Hello,
Is it possible to create a custom link in a RichTextBox control I know you can enable DetectURL and any text w/ "http://" or "www." will become a hyperlink. What I need is some way to assign an aribtrary text as a link.
If it's not possible, how would I go about overwritting the control to enable custom links Thanks!
RichTextBox creating a custom link??

The RichTextBox class does not make public the ability the set arbitrary text with the link attribute.
You'll have to override the RichTextBox class and PInvoke SendMessage with a CHARFORMAT2 structure with the EM_SETCHARFORMAT message.
