Hyperlink in PDF

[Freeport LNG Development]

Hello 

We are using the PDFViewer embedded in our application, and it all seems to work fine. What we have not been able to figure out is to capture a hyperlink click before it gets "opened" and determine the url for the link and decide what do to at that point. 

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks

Hello,

As there are other requests for this feature, we will implement it for the LIB (Latest Internal Build) next week. In addition, we will make sure to provide sample code showing how to handle the hyperlinks.

Kind regards,

Hello

Thank you for your quick response. Am I correct in assuming you will inform about the internal build once it is available?

Thanks

Hi,

The LIB was published just now.

In this latest version, In order to handle a hyperlink when it is clicked, you should attach to AnnotationClicked event of the RadPdfViewer and use something like this:

private void viewer_AnnotationClicked(object sender, AnnotationEventArgs e)
{
    Link l = e.Annotation as Link;
    if (l == null)
    {
        return;
    }
    UriAction a = l.Action as UriAction;
    if (a == null)
    {
        return;
    }
    MessageBox.Show(a.Uri.ToString());
    e.Handled = true;
}

Note that in the future there could be annotations other than Links and Link annotations could have not only UriAction. Also the Action property itself can be null (when the Link annotation is using destination instead).

I hope this helps.

All the best,

There was a small delay with the display of the uploaded files. The Silverlight 5 version of the controls should be visible and available for download now.
