How do you change the Font and Font size of this control
Jim,
Not possible yet. Still coming.
This is now possible as of 4/10/2024, expand the “Style and theme” option in the properties to access everything Font related.
This would be really useful if it could be tied to a data source. As an example I have a form that displays links to external documentation based on the application being viewed but currently have to use a “Follow Link” button clunky at best.
Bob, just set the URL to. MyGalleryControl.Selected.MyURLField
Ive notice the tooltip for the URL property says “Website address to navigate to when the link is selected. Ignored when the control is used as a button through the As property.” Do you know anything about using the ‘As’ property with the link?
It is so disappointing that these new “modern” controls do not have the “OnSelect” property. I need to know if this Link was clicked. This should not be that difficult!
Hi, Is there a way to change the application’s url , as per my own domain <application name>.mydomain.com
