Detecting URL in RichTextBox Control?
-
Hai, On RichTextBox Control, there's a property "DetectUrls". When the property value is "true" then any word begin with "www." on that richTextBox will be treated as Hyperlink. my Question : How do we treat the text on richTextBox as hyperlink manually? Or, maybe there's any class that we could edit so there will be more word pattern to be treated as hyperlink? thankz for the information

Probably by using regex on the string.

Regex? I don't think that's what I mean. I suppose Regex is used to check over some word pattern, right? what I mean here is how to make some String (i.e hello, it is me) to be treated as hyperlink. Just like in html, when you want to put some hyperlink you put tag between the string.
[hello, it is me]([this is the link to be clicked])I've search through RichTextBox methods and properties, but I found nothing related to the hyperlink thing except DetectUrls and LinkClicked. Why am I using this? well, I try to retrieve some data in database and present them in the richTextBox. some fields need to be hidden until someone want to show it. And I'm thinking of using the hyperlink to be the trigger to show the hidden field. :confused::confused::confused: thankz for the info :rolleyes: Newbie.. Newbie.. Newbie.. Newbie..

That is the good and fastest method to find any text matching to a pattern.

You need to write a Regex pattern that finds "hello" from the text, and replaces the match with
<a href="[this is the link to be clicked]">hello, it is me</a>
