LinkLabel.Link.Visited Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user has visited the link.

public:
 property bool Visited { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool Visited { get; set; }
member this.Visited : bool with get, set
Public Property Visited As Boolean

Property Value

true if the link has been visited; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates using the LinkLabel class, with multiple LinkArea sections defined, to display a label on a form. The example demonstrates setting the AutoSize, LinkBehavior, DisabledLinkColor, LinkColor, and VisitedLinkColor properties to customize the look of the LinkLabel. The first LinkArea is specified using the LinkLabel.LinkArea property. Additional links are added to the LinkLabel using the LinkLabel.LinkCollection.Add method. The example handles the LinkClicked event by starting the Web browser for hyperlinks, and displaying a MessageBox for other links.

Remarks

A LinkLabel control does not automatically denote that a link is a visited link. To display the link as a visited link, you can set the value of this property to true in an event handler for the LinkClicked event of a LinkLabel. A visited link is displayed using the color specified in the VisitedLinkColor property of the LinkLabel control. Once the form containing the LinkLabel control is closed, the all display state associated with the link is deleted. In order to retain the display state of the link, you need to store the display state of the link in a registry setting associated with your application.

Note

If you have only one link specified in a LinkLabel control, you can use the LinkVisited property of the LinkLabel to specify the link as visited. You can also use the LinkVisited property if you have multiple links defined, but the setting only applies to the first link defined in the control.
