Public Enum LinkBehavior

Inheritance: Object

ValueType

Enum
LinkBehavior

Fields

Name	Value	Description
SystemDefault	0	The behavior of this setting depends on the options set using the Internet Options dialog box in Control Panel or Internet Explorer.
AlwaysUnderline	1	The link always displays with underlined text.
HoverUnderline	2	The link displays underlined text only when the mouse is hovered over the link text.
NeverUnderline	3	The link text is never underlined. The link can still be distinguished from other text by use of the LinkColor property of the LinkLabel control.

Examples

The following example demonstrates setting the LinkLabel.LinkBehavior property using the LinkBehavior enumeration. It also demonstrates setting the LinkLabel.LinkColor, Text and LinkVisited properties. To run this sample place it in a blank form and call the InitializeLinkLabel method from the form's constructor or Load method.

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

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

private:
   void InitializeLinkLabel()
   {
      this->LinkLabel1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::LinkLabel;
      this->LinkLabel1->Links->Clear();
      // Set the location, name and size.
      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.
      this->LinkLabel1->Text = textString;
      
      // Set the color of the links to black, unless the mouse
      // is hovering over a link.
      this->LinkLabel1->LinkColor = System::Drawing::Color::Black;
      this->LinkLabel1->ActiveLinkColor = System::Drawing::Color::Blue;

      // event.
