Hyperlink from Image

rbuser

Hi

Delphi XE7 and RB 16.03 Ent.

Is it possible to hyperlink from an image and if so how?

Hi Tim,

You can use the OnDrawCommandClick event to perform a task when an
TppImage is clicked. The following would be similar to the way the
HyperLink property works for text components.

uses
ppUtils;

procedure TForm1.ppImage1DrawCommandClick(Sender, aDrawCommand: TObject);
begin

ppShellExec('http://www.google.com', '', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL);

end;

Thanks for that. I can see that will work but i am loading the report from
a template file and am using RAP where ppShellExec is not available to me.
Do i have to create a pass through function or is there another solution.

Hi Tim,

Yes a pass-thru function will be necessary in this case.

I will add hyperlinks for images as a possible enhancement for a later
release.

Thanks. An image hyperlink would be good particularly for use with Facebook
and Twitter links where the image is now ubiquitous.

This is a follow up to my earlier posting.

The OnDrawClickCommand event for the image did not work when the report was
saved to pdf and this was an essential requirement. I overcame the problem
by having an image with no event and then placing overtop a label sized the
same as the image with a hyperlink but no caption. This worked brilliantly
when saved as a pdf.

Hi Tim,

Yes, OnDrawCommandClick events are not transferred to file exports.
Great workaround!
