import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Link;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
public class LinkCreate {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Display display = new Display();
    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    Link link = new Link(shell, SWT.BORDER);
    link.setText("This a very simple  widget.");
    link.setSize(140, 40);
    shell.pack ();
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
      if (!display.readAndDispatch())
        display.sleep();
    }
    display.dispose();
  }
}

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Event;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Link;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Listener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
public class LinkControlEventSelection {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Display display = new Display();
    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    Link link = new Link(shell, SWT.BORDER);
    link.setText("This a very simple  widget.");
    link.setSize(140, 40);
    
    link.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
      public void handleEvent(Event event) {
        System.out.println("Selection: " + event.text);
      }
    });    
    
    shell.pack ();
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
      if (!display.readAndDispatch())
        display.sleep();
    }
    display.dispose();
