.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

LinkLabel

Synopsis

This Control, derived from Label, adds the ability to insert one or more hyperlinks in the control Text.

By default, the whole text is assigned to a single link. To specify a range of text that constitutes the link (instead of the entire text), you can assign a LinkArea value to the LinkArea property. You can determine whether the link has been clicked through the LinkVisited property.

If you wish to create several links within the text, you can add items to the Links collection. You need to Clear() the collection first to get rid of the default link, then create new Link instances to Add() to the collection.

See Link for more information on the class.
