Description |

Color |
BG: Background color. In the list, select a color. |

Font |
The shortcut menu has standard buttons to set text style (such as bold), size, and font. Note: Type size is measured in points. One inch has 72 points, so 12-point type is one-sixth of an inch high, 18-point type is one-fourth of an inch high, and so on. |

Text Data |
A variable that contains text to display with the link. |
|
Link Data |
A variable that contains the address for the link. The value can be a URI, UNC, or command line statement with parameters. Examples are:
UNC and command line values do not work in the IPA Web Client because the user's web browser is not on the same system where the files (for a UNC) or programs (for a command line) reside. For the same reason, relative URI values do not work. Use only fully-qualified URI values, such as http://www.FakeAddress.com/Features.html. The process design should be robust enough to accommodate all viewers. |
Control Only: The control only displays its state. It does not send its data anywhere else or get data from anywhere else. The user can change the state of the control, but the change doesn't cause anything else to happen.
Data to Control: The control gets its value from the data item with which it is bound by the Text Data and Link Data properties. It displays that data.
