.. _wx.adv.HyperlinkCtrl:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.adv.HyperlinkCtrl**
==========================================================================================================================================

This class shows a static text element which links to an URL.          

Appearance and behaviour is completely customizable. 

In fact, when the user clicks on the hyperlink, a :ref:`wx.adv.HyperlinkEvent`  is sent but if that event is not handled (or it's skipped; see :meth:`wx.Event.Skip` ), then a call to :ref:`wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser`  is done with the hyperlink's URL. 

Note that standard :ref:`wx.Window`  functions like :meth:`wx.Window.SetBackgroundColour` , :meth:`wx.Window.SetFont` , :meth:`wx.Window.SetCursor` , :meth:`wx.Window.SetLabel`   can be used to customize appearance of the hyperlink. 





.. _HyperlinkCtrl-styles:

|styles| Window Styles
================================

This class supports the following styles: 

  

- ``wx.adv.HL_ALIGN_LEFT``: Align the text to the left.  
- ``wx.adv.HL_ALIGN_RIGHT``: Align the text to the right. This style is not supported under Windows XP but is supported under all the other Windows versions.  
- ``wx.adv.HL_ALIGN_CENTRE``: Center the text (horizontally). This style is not supported by the native MSW implementation used under Windows XP and later.  
- ``wx.adv.HL_CONTEXTMENU``: Pop up a context menu when the hyperlink is right-clicked. The context menu contains a "Copy URL" menu item which is automatically handled by the hyperlink and which just copies in the clipboard the URL (not the label) of the control.  
- ``wx.adv.HL_DEFAULT_STYLE``: The default style for :ref:`wx.adv.HyperlinkCtrl`: BORDER_NONE|wxHL_CONTEXTMENU|wxHL_ALIGN_CENTRE.  








.. _HyperlinkCtrl-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.adv.HyperlinkEvent` parameter.


- EVT_HYPERLINK: The hyperlink was (left) clicked. If this event is not handled in user's code (or it's skipped; see :meth:`wx.Event.Skip` ), then a call to LaunchDefaultBrowser is done with the hyperlink's URL.  

Currently this class is implemented using native support in wxGTK and wxMSW (under Windows XP and later only) and a generic version is used by the other ports.
