Description

If a label text is specified using HTML, i.e., starting with the <html> prefix, the attached demo presents how an application can determine whether one of the hyperlinks has been clicked.

The demo uses a customized view mode to listen for clicks, performs a hit test on labels, and then determines on what HREF element within the HTML label the click actually occurred on.
