hyperlink text

VB 6: I need to provide a text box that allows a user to enter working hyperlinks without typing the html code. I currently send the text box contents (textbox.text) as an email message...I need the user entered hyperlink to work within the sent email message body.

How can I make this happen?

Hello Ruth,

Well, to make this happen you need work a little harder. First, how are you
sending your email? You should specify that it's HTML in the format tag.
Are you using MAPI?

Secondly, you might have to enclose the email address in the appropriate
HTML tags. I think you can make this auto generated.

Cyril Gupta

You can do anything with a little bit of 'magination.
I have been programming so long, that my brain is now soft-ware.

I am using the CDO.Message object. I am trying to set the HTMLText property to the textbox.text value. It is not working!

Preferably I would like my users to view the hyperlink as a hyperlink within the textbox. I even tried using the Microsoft Rich TextBox...it does not work either!

I need to work within an existing application written in VB6...

I am grateful for any suggestions?

I have a subform in my Access 2002 mdb that holds Hyperlinks to documents (.pdfs) that are associated with each record in the database. The datasheet subform is simply a list of Hyperlinks to previous invoices for each client. The problem is that other workstations on the LAN cannot open the documents (they can connect to the database okay). The workstation on which the database resides (MainPC) opens the documents without a problem,...

Hi I have a data grid with a hyperlink column. the colum has numbers like 00001,000002, ect. Just wondering how to get the text value of the cell as tempstring = datagrid.Items(rownumber).Cells.Item(column number).Text returns a blank string. It seems to work ok for the other columns that are just regular datagrid columns, not hyperlink types. Thanks. -- Paul G Software engineer.

I have an aspx page (referred to here as page_1) with a datagrid whose first column contains hyperlinks. When a user clicks one of these hyperlinks, he will navigate to another aspx page (referred to here as page_2). I need to cache the value of the link's text (hyperlink.text property) so that I can use it in the page_load event of page_2. I've thought of using a hidden field and then calling Request.Form("hdnClickedLinkText") in the...

I have a sample of an unbound (autogeneratecolumns is true) sortable/pagable datagrid that works. I want to change one of the columns to a hyperlink. The examples I find use a bound column. I can get this to work; however, the column header on the datagrid is not a link/sortable. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I have a personnel database with a hyperlink field which contains the path to a mugshot. I was thinking of combining the hyperlink field with the surname field by putting the surname in the "Display Text" of the hyperlink. I have 200 or so existing records - can this be done either with code or in a query? I'm not sure of the syntax to use to reference the "Display Text" property (if it can be done at all). Many thanks. Keith.

I had posted this problem earlier and just noticed that the Hyperlink is the problem. Apparently, it doesn't figure out the path correctly. It uses the path of the file it is in, even if it is a control. I have 2 files "displayCompanyJobs.aspx" and "displayCompanyOverview.aspx" which are in both the folder "/jobseeker/" and "/employer/". I have a user control "displayCompanyJobs.ascx" that is in my /applicant/

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
