TcxCustomHyperLinkEdit Class

The base class for the classes that implement hyperlink editors.

Declaration

TcxCustomHyperLinkEdit = class(
    TcxCustomTextEdit
)

Remarks

A hyperlink editor allows you to edit textual data and represent it as a hyperlink. Editor text is displayed underlined and resembles a hyperlink element which can activate the default web browser on a user’s system. A hyperlink editor also enables you to execute a system command if it can be recognized.

The Properties property provides access to various settings that are specific to hyperlink editors. With the Properties.SingleClick property, you can specify how an end-user can execute the command typed in the edit box using the mouse. An alternative way to execute the command is to press the keystroke specified using the Properties.StartKey property. You can specify the link color and populate the Properties.LookupItems list with values for the auto-completion feature.

Use the Style, StyleDisabled, StyleFocused and StyleHot properties to adjust the look & feel of an editor. Working with styles is discussed in the TcxCustomEditStyle class topic.

Do not create instances of the TcxCustomHyperLinkEdit class. Use its descendants such as TcxHyperLinkEdit and TcxDBHyperLinkEdit instead.
