handle multiple URL links in a richtextbox

handle multiple URL links in a richtextbox

  Thanks. I don't think that will work because the links will be dynamic and that procedure executes finding the URL when there is no text in the rtb.

  nevermind, I just realized that LinkText will recognize which link was clicked.

  yes you would have to setup error checking for the values...ie if the search string is not found it returns negative 1...now if you are saying that you don't know what the urls are in the rtb then you have some serious parsing of the richtext to do to find the potential hyperlinks

  Private Sub RichTextBox1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.MouseUp

  Dim TheUrl As String = "www.TheUrl.Com"

  Dim StartIndexOfLink As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.Find(TheUrl)

  Dim EndIndexOfLink As Integer = StartIndexOfLink + TheUrl.Length

  Dim ClickedIndex As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetCharIndexFromPosition(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

  If ClickedIndex >= StartIndexOfLink AndAlso ClickedIndex <= EndIndexOfLink Then

  MessageBox.Show(TheUrl & " was clicked!")

  End If

  End Sub
