Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type LinkClickedEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following LinkClickedEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

Property	Description
Button	Gets the button that was clicked on the link.
HRef	Gets the value of the link's HREF attribute.
Location	Get the location of the mouse during the generating event.
Target	Gets the value of the link's TARGET attribute.
X	Get the x-coordinate of the mouse during the generating event.
Y	Get the y-coordinate of the mouse during the generating event.

Remarks

Hyperlinks are created using "A" tags in the HTML source text. When hyperlinks are clicked, the LinkClicked event fires and provides information about the link. The event handler can then take appropriate action.

Example

The example below creates some hyperlinks using "A" tags. When the user clicks the link, the event handler shows a message box.

// configure InputHtmlLabel
inputHtmlLabel1.Text =
    "click <a href='about'><b>HERE</b></a> to see an about box.<br>" +
    "or click <a href='time'><b>HERE</b></a> to see the current time.";
            
// attach event handler
inputHtmlLabel1.LinkClicked += new LinkClickedEventHandler(inputHtmlLabel1_LinkClicked);
// ...
            
void inputHtmlLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
  {
    if (e.HRef == "about")
    {
      MessageBox.Show("About clicked!");
    }
    else if (e.HRef == "time")
    {
      MessageBox.Show("The time is " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString());
    }
  }
}
