Hyperlink string not showing

Hi Team,

I have a hyperlink in my page which is behind a Label control.
In the process of running the installation program, this hyperlink " " will not be displayed, and the hyperlink string will only be displayed after clicking the location of the hyperlink.
What properties need to be set to ensure that hyperlinks are always displayed?


Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

This might happen if you placed the hyperlink control under (behind) the Text box, something like in the following screenshot:

Hi Catalin,

I set the hyperlink to "Bring To Front" and it still doesn't show. You still need to click the hyperlink once before it is displayed.

Thanks,
Andrew

Re: Hyperlink string not showing

Hello Andrew,

I have tested this and can indeed confirm the behavior.

It looks like this is a bug on our side cause by the "Enhanced User Interface" option, which is needed to render your theme.

I have forwarded this to our development team and hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Until then, the only solution I see here would be to have the hyperlink outside the "Static Text" control.

Re: Hyperlink string not showing

Hello Andrew,

As a followup to my last post, in the meantime, our dev team has been able to find a "fix" for this.

On Enhanced User Interface, the hyperlink control has to be placed before the static text control in the "Control Tab Order" dialog.

To reach this dialog, please go to "Dialogs" page, select the dialog where your hyperlink control is and click on the "Edit" button from the toolbar.

This way, the hyperlink should be displayed as expected.

Hope this helps!
