| Hyperlink control</H1> |
| <p>Hyperlink is a custom widget created to complement the standard SWT widget |
| set when used in the context of UI Forms. Hyperlink is a selectable text control |
| that acts like a Web browser hyperlink:</p> |
| <pre> Hyperlink link = toolkit.createHyperlink(form.getBody(), "Click here.", |
| SWT.WRAP); |
| link.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkAdapter() { |
| public void linkActivated(HyperlinkEvent e) { |
| System.out.println("Link activated!"); |
| } |
| }); |
| link.setText("A sample link");</pre> |
| <p>Hyperlinks fire <code>HyperlinkEvent</code> objects when users interact with |
| them. By adding a <code>HyperlinkListener</code>, clients can capture when the |
| mouse enters and exits the link, as well as activates it (either by mouse click |
| or by 'Enter' key).</p> |
| <p>Hyperlinks created by the form toolkit are automatically inserted into a <b> |
| hyperlink group</b>. <code>HyperlinkGroup</code> manages common hyperlink |
| properties like normal and hover foreground color, underline style etc. for all |
| the links that belong to the group.</p> |
| <p>Since many hyperlinks are combined with a small image, UI Forms provide a |
| subclass called <code>ImageHyperlink</code> that add the ability to combine text |
| and image in one clickable control. This class can also be used when a hyperlink |
| image (without text) is needed. If image is not set, <code>ImageHyperlink</code> |
| behaves identically to <code>Hyperlink</code>.</p> |
