creating a link to a document that is created on the fly from a database

Hi, We have created an htmluicontrol inherited custom control that successfully creates an html document from a database. We would like this html document to include links to other documents that are created on the fly using the contents of a database. How do you suggest we go about doing this? I am including our code so far. Thanks! Anne ArbonneNews_273.zip

Hi Anne, The latest version supports a LinkClicked event. This event can be handled and the LinkForwardEventArgs can be used to specify our own action (In this case loading the data from a database). I will look into this and modify your custom control to do this and upload it at the earliest. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Davis

Thank you very much, Davis. I look forward to that. Anne >Hi Anne, > >The latest version supports a LinkClicked event.

Hi Anne, Please refer to the sample linked to below: F28028HTMLUIDB_8040.zip I modified your sample to load the data from a Access Database. You will need to change the path to the access database on your system before running the sample. Regards, Davis

Thanks Davis, I am getting the errors: ''Arbonne.Components.Win.News.arbNews'' does not contain a definition for ''LinkClicked'' The type ''Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.HTMLUI.HTMLUIControl'' has no event named ''LinkClicked''. Please advise. Thanks! Anne >Hi Anne, > >Please refer to the sample linked to below: > >F28028HTMLUIDB_8040.zip > >I modified your sample to load the data from a Access Database.

Hi Anne, Sorry about that. I have send download instructions for version 3.2.1.0 through the Direct-Trac system. This version will fix have the HTMLUIControl with the LinkClicked event. Regards, Davis

Thanks, Davis. Could you let me know when that is done. I just looked and could not yet see that version in Direct-Trac... Thank you again, Anne >Hi Anne, > >Sorry about that.

Hi Anne, I created a incident for your and pasted the link and the information needed to unlock it in that incident. Please check your support incidents in Direct-Trac. Thanks, Davis

Thanks Davis - I got that example you sent working. Is there any way to have the link open in a new form instead of replacing the current htmlui document. In html this is done with a rel='nofollow' href="filename.html" target="_blank" Please let me know at your earliest convenience and thank you very much.

Hi Anne, Since HTMLUI is a control and not a standalone form like window, it does not have the capability to display a new window on its own. However, you can handle the LinkClicked event and display the window in a new form. Please see the sample linked to below: http://www.syncfusion.com/support/user/uploads/18253htmluilinkclickedevent.zip The LinkClicked event does not send the A tag''s attributes at present. I will submit a feature request for this so that the target attribute can be checked for doing this. Thanks, Davis

Thank you so much Davis! I am very pleased with your support on this issue. Thanks to your help we now have now built this component and have utilized your strategy for openning links in a new window (form).
