Hi Masters.

I can add a hyperlink by using Doc.Addlink method and add an underscore under the link text by using AddAnnot.

I also want to make the link show tooltip when the text is pointed by mouse. I read through the reference and can't get any idea about how to do it.

Can anybody please give me some suggestion?

Thanks

Eric

Consider using a button instead, which will allow you to specify a tooltip text string.

Note that both a link annotation and a button can have a line style of underline, so you don't need to add the other separate line annotation to provide an underscore.

A button can have the same action (Mouse Up) as a link annotation.

Thanks, George.

Is Field object the right one I need dig in? It seems has some methods with "button" operation.

Yes, a button form field (doc.addField()). The properties you'd set are borderStyle for the underscore and userName for the tooltip text. Also fillColor (set to color.Transparent), rect (to specify location and size), and setAction() to specify the Mouse Up action.
