Example

The following code example shows how to customize a link label cell's behavior or appearance. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the LinkLabelCell class.

private LinkLabelCell CreateAddressLinkLabelCell()
        {
            LinkLabelCell linkLabelCell = new LinkLabelCell();

            linkLabelCell.Selectable = false;

            linkLabelCell.Name = "Address";

            // Customize behavior of link label.
            linkLabelCell.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.HoverUnderline;

            // Customize colors when link label is in different state.
            linkLabelCell.LinkColor = Color.Blue;

            linkLabelCell.ActiveLinkColor = Color.Red;

            linkLabelCell.VisitedLinkColor = Color.Purple;

            return linkLabelCell;
        }

        void gcMultiRow1_CellClick(object sender, CellEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CellName == "Address")
            {
                object value = gcMultiRow1[e.RowIndex, e.CellIndex].Value;
                if (value != null)
                {
                    Process.Start(value.ToString());
                }
            }
        }

VB.NET

Private Function CreateAddressLinkLabelCell() As LinkLabelCell
        Dim linkLabelCell As New LinkLabelCell()

        linkLabelCell.Selectable = False

        linkLabelCell.Name = "Address"

        ' Customize behavior of link label.
        linkLabelCell.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.HoverUnderline

        ' Customize colors when link label has a different status.
        linkLabelCell.LinkColor = Color.Blue

        linkLabelCell.ActiveLinkColor = Color.Red

        linkLabelCell.VisitedLinkColor = Color.Purple

        Return linkLabelCell
    End Function

    Private Sub gcMultiRow1_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CellEventArgs) Handles 
gcMultiRow1.CellClick
        If e.CellName = "Address" Then
            Dim value As Object = gcMultiRow1(e.RowIndex, e.CellIndex).Value
            If value <> Nothing Then
                Process.Start(value.ToString())
            End If
