Also if an item is a hyperlink then when the mouse moves over it the mouse pointer should become the "hand" cursor. That way people would know it was a link and not just some underlined text (which is what it is now)]]> Wed, 29 Dec 2004 14:55:27 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1597&PID=4561&title=popupcontrolitem#4561 <![CDATA[PopupControlItem : PopupControlItem is incomplete.

PopupControlItem is incomplete.

Once again I find myself saying "oohh look a lovely control" followed about an hour later by "arrrghhh crap it doesnt work"
I am getting sick and tired of beta testing for you guys. Sort it out or start paying me!!!

If I want to make a PopupControlItem a hyperlink I have nowhere I can store the URL for that hyperlink.

For static destinations this doesnt matter because just like in your example you can hard code a link in the PopupControl_ItemClick event.
But what do you do if the url is dynamic? for example you want to link to a record in a database or open a report just created? or link to that new email that has just arrived?

There is nowhere for this information to be stored in PopupControlItem and so when the time comes in PopupControl_ItemClick to do your linking to recordid=34234 you cant.

I find this staggering since this control is obviously a copy of the control used by microsoft in its email programs and was designed to replicate this - how did you miss this in testing?
