Step 4: Run VBS code that adds hyperlinks to Excel
Execute the following VBS code that exports an Excel file with hyperlinks on a cell or cell ranges.
'====================================================================================
' Tutorial 15
'
' This tutorial shows how to create an Excel file with hyperlinks in VBScript.
' EasyXLS supports the following hyperlink types:
' 1 - hyperlink to URL
' 2 - hyperlink to file
' 3 - hyperlink to UNC
' 4 - hyperlink to cell in the same Excel file
' 5 - hyperlink to name
'
' The link can be placed on a range of cells.
'
' Every type of hyperlink accepts a tool tip description.
'
' Every type of hyperlink accepts a text mark. A text mark is a link inside the file.

How to run VBScript tutorial In order to run the tutorial create a file named Tutorial15.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial15.vbs.
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
