Hyperlink Object

Using the properties and methods of the Hyperlink object, your ActiveX document or ActiveX control can request a hyperlink-aware container, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, to jump to a given URL.

Remarks

Use the NavigateTo method to jump to a URL. For example, the following code presumes an ActiveX document named "axdMyDoc" exists:

UserDocument.Hyperlink.NavigateTo _
"c:\mydocs\axdmydoc.vbd" 

If your ActiveX document is contained by a hyperlink-aware container (such as Internet Explorer), and if the container maintains a history of documents, use the GoBack or GoForward methods to go backwards or forwards through the list. However, be sure to use error-checking, as shown in the example below:

Private Sub cmdGoForward_Click()
   On Error GoTo noDocInHistory
   UserDocument.Hyperlink.GoForward
   Exit Sub
noDocInHistory:
   Resume Next
End Sub
