Hyperlinks are cross-references that connect related information.
Hyperlinks enclosed by the < and > characters are called “buttons.” Navigate through the Help system by using these buttons.
You can press TAB to move to the next hyperlink button within the Help window. Pressing SHIFT+TAB moves to the previous button. In PWB and CodeView, typing any letter moves the cursor to the next button that begins with that letter; holding down SHIFT and typing a letter moves the cursor backward.
The Microsoft Advisor also recognizes language keywords, library functions, constants, and similar identifiers as hyperlinks, but these are not marked. Unmarked hyperlinks are recognized by the Microsoft Advisor wherever they appear in the Help text or in your source code. However, an unmarked hyperlink is not delimited with the < and > characters, and you can't move to it with the TAB key.
An unmarked hyperlink can be executed only by pointing to it with the mouse and clicking the right mouse button or by placing the cursor on it and pressing F1. In QuickHelp, press the S key and then type the text of the hyperlink in the dialog box. In CodeView, use the Help (H) Command-window command.
·To activate a hyperlink with the mouse:
1.Move the mouse pointer to the hyperlink.
2.Click the right mouse button. -or-Click the left mouse button twice (double-click). Double-clicking works only in the Help window.
·To activate a hyperlink with the keyboard:
1.Press TAB, SHIFT+TAB, or the ARROW keys to move the cursor to the hyperlink. When you move the cursor to a hyperlink button, the entire button is selected.
2.Press F1, ENTER, or SPACEBAR.
Any of these actions displays information about the topic at the cursor. If the topic isn't a hyperlink, a message informs you that no information on the topic could be found.
Note :
CodeView uses the right mouse button differently in the Source window. Clicking the right button in the Source window executes the program to the line where the mouse was clicked. However, once the Help window is displayed, the right mouse button can be used to activate hyperlinks.
