Ws.URL

With the Ws.Url Control you can place a URL in the body of a form in a position that you specify. In addition, you can specify a textual description for the link and create a new window when the link is clicked.

The Ws.URL Control also provides the ability to render a browser inside your form. However, some sites may not work inside the Form and will need to be launched using the New Window option.
