Hyperlink property

rbuser

If the data contains an @ it is assumed to be a hyperlink. Do I have to go
thru all of my reports and disable the hyperlink property or is there an
easier way to do this?

Thanks,
Perry

Hi Perry,

Yes this is an automatic feature. If you are loading templates, you can use
the OnLoadEnd event to disable the Hyperlink feature for each text object
using a report object loop. If not, you may need to create a simple routine
that disables the feature before Report.Print is called. Something like
DisableHyperlink(aReport: TppReport);

Hello,
are hyperlinks saved with the report template?

I have a problem with hyperlinks in my reports, since they seem
1) not to be set to "empty" when there is no e-mail address in the DB field
of the current dataset
2) to stay at one certain (saved?) value, even if the DB field of the
current dataset has a different e-mails address in it

I don't know how it happened. An attempt to reproduce it was not successfull
right now, but there still seem to be something no ok with hyperlinks.
Once I remove that wrong value, the same field works fine afterwards, but
somehow it came to the case, that the value either got saved with the
template and / or didn't get reset / refreshed.

Is there anything known about it or any ideas waht was / is wrong?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

We are constantly trying to improve the hyperlink feature however there are
not currently any known issues with it for RB 11.07. The HyperLink
properties are published so they will be saved down with a template. If you
are able to consistently create an issue, please create a simple example and
send it to support@digital-metaphors.com.

Hello,

a lot of time passed since the last message on this topic, but recently
we had some requests regarding the Hyperlink property again, so that I
wanted to ask, if you could consider making the HyperlinkEnabled
property editable via the context menue? The reason is, that we are
hiding the obejct inspector from the end users. So far there was no need
to make it available, since pretty much all important properties are
editable via the context menue or the toolbars - except the
HyperlinkEnabled property.

This would be good, since most users seem not to want the automatic
highlighting of email or web addresses when printing their documents.
Without the object inspector there is no way for them to change that
behaviour unlike most other things.

Best regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the feedback. I will add this to the list and take a look at
it for the next major release.
