http://* to url in rtf...

[timbudtwo]

I put a rtf (rich text format) text box on my form. When running the program, if you happen to type a url in it while running it, how would it automatcly convert it to a hyperlink?

Take a look at this example from Vb-World.

That does nothing, all it does is make text blue, I want it to automatically convert to a hyperlink, not just blue text by pressing a button. I also want it to be clickable.

if you have the program stickies, you know what I mean. I just want to make a freeware version of stickies.

There is no simple Cut and paste answer for your question .
You can try this ,

but It'll probably require some work on your behalf .

Download the RichEdit control from http://www.vbaccelerator.com, it has a great auto-detect-link meganism!
