Add URL inside the Message Catalog

We have usually find ourselves in a situation where we have to add URLs inside the message catalog. Here is a very simple way to do it:

Step 1. Add HTML Area on the page. I usually select value field and assign it a work record and a field name. Check on HTML Tags Only.

Step 2. Create message catalog but where you need to add the link, use html tags. I usually do this way under description:

<p>We are creating link to <a href="gmail.com">gmail</a> from message catalog</p>

Step 3. Use Peoplecode on page activate to get the text and the link:

Record.Field.Value = MsgGetExplainText(Message Set, Message Number, "");

PS: You can change the font size, font style anything....
