGHT) when the mouse hovers over the control.
LIS_DEFAULTCOLORS
 Enable custom text colors to be used.

stateMask

Type: UINT

Combination of flags describing which state item to get or set. Allowable items are identical to those allowed in state.

szID[MAX_LINKID_TEXT]

Type: WCHAR[MAX_LINKID_TEXT]

WCHAR string that contains the ID name. The maximum number of characters in the array is MAX_LINKID_TEXT. The ID name cannot be used to access a SysLink control link. You use the item index to access the item.

szUrl[L_MAX_URL_LENGTH]

Type: WCHAR[L_MAX_URL_LENGTH]

WCHAR string that contains the URL represented by the link. The maximum number of characters in the array is L_MAX_URL_LENGTH.
