# What's the Developer Express equivalent of System.Windows.Forms.LinkButton?

I can't seem to find [Developer](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157260/variation-between-web-designer-and-web-developer) [Express](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156025/how-to-use-garmin-express-software)' [version](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12845/things-to-remember-while-migrating-odoo-to-a-better-version) of the [LinkButton](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2100/linkbutton-to-expand-gridview-causes-row-colors-from-function-to-be-lost). (The [Windows](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/311752/how-to-install-and-use-the-google-wifi-software-on-a-windows-or-mac-computer) [Forms](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/34192/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-authentication-mode-forms-element-in-web-config) linkbutton, not the [ASP.NET](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/934/default-folders-available-inside-the-asp-dot-net-application-folder) linkbutton.) HyperLinkEdit doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for since it looks like a TextEdit/TextBox.

[Anyone](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23207/how-to-find-the-best-fit-job-for-anyone) know what their version of it is? I'm using the [latest](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159680/how-can-i-install-the-latest-version-of-sql-server) DevX [controls](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/66/how-to-create-controls-at-run-time-in-csharp-dot-net): 8.2.1.

The control is called the HyperLinkEdit. You have to adjust the properties to get it to behave like the System.Windows.Forms control like so:

```
   
control.BorderStyle = BorderStyles.NoBorder;   
control.Properties.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Transparent;   
control.Properties.AppearanceFocused.BackColor = Color.Transparent;    control.Properties.ReadOnly= true;
```
