Program Url and Word

Hi,

:) I would like to intercept hyperlinks in Word when user is clicking on it. I have tried some ideas but no ones satisfied me. Searching on web, I managed to listen classic url from historical buffer...
:mad: But, for my problem, no way to catch program url : when you're click on hyperlink, you don't go to web page with IE but launch a program on you're hard disk tru the path found in windows register.

hyperlinks look like this :

cel:// (next program parameters) Follow/Sol:Earth (...)

cel allows computer to search program path in window register and launch it. Then the program is reading additional parameters from url.

I would like to catch string from url when it is clicked. How can I detect that url is selected in Word, and how can I get url information ?

I've tried an alternative solution : I've changed the path in register to the path of a program of mine. But if Word url launch my program, how could I pick up all url string (even url format) ?

I'm not very good in network and url processes, if someone could help me...

This appears to be more of a Word VBA question than a VB question. Moved to Office Development.

Why do you need to intercept the clicking of the hyperlinks? Just to start your program or app?

Well i want to get all url string for sending it trought lan to an other computer via Winsock functions

I want more ! My second way for getting all url string, was to rewrite program path (in windows register) of the url to one of mine : when I click on hyperlink on word, my program is launched but how can I pick up all url informations in my program for dealing with?

Anybody has a solution...? :(

Still, I would have to say that this does not sound legitimate. I dont see the need to intercept all urls like this?

I've thought I told why I want to intercept url calls from Word document : getting url string :) ! What can I add ?
Well, why I want to pick up url string when it's selected in Word document ?

...Let's describe my "cel" program url. Cel call Celestia program, the famous planetarium simulator. More, url call the program and send it some information like user position in 3D galaxy. Additional Classic Word documents, allow you to visit solar system, going from a position to and other thanks to these program urls. You're reading the document, click on url and celestia program update alone to illustrate the text.
I want to intercept these program urls when the word user click on it in order to a vb program of mine can show all clicked url string in an textbox.

As I said, I've found any solution or example code to manage that : url program doesn't appear in ie url buffer, Word Vb seems to give any opportunity to detect hyperlink and then execute code things... I've another solution, (like the web pages i think), is to send url on my vb program changing windows register of cel. The program is launched by word url when it's selected, but i don't know how can i get back url strings.

I hope I'm clearer, and this could allow you to help me !

So your trying to reroute hyperlinks from a Word doc when clicked to open your program instead Celestia?

Yes, indeed

Why not just change the links in the Word doc, save the doc, and be done with it?

I don't would like to do any modification in my documents

Why not that would be the simplest and quickest solution.

:D Because there is a lot of documents (no finite number) and hyperlinks !
I've tried to reroute them changing cel path but after how can I pick up all url string in my program... no idea! I would prefer a lot that my program react at word url call instead of that !
