Text fields with @ symbol interrepeted as email address

rbuser

RB version 12.04 Build 77

Suddenly text data fields such as TppDBtext with an @ symbol preview and
print as email addresses (underlined, blue and linked to email client). Is
there a global switch to turn this off? Or is it a Windows environment
setting?

As always, thanks for your help.

Hi Bill,

You can set the DBText.HyperLinkEnabled property to False and this will
prevent an underlined blue link from being created. If you need to do
this for multiple components, you can use a report object loop.

Thank you Nico for your quick response.

As I look at this code, I would have to apply this to each report, right? I
have 100 reports in my application so this would be time consuming. Any
"global solution?"

Has this been here all along and my customer is just now noticing it? The
customer said it only started after the last update of our app. We haven't
changed versions of RB for over two years.

Thanks again,

Bill

Hi Bill,

The hyperlink feature was added for RB 11 (about three years ago).

There is no way to globally turn of the feature however you should only
have to write the object loop once. Once you load a report, simply run
it through the loop setting the HyperLinkEnabled property to False.
