This new column type allows you to have a column in your grid that users can click on to open a popup window and redirect them to a URL of your choice.

When you pass a DataTable to the grid, you unfortunately do not have a lot of control and the only thing you can do is specify the URL of the link. The attached exercice 4.3e demonstrates this simple situation. Here's a screenshot:

However, when you pass a "resultset", you have more flexibility and you can not only control the URL but also the caption visible in the grid, the height and width of the popup window, the 'name' of the window (this is important if you want links to reuse the same window or open in different windows) and you can also specify additionnal parameters such as:

• do you want the status bar to be visible?
• do you want the menu bar to be visible?
• etc.

The attached exercise 4.3f demonstrates this more advanced situation. Here's a screenshot:
