Linking a Hyperlink Source and a Hyperlink Target 

Use

This procedure explains how to link a hyperlink source already associated with a tile control to the desired hyperlink target. You work in the Anchor Designer for the application containing the tile set to be specified as hyperlink target.

Prerequisites

You have:

·        Opened the required application

·        Created the hyperlink source and associated it with the required tile control

·        Identified the hyperlink target’s tile set, tile set container, and business component

·        Switched to the required change list

Procedure

...

       1.      In the Solution Explorer, expand the Applications node.

       2.      Click the application with the secondary mouse button and choose View Hyperlinks.

The Hyperlink Designer appears.

       3.      Choose the Hyperlink Targets tab.

The hyperlink sources already defined for the selected application appear along with the hyperlink targets assigned for them.

       4.      In the Source Tile column, locate the tile control with which you want to link to a hyperlink target.

Check the Source Name field to make sure it contains the name of the hyperlink source control. If it does not, locate the tile in the Source Tile field with the correct entry in the Source Name field.

       5.      In the Target Business Component field and choose Select.

       6.      From the popup window, choose the required business component and tile set container that you want to specify as the hyperlink target.

The available business anchors for that tile set appear in the bottom portion of the window.

       7.      Select the desired business anchor, then choose Confirm.

If the hyperlink target anchor’s business object is not identical to the hyperlink source anchor’s business object, you must either make sure a relationship exists between the business objects in the database, or write an event handler for an onHyperlinkClicked event.

Result

The respective fields in the Hyperlink Targets row are filled with your choices: Target Business Component, Target Tile Set Container, and Target Anchor. At runtime, when the hyperlink source is chosen in the tile, the tile set specified as the hyperlink target appears displaying the desired data.
