Using PictureHyperLinks

A PictureHyperLink is a picture that provides a hot link to a specified Web page. When a user clicks the PictureHyperLink in a window, the user’s Web browser opens to display the page.

The PictureHyperLink control has a URL property that specifies the target of the link. You specify the picture and URL in the PictureHyperLink control’s Properties view in the General properties page. Since browsers on Windows CE devices all support URL completion, you can enter a partial address—for example, sybase.com—instead of the complete address: http://www.sybase.com.

The PictureHyperLink control is a descendant of the Picture control. Like a Picture control, a PictureHyperLink control can display a PocketBuilder stock icon or an image from a BMP, GIF, animated GIF, JPEG, or PNG file. You select the picture in the same manner.
