StaticLink Control

This is a subclass of the StaticText control that gives you the functionality of a hyperlink in your applications. To use it, simply drag the StaticLink control to your Window (you can find it in the Project Controls section of the control list). You can then set its behavior directly in the IDE Properties Editor. Properties include:

URL As String: specify the URL that you would like opened in the default browser when the link is clicked

LinkColor As Color: specify the color the link displays

HighlightColor As Color: specify the color the link displays when the cursor is over it

UnderlineLink As Boolean: Check this box (or set it to True in code) to have the link be underlined

This is a very simple control, but I find it to be very handy.
