LinkLabel

Represents a label control that can display hyperlinks.

The LinkLabel control is similar to a Label control with the exception that it can display a hyperlink. Multiple hyperlinks can be specified in the text of the control. Each hyperlink can perform a different task within an application.

For a full list of properties, methods and events see the API documentation.

SystemDefault: The behavior of this setting depends on the browser.

How To

Customize the Appearance

The Label control is fully customizable through the Font, Text, AllowHTML, and AppearanceKey properties.

Font

Like most other controls in Wisej, the LinkLabel control has a Font property that allows for customization of the size, features, and style of font to use for the control.

AllowHtml

When set to true, the Label's Text property will be interpreted as HTML content, allowing for full customization of the control.

Appearance Key

The AppearanceKey property of the control can be used to give the Label a custom look. This can be based off of another control already defined in the theme (i.e. button) or as an entirely new appearance defined in a mixin.
