LinkLabel Control

The LinkLabel control is is used to display a link to files or web pages. This appears as underlined text (blue by default). When the mouse moves over it, the pointer changes to a hand. When the mouse is clicked on the LinkLabel, a LinkClicked event is generated, and (optionally) the link may change color.

Properties: (some of them)

• Color LinkColor

  This is the original color of a link before it is visited.

• VisitedLinkColor

  This is color of a link that has been visited. The default is set by the system, usually purple.

• bool LinkVisited

  If this is true, the link's color is set to VisitedLinkColor. The default is false. This is not set automatically for us.

• Color ActiveLinkColor

  This is the color of an active link; that is, the mouse is on it and it is about to be clicked. The default is set by the system, usually red.

• String Text

  This is the link text.

It is up to us to write the code to implement the actual link in the LinkClicked event handler, using the Process class.
