Hyperlink

Remarks

A Hyperlink object provides navigational capabilities for Visual FoxPro applications and Active Documents hosted in containers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Using the Hyperlink object, Visual FoxPro applications can request an Active Document container to jump to a given URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

A Hyperlink object has no user interface. The NavigateTo method of the HyperLink object allows you to jump to a specific URL, and the GoBack and GoForward methods allow you to move backward or forward within the container's history list.

Note that the Hyperlink object is supported only in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Use the Visual FoxPro Hyperlink Button, Hyperlink Image, or Hyperlink Label foundation classes in the Component Gallery for browser independent navigational capabilities.
