How to create an URL hyperlink

[Stefano5C37]

I don't know how to create an URL hyperlink like this, with SDK:

The documentation isn't clear about it, i see these methods:

My doubts are about the textRange, usually the functions always require the TextRange but this would seem not, or I'm not understanding where to insert it.

Another doubt, i don't found a command to apply an hyperlink, i found kNewHyperlinkCmdBoss but i don't know if this boss apply the hyperlink or not.

P.S. the text that I need isn't selected by end, but i select it programmatically, so i don't use ISelectionUtils

Hi @Stefano5C37 ,

You first need to create HyperLinkSource and HyperLinkDestination and then create the Hyperlink.

Refer the below code snippet -

1. Create HyperLinkSource -

Utils<Facade::IHyperlinkFacade>()->CreateHyperlinkTextSource(textModelUIDRef, startIndex, length, &outHyperLinkSource);

2. Create HyperLinkDestination -

Utils<Facade::IHyperlinkFacade>()->CreateHyperlinkURLDestination(db, strHyperLinkURL, &outHyperLinkDest, strHyperLinkDestinationName);

3. Create HyperLink -

Utils<Facade::IHyperlinkFacade>()->CreateHyperlink(outHyperLinkSource, outHyperLinkDest, &outHyperlink, strHyperLinkURL);
