Add Hyperlinks in Aspose.Note Documents

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add hyperlinks to text within Aspose.Note documents using the .NET framework. Aspose.Note provides powerful features to manipulate OneNote documents programmatically. Adding hyperlinks can enhance the interactivity and usability of your documents, making them more engaging for users.

Prerequisites:

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  1. Basic understanding of C# programming language.
  2. Visual Studio installed on your system.
  3. Aspose.Note for .NET library installed. You can download it from here.
  4. Familiarity with the structure and components of Aspose.Note documents.

Import Namespaces:

First, you need to import the necessary namespaces into your C# project. These namespaces provide access to the classes and methods required for working with Aspose.Note documents.

using System;
using System.Drawing;

Step 1: Create a New Document Object:

Begin by creating a new instance of the Document class. This object will represent your Aspose.Note document, to which you will add the hyperlink.

Document doc = new Document();

Step 2: Define Text Styles:

Define the text styles for the regular text and the hyperlink text. You can customize various attributes such as font color, font name, and font size according to your preferences.

TextStyle textStyleRed = new TextStyle
{
    FontColor = Color.Red,
    FontName = "Arial",
    FontSize = 10,
};

TextStyle textStyleHyperlink = new TextStyle
{
    IsHyperlink = true,
    HyperlinkAddress = "www.google.com"
};

Step 3: Create RichText Objects:

Create RichText objects for the text segments you want to include in your document. Append the appropriate text and apply the desired text styles to each segment.

RichText text = new RichText() { ParagraphStyle = ParagraphStyle.Default }
                    .Append("This is ", textStyleRed)
                    .Append("hyperlink", textStyleHyperlink)
                    .Append(". This text is not a hyperlink.", TextStyle.Default);

Step 4: Create Outline and Outline Element:

Create an Outline object and an OutlineElement object to structure your document content. Append the RichText object containing the hyperlink to the OutlineElement.

Outline outline = new Outline()
{
    MaxWidth = 200,
    MaxHeight = 200,
    VerticalOffset = 100,
    HorizontalOffset = 100
};

OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement();
outlineElem.AppendChildLast(text);

Step 5: Add Elements to Page:

Create a Title object and a Page object. Append the Outline object to the Page. Finally, append the Page to the Document.

Title title = new Title() { TitleText = titleText };
Page page = new Note.Page() { Title = title };

page.AppendChildLast(outline);
doc.AppendChildLast(page);

Step 6: Save the Document:

Specify the file path where you want to save the Aspose.Note document and call the Save method to save it.

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(dataDir, "AddHyperlink_out.one");
doc.Save(outputFilePath);
