3 mins read

Hyperlink event allows to perform the customized action in your application when hyperlink is clicked in a report. The following section describes the details to add hyperlink to report and handle the customized action in application.

Adding a Hyperlink action

You can add a hyperlink to report items in RDL/RDLC reports with the help of Action properties. The below steps guide you to do this with the help of WPF Syncfusion Report Designer.

In design view of report, right-click the report items, then click Properties.

Right click the report item and select properties

In the properties dialog, select Action tab and choose Go to URL options.

Select Action tab and choose Go to URL

In Select URL, specify the URL to need to navigate (Example: https://www.syncfusion.com/products/report).

Specify the URL

Click OK.

Handling event in application

The hyperlink event can be registered in XAML or code behind as like following code snippet,

XAML

<Grid>
        <sync:ReportViewer x:Name="Viewer" ReportPath="../../Resources/GroupingAgg.rdl" ProcessingMode="Remote" Hyperlink="Hyperlink_clicked"/>
 </Grid>

Viewer.Hyperlink += new HyperlinkEventHandler(Hyperlink_clicked);

You can implement the customized action in the event handler method and set Cancel argument as true to true to ignore the report action. The following demonstrates opening a new custom window in application when hyperlink action is raised.

private void Hyperlink_clicked(object sender, HyperlinkEventArgs e)
{
     e.Cancel = true; // Set Cancel to true, else it will launch the hyperlink provided in report.
 
     CustomWindow CustomWindow = new CustomWindow();
     CustomWindow.Show();
     CustomWindow.Owner = this;
}
