Brick.Url Property

Specifies the link to an external resource.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue("")]
public string Url { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue("")>
Public Property Url As String

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A String value representing the link to a resource.

Remarks

The Url property value specifies the path to a resource. A resource can be of any type: picture, URL, Microsoft® Word document, executable file, etc. If the Url property value of any brick is non-null, the brick’s contents act like a hyperlink in Web pages. Clicking it starts an application associated with a specific kind of resource. This feature can be useful when assigning the same value to both the Brick.Hint and Url properties. In this case, the brick’s look and feel is more informative.

Note

If the mouse pointer is positioned over a brick with a predefined Url property, then the mouse pointer changes to the cursor. If the Url property value is Empty, then the hand cursor is displayed, but clicking the link has no effect.
