Can I create a label that is a link? I created the label and on the card open....

set the textStyle of "Register" to link

...where Register is the name of the label. It is not working.

I am not sure if I can create a label as a link. Is this even possible?

You need to refer to the actual label field in your script. Also, it is a bit easier to set the textStyle of the field's content, and then its linkText.

Code: Select all

set the textStyle of char 1 to -1 of field "MyLabelField" to "link"
set the linkText of char 1 to -1 of field "MyLabelField" to "This is a Test"
Then you set the script of the label field to something like

Code: Select all

on linkClicked pLink
  answer pLink
end linkClicked
Now when you click on the label's linked text, you should get a message box with the text "This is a Test" and an "OK" button.

Hope this helped,
