  Hello,

  we are using Spread.NET v14 WinForms which includes the new Excel compatible hyperlinks feature. This works well as long it is a real WinForms application.
  
  Because we want to use it in our existing WPF application and at the same time still want to use the full power of the WinForms control, we are running it inside a WindowsFormsHost container.

  With this setup the hyperlinks are still displayed, but no longer executed.
  
  How can we get those hyperlinks working as they are promoted with the new version?

  Attached you can find a simple example that illustrates the problem.
  
  PS.: It also contains a workaround that fails as well, based on some invalid reported IHyperlink.Range values. Details in the sample.

  Hello,

  The FpSpread was created with LegacyBehaviors is All. To make the hyperlinks work, it should be created with LegacyBehaviors is None.
  
  The MainWindow.xaml should be modified like this:```
  
  
  
  <WindowsFormsHost.Child>
  
  <fp:FpSpread x:Name=“excelViewerWinForms” Dock=“Fill” LegacyBehaviors=“None”/>
  
  </WindowsFormsHost.Child>
