Remarks

A "link control" provides a convenient way to embed hypertext links in a window. The actual control is a window that renders marked-up text and launches appropriate applications when the user clicks an embedded link. Multiple links are supported within one control and can be accessed by a zero-based index.

This control (and therefore the CLinkCtrl class) is available only to programs running under Windows XP and later.

For more information, see SysLink Control in the Windows SDK.
