Inserting Hyperlinks into Forms

Inserting Hyperlinks into Forms

If you wish to insert a hyperlink into a form, the following code should be inserted in to the Code section of the form (fr3) to allow the link to run in Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Adobe PDF viewers when a '#' is included in the file path. eg: O:\Ostendo\Ostendo-Docs\PRO401342#01\Test_Doc.pdf

For the purposes of this example we are inserting the Document File Path Name into Memo 74.

procedure Memo74OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);

var

  pdf: string;

  i: Integer;

begin

  pdf := ;

  i := pos('#',pdf);

  if i > 0 then

    pdf := copy(pdf,1,(i-1)) + '%23' + copy(pdf,(i+1),length(pdf)-i);

  Memo74.hyperlink.value := 'file:///' + pdf;

end;
