Overview
Links help users navigate the help system. A link can be established:
  • on a word or on a group of words.
  • on an image.
For example:
Link in a help page
WINDEV allows you to create a link to:
  • a help page of the current help system.
  • an anchor in a help page of the current help system.
  • a help page of another help system in the project.
  • a web page.
The characteristics of the links are specified in the Link properties.
How to?

Creating a text link

To create a link:
  1. Display the help page that will contain the link in the help editor.
  2. Select the group of words for which the link must be created.
  3. On the "Modification" tab, in the "Edit" group, click "Link". You can also select "Insert a link" in the context menu. The link properties window appears.
  4. Define the characteristics of the link. For more details, see Link properties.
  5. Validate.

Properties of a text link

Once created, the link is used to display the help page specified in the current help window: the new help page replaces the help page currently displayed.
These characteristics can be changed via the link properties. For example, the help page can be displayed as a "popup window".
To open the link properties:
  1. Position the mouse cursor on the text of the link.
  2. Double-click the link text or select "Link properties" in the context menu.

Creating an image link

Images inserted into a help page can contain one or more links to other pages. These images then become clickable images. These links can be created when the image is inserted into the help page or later via the properties of an image.

Deleting a text link

To delete a link:
  1. Open the help page that contains the link in the help editor.
  2. Position the mouse cursor on the word or on the image containing the link.
  3. Select "Delete link" in the context menu. The link is automatically deleted.

Deleting all the text links in a page

To delete all the links in a page:
  1. Open the help page in the help editor.
  2. Position the mouse cursor in the page.
  3. Select "Delete all links" in the context menu.

Deleting one or more image links

To delete the links defined on an image:
  1. Select the clickable image.
  2. Select "Image properties" in the context menu.
  3. Select the link to delete and click the "Delete" button. For more details, see Image properties.
