Link
Regular link control with icon support.

Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a Link control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, hidden, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls except the embedded Dialog and Window controls.

alpha | Control is alpha blended.
hgradient | Draws a horizontal gradient with the colors specified.
noformat | Disables support for mIRC codes in control (faster).
shadow | Display text with a shadow.
tooltips | The link will have a tooltip.
vgradient | Draws a vertical gradient with the colors specified.
Note. shadow will only work if the text color is not black or the same as the default text color on the current windows theme (ie. $rgb(0, 0, 0) or $dcx(GetSystemColor, COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) respectively). Change it by using xdid -C

/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.

/xdid -l
This command lets you change a color in the link palette.
Syntax: | /xdid -l [DNAME] [ID] [N] [COLOR]
Example: | /xdid -l dcx 4 2 $rgb(255,0,255)
Parameters:
N | Palette color number 1-4 (see -q for color order).

/xdid -q
This command lets you load a custom palette into the link control.
Syntax: | /xdid -q [DNAME] [ID] [NORMAL] [HIGHLIGHT] [VISITED] [DISABLED]
Example: | /xdid -q dcx 4 $rgb(255,0,0) $rgb(0,0,0) $rgb(255, 0, 255) $rgb(150, 150, 150) /xdid -q dcx 4 $rgb(255,0,0) $rgb(0,0,0)
Note. You can give the command a number of colors inferior to 4, it will then only add thoses colors in order to the palette starting at 1.

This command lets you set the link text.
Syntax: | /xdid -t [DNAME] [ID] (Text)
Example: | /xdid -t dcx 4 Text Label
