Link to Documents pdf
« on: June 29, 2021, 08:43:55 AM »
Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to add some PDFs about the machine documentation and open them from AHMI (not embedded, just a link to open the OS default PDF viewer).

I cannot find an easy way.

Thank you!

You need to make sure to set that pdf file to copy to output directory then add a button to the form and use its Click event:


Code: [Select]
    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Process.Start("QuickStart.pdf")
    End Sub
