hyperlink in table cell ?

[Kanu]

Hi All,

We require to navigate to a path for each row in  the table control. Is it possible to have a hyperlink in a table cell for each row? or do I use button cell to do the same ?

Hi again,

instead of a button you could also use a regular string or text message control. In the callback routine you can then launch a Web browser. It might also be of interest to have a look at the toolslib functions, e.g. userint\custctrl\hyperlinkctrl\simple.cws

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for your reply. I understand that a text message control can be made a hyperlink as per simple.cws example. However, I don't know how to do the make a string cell of a table a hyperlink. Even though, I set the cell attribute as VAL_CELL_STRING, how do I make it a hypelink ?

The answer is, you can't. However, the hyperlink custom control is open-source. You can find the source in toolslib\custctrl\hyperlinkctrl.c. It's a fairly simple code module, so it wouldn't be all that hard to modify that code so that it could operate in a table cell, rather than a text message control.
