LinkLabel in Cell in Winforms grid

[Geir Aamodt]

I''m trying to use an standard Windows LinkLabel in a cell. But I need to click in the cell before the pointer turns into an hand and I can activate the link in the cell (which does not go to an web page). Please see example code:

LinkLabel lnkLabel = new LinkLabel();
lnkLabel.Text = "SomeText";
lnkLabel.BackColor = Color.White;
lnkLabel.LinkClicked += new LinkLabelLinkClickedEventHandler(lnkLabel_LinkClicked);
lnkLabel.Links[0].LinkData = someData;
theGrid[x,y].Control = lnkLabel;

Any tips on how to solve this? I need to handle the click event in my code since it does not fire of a web page.

Regards,

Geir

To get the proper mouse interaction with the link cell, I think you will have to use the technique shown in this sample. \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\3.2.1.0\Windows\Grid.Windows\Samples\CellTypes\LinkLabelCells

You can copy the LinkLabelCell file to your project and just use teh custom cell type to have support for a link cell. Then if you do not want to lauch teh browser, you can comment out this line:

//LaunchBrowser(style);

in teh OnMouseUp override in the LinkLabelCellRenderer class. Then you can handle the grid.CellClick event to catch the click and act on it.
