Hyperlink with a calculated link

What are you actually trying to achieve - a reaction when someone clicks the hyperlink, or build a document with the computed URL in it?

In WPTools 6 there is InputHyperlink. I think its in V4 as well (long time ago). Calculate the URL you want, position the cursor where you want and call InputHyperlink(url)

That should do it.

I think there might have been a small language problem. I am now guessing that you have a document with a hyperlink and you want the link to be calculated when the user clicks it.

If that's right I think you need the HyperlinkEvent or OnTextObjectClick event. The version 6 OLH recommends OnClickHotText

If the latter you'll need to test if it was a hyperlink object

When the event responds to the click or double click (can't remember which) in the code for the event you can calculate the URL and do what you like with it.

That would have been useful information to post at the start.

I never bought WPReporter so all I can go in is the WPTools manual. It looks as though there is an event on the WPSuperMerge component OnGetText which is a bit like the mailmerge event. Possibly that will do what you want.

I don't know if this will help but stop thinking of it as a document and a hyperlink and think of it as a stream of characters. What you want to do is change part of that stream. The mailmerge field is simply a marker for where you want to insert the new text along with a visual representation that there's something there.

What you want to replace this visual representation with is a small piece of program code which consists of an opening tag, the program (ie the URL), a visual representation and a closing tag.

So a solution would be to insert a mailmerge field into normal text and replace it with the full "program code" ie opening tag, url, visual representation, closing tag.

I don't think its going to be possible to make it look like a URL in the mailmerge field but that's all.
