\section{\class{wxHyperlinkCtrl}}\label{wxhyperlinkctrl}

This class shows a static text element which links to an URL.
Appearance and behaviour is completely customizable. In fact, when the user
clicks on the hyperlink, a \helpref{wxHyperlinkEvent}{wxhyperlinkevent} is
sent but if that event is not handled (or it's skipped; see
\helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip}), then a call to
\helpref{wxLaunchDefaultBrowser}{wxlaunchdefaultbrowser} is done with the
hyperlink's URL.

Note that standard \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow} functions like \helpref{SetBackgroundColour}{wxwindowsetbackgroundcolour}, \helpref{SetFont}{wxwindowsetfont}, \helpref{SetCursor}{wxwindowsetcursor}, \helpref{SetLabel}{wxwindowsetlabel} can be used to customize appearance of the hyperlink.

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHL\_ALIGN\_LEFT}}{Align the text to the left.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHL\_ALIGN\_RIGHT}}{Align the text to the right.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHL\_ALIGN\_CENTRE}}{Center the text (horizontally).}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHL\_CONTEXTMENU}}{Pop up a context menu when the hyperlink is right-clicked. The context menu contains a \texttt{``Copy URL"} menu item which is automatically handled by the hyperlink and which just copies in the clipboard the URL (not the label) of the control.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxHL\_DEFAULT\_STYLE}}{The default style for wxHyperlinkCtrl: \texttt{wxNO\_BORDER|wxHL\_CONTEXTMENU|wxHL\_ALIGN\_CENTRE}.}
\end{twocollist}

See also \helpref{window styles overview}{windowstyles}.


\wxheading{Event handling}

To process input from an hyperlink control, use these event handler macros to
direct input to member functions that take a
\helpref{wxHyperlinkEvent}{wxhyperlinkevent} argument.

\twocolwidtha{7cm}
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf EVT\_HYPERLINK(id, func)}}{The hyperlink was (left) clicked. If this event is not handled in user's code (or it's skipped; see \helpref{wxEvent::Skip}{wxeventskip}), then a call to \helpref{wxLaunchDefaultBrowser}{wxlaunchdefaultbrowser} is done with the hyperlink's URL.}
