Adding hyperlink to dynamically created label in VBA Excel

Atul Patil :

I have multiple labels created dynamically on Userform. I want to add a hyperlink to the created labels, is there a way I could add hyperlink to these labels. Here is the code of how I created the labels dynamically.

Private Sub cmdViewReports_Click()

    Dim row_num As Long
    Dim fso As Object
    Dim src_path As String
    Dim dest_path As String
    Dim sub_folder As String
    Dim theLabel1 As msforms.Label
    Dim inc As Integer
    Dim my_files As Object
    Dim my_folder As Object
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim ctrl As Control

    'Check if the record is selected in listbox
    If Selected_List = 0 Then   

        MsgBox "No record is selected.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Upload Results"

        Exit Sub

    End If

    'Folder Name to be created as per the 3rd column value in the list 
    sub_folder = Me.lstDb.List(Me.lstDb.ListIndex, 3)

    sub_folder = Replace(sub_folder, "/", "_")

    dest_path = "C:\abc\xyz\Desktop\FV\" & sub_folder & "\"

    Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")

    If Not fso.FolderExists(dest_path) Then

        MsgBox "No reports are loaded"

        Exit Sub

    End If

    Set my_folder = fso.GetFolder(dest_path)
    Set my_files = my_folder.Files

    i = 1

    For Each oFiles In my_files
        Set theLabel1 = Me.Frame1.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", "File_name" & i, True)
                    With theLabel1
                        .Caption = oFiles.Name
                        .Left = 1038
                        .Width = 60
                        .Height = 12
                        .Top = 324 + inc
                        .TextAlign = 1
                        .BackColor = &HC0FFFF
                        .BackStyle = 0
                        .BorderStyle = 1
                        .BorderStyle = 0
                        '.Locked = True
                        .ForeColor = &H8000000D
                        .Font.Size = 9
                        .Font.Underline = True
                        .Visible = True
                    End With

                inc = inc + 12
                i = i + 1

    Next   
End Sub

here's how the part of the form looks like

part of the form

To give a brief of my use case: I have some files/reports (pdf,word etc..) that I need to attach to a record. User can attach their reports to the records and also view reports if they are attached. So with the above code I am able to generate the labels with the files inside the folder; now when the file names are displayed on the form, I want a functionality where is I click the report(label) I want that report to open.

Thanks in Advance !!!

Brian M Stafford :

You can use most of the code in this answer with only slight modification. You will need to modify the MyControl class to use Labels instead of CommandButtons. You will also need to modify the event to pass the file name.

Once these modifications are complete, your code is pretty much the same, too. Here is your original code, simplified and modified to illustrate the concept:

UserForm

Option Explicit

Private WithEvents MyNotifier As Notifier
Private MyControls As Collection

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
   Set MyNotifier = GetNotifier()
   Set MyControls = New Collection
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   Dim i As Integer
   Dim inc As Integer
   Dim theLabel1 As MSForms.Label
   Dim mc As MyControl

   inc = 0

   For i = 1 To 2
      Set theLabel1 = Me.Frame1.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", "File_name" & i, True)

      With theLabel1
          .Caption = "filename" & i
          .Left = 100
          .Width = 60
          .Height = 12
          .Top = 20 + inc
          .TextAlign = 1
          .BackColor = &HC0FFFF
          .BackStyle = 0
          .BorderStyle = 1
          .BorderStyle = 0
          '.Locked = True
          .ForeColor = &H8000000D
          .Font.Size = 9
          .Font.Underline = True
          .Visible = True
      End With

      Set mc = New MyControl
      mc.Add theLabel1
      MyControls.Add mc

      inc = inc + 12
   Next
End Sub

Private Sub MyNotifier_Click(ByVal Filename As String)
   MsgBox Filename
End Sub

And here is the modified support files for quick reference:

Module

Option Explicit

Private m_Notifier As Notifier

Public Function GetNotifier() As Notifier
   If m_Notifier Is Nothing Then Set m_Notifier = New Notifier

   Set GetNotifier = m_Notifier
End Function

Notifier Class

Option Explicit

Public Event Click(ByVal Filename As String)

Public Function Click(ByVal Filename As String)
   RaiseEvent Click(Filename)
End Function

MyControl Class

Option Explicit

Private MyNotifier As Notifier
Private WithEvents MyLabel As MSForms.Label

Public Sub Add(ByVal c As MSForms.Label)
   Set MyNotifier = GetNotifier()
   Set MyLabel = c
End Sub

Private Sub MyLabel_Click()
   MyNotifier.Click MyLabel.Caption
End Sub
