Create a Link Label using WinForms

The following code is an example how to create a link label using WinForms in PowerShell:

$LinkLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel

$LinkLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(20,50)

$LinkLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(115,20)

$LinkLabel.LinkColor = "#0074A2"

$LinkLabel.ActiveLinkColor = "#114C7F"

$LinkLabel.Text = "Your Link Text Here"

$LinkLabel.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("http://77.104.138.174/~powershe/power-shell.com")})

$Form.Controls.Add($LinkLabel)

And here is a demo form showing 3 link labels:

Code:

#Create Form Object

$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400,300)

$Form.Text = "Link Label Demo"

$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen" #loads the window in the center of the screen

#Link Label 1

$LinkLabel1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel

$LinkLabel1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(30,50)

$LinkLabel1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)

$LinkLabel1.LinkColor = "BLUE"

$LinkLabel1.ActiveLinkColor = "RED"

$LinkLabel1.Text = "Your Link Text Here"

$LinkLabel1.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("http://technet.microsoft.com")})

$Form.Controls.Add($LinkLabel1)

#Link Label 2

$LinkLabel2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel

$LinkLabel2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(30,90)

$LinkLabel2.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)

$LinkLabel2.LinkColor = "GREEN"

$LinkLabel2.ActiveLinkColor = "BLUE"

$LinkLabel2.Text = "Your Link Text Here"

$LinkLabel2.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("http://technet.microsoft.com")})

$Form.Controls.Add($LinkLabel2)

#Link Label 3

$LinkLabel3 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel

$LinkLabel3.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(30,130)

$LinkLabel3.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,20)

$LinkLabel3.LinkColor = "RED"

$LinkLabel3.ActiveLinkColor = "BLUE"

$LinkLabel3.Text = "Your Link Text Here"

$LinkLabel3.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("http://technet.microsoft.com")})

$Form.Controls.Add($LinkLabel3)
