LinkLabel Control Overview (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel control allows you to add Web-style links to Windows Forms applications. You can use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel control for everything that you can use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Label control for; you can also set part of the text as a link to a file, folder, or Web page.
What You Can Do with the LinkLabel Control
In addition to all the properties, methods, and events of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Label control, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel control has properties for hyperlinks and link colors. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.LinkArea%2A property sets the area of the text that activates the link. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.LinkColor%2A, xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.VisitedLinkColor%2A, and xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.ActiveLinkColor%2A properties set the colors of the link. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.LinkClicked event determines what happens when the link text is selected.
The simplest use of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel control is to display a single link using the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.LinkArea%2A property, but you can also display multiple hyperlinks using the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Links%2A property. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Links%2A property enables you to access a collection of links. You can also specify data in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Link.LinkData%2A property of each individual xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Link object. The value of the xref:System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.Link.LinkData%2A property can be used to store the location of a file to display or the address of a Web site.
