Rich Textbox URLS

[JohnRChick]

Hey. I just added a website url to my rich textbox and it automatically underlines it. Is there a way that I can make it so if the user clicks on that link within the textbox then it will open up the link? thanks!!

Hi,

I think you cab do it in another way.
Create a LinkLabel in your RTB and name it like your URL.
See this code:

Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
        TextBox1.Text = "Hello there"
    End Sub

Hope it helps,

hmm but the thing is that then the link away stays where you put it in the text box.. my url is at the bottom so its only visible when the user scrolls down

Hi John,

Yes I know It's me again, and again with a few links, but this time you'll find
some explanation about LinkControl;

The RichTextBox has a LinkClicked event where you would handle what you want to do when a link is clicked.

An example from documentation:

Public p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Private Sub RichTextBox1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkClickedEventArgs) _
   Handles RichTextBox1.LinkClicked
      ' Call Process.Start method to open a browser
      ' with link text as URL.
      p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("IExplore.exe", e.LinkText)
End Sub
