ActiveX Hyperlinks (HLINK.DLL) Headers for Delphi

Microsoft's ActiveX Hyperlinks technology allows you to add hyperlinking support and integration of key ActiveX Hyperlink features (such as Forward, Back, Home, History and Favorites) into existing documents, objects and applications.

Being a programmable interface, your document server can choose to support various degrees of integration with the ActiveX Hyperlinks architecture, from simple hyperlinking through to more complex integration with the entire hyperlinking architecture.

Whilst this code contains the header definitions for HLINK.DLL it also contains the definitions for ITargetFrame2, ordinarily defined in MsHtml.h but missing from MsHtml.pas, and IUrlHistoryNotify which is defined in UrlHist.h. The complete list of interfaces and functions defined are:

Interfaces    IEnumHLITEM IHLink IHLinkBrowseContext IHLinkFrame IHLinkSite IHLinkTarget ITargetFrame2   (Note: ITargetFrame2 should be defined in MsHtml.pas, not HLink.pas) IUrlHistoryNotify   (Note: IUrlHistoryNotify is defined in UrlHist.h, not HLink.h)

Functions    HlinkClone HlinkCreateBrowseContext HlinkCreateExtensionServices HlinkCreateFromData HlinkCreateFromMoniker HlinkCreateFromString HlinkCreateShortcut HlinkCreateShortcutFromMoniker HlinkCreateShortcutFromString HlinkGetSpecialReference HlinkGetValueFromParams HlinkIsShortcut HlinkNavigate HlinkNavigateToStringReference HlinkOnNavigate HlinkOnRenameDocument HlinkQueryCreateFromData HlinkParseDisplayName HlinkPreprocessMoniker HlinkResolveMonikerForData HlinkResolveShortcut HlinkResolveShortcutToMoniker HlinkResolveShortcutToString HlinkResolveStringForData HlinkSetSpecialReference HlinkTranslateURL HlinkUpdateStackItem OleSaveToStreamEx
