Creating link to a page in Rich Text Object

[Canter]

Can anyone tell me how to create a link, within a Rich Text Object, to another AMS page (not to a URL)? For example, I want a Click Here type of link that will cause it to jump to another page.

Thanks.

Here you go i've used a richtext object and a paragraph because in a paragraph you can use on click (you will see the difference through the colours)

Thanks - I had already done it in a similar way - using a label - but a paragraph is easier to work with. I gather though it there is no way to do it directly within the RTO.

Try something like this, I've had success with this method:

on RT object 'On Selection Change'
clickhere = RichText.GetSelection("RichText1")
if clickhere.Start > 6 and clickhere.Start < 11 then
Page.Jump("Page2")
end
Where the description in the RTO = "click here to jump to page2."
Any click on position 7-10 will jump pages...

hth

That's easy. If set the text of a link to "page 2", then in the On Link event put Page.Jump(e_Link) and it will jump to page 2 when clicked.

If you don't want to use the actual page names in the text then use.

if e_Link == "sometext" then
Page.Jump("somepage")
elseif e_Link == "someothertext" then
Page.Jump("someotherpage")
-- and so on...
end

Example attached. Links are set in the pages's On Show event.

LMAO - Drat, upstaged again!:D

Nice one Dermot - that's a much better approach.

That's great - thanks so much.
