field linkable

[#1]

Hello at All,

in a field I have a list of url. For example www.mysite.com .

I need to know i if is possible to link the url and to go in the web page I selected.

Does QV support <a> tag? (jtml),

Thanks in advance.

hi splash,

i have attached a screen shot of one of my application in which i have created a field "url" and i have displayed the list of url's in a list box.

now when you select a particular url in the listbox "url" and then click on the button "go to" ,then that particular webpage will open.

i have included two actions in the button

first , select in field url and the search string is =url

second action is, open url =url

i think this should work fine

thanks

Rob Wunderlich suggested an approach that's working just great in a couple of my 8.5 applications.

I create two fields, a "Link" field, and a "URL" field. The link is what I want to display on the screen, and the URL is the associated URL. Not sure why I called the field "Link". Call it whatever you want. To make it user friendly, these links are in charts with the cells custom formatted to display the Link value underlined and blue. I trigger a macro onSelect of the Link field:

sub OpenURL
if ActiveDocument.Fields("Link").getSelectedValues.Count = 1 then
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Launch ActiveDocument.Evaluate("URL"),""
ActiveDocument.Back 'Go back so we don't do the selection
end if
end sub

this works but only sporadically...i've tried this syntax with a variety of links

some launch (notepad.exe as an absurd example or some hlp files)

but it seems others will not.

i've set the security options properly in User Preferences,

but i can't seem to get consistent results.

and on a related note, the Field Event Trigger => External => Launch => (file.exe) doesn't work at all.

if this sort of 'click and launch from cell' concept is problematic, so be it

most appreciative of any insight

Hi John,

I used your macro code to open the link on field selection, but when i access this application on "Access Point with Full Browser Version" it is not working but it is working for "Access Point with IE Plugin".

Can you please let me know same functionality should work on "Full Browser Version" also.

Please let me know if it possible?

sub OpenURL

if ActiveDocument.Fields("Link").getSelectedValues.Count = 1 then

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Launch ActiveDocument.Evaluate("URL"),""

ActiveDocument.Back 'Go back so we don't do the selection

end if

end sub
