Overview

Use External Link Definition to specify link control settings. A link control is a button that can be used to display images, play multimedia files, run programs, open a new dialog box, or perform DDE scripts. Link controls are especially useful because you can create scripts that include data values from the module panel. The link control functions similarly to a button; many of the control properties are identical to that of a button control.
