Link Label Disabling

Hi,

Dumb question, but can someone explain to me how the LinkLabel
'DisabledLinkCo lor' property works...?

I have a LinkLabel on my form that allows the user to jump to another form,
however under certain circumstances I don't want them to be able to do this
do I disable the link

myLink.Enabled = false;

But, when I do this, I want the disabled link to be Black, not grey (so that
it looks like a normal label) so I also say:

myLink.Disabled LinkColor = Color.Black;

Seems straight forward, but the link is ALWAYS grey

Anyone tell me what I'm a-doin' wrong...?

Cheers,

Chris.

Try setting the Enabled property of the actual Link that you'd like to
disable instead of the entire LinkLabel control.

Doh!

Thanks Tim. Serves me right for not reading the documentation properly I
guess... ;-)

I have an issue in which a link label on a windows form does not draw the focus rectangle if you programmatically force it to have focus via the Control.Focus() method. To duplicate, create a new windows app, place a button and a link label on the form. In the button click event, place the following code, this.linkLabel1.Focus(). Run the app and press tab between the two controls and you notice that the link label has the focus...

Hello. I have an aspx page that changes an HTML label's text using javascript. After the label's text has been changed in this way, I redirect to another aspx page. If I then use the back button on the browser, the label has lost it's newly changed value.

This is something I had never seen before. On an aspx page, upon pressing a link button for which I have an event handler in the code behind, the screen shows nothing but a line that says "true" up in the right upper corner of the browser. I have an XP and had just installed XP Service Pack II...against my better judgment. Please help. Thanks.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
