- Intercepting the click performed on a link in an edit control
- Limitation
AutomaticLink (Property) In french: LienAutomatique
The property AutomaticLink property allows you to: - determine if the automatic link detection mode is enabled,
- enable or disable the automatic link detection mode.
This property is available on: - multiline Edit controls..
- Word Processing controls.
When this property is enabled for an Edit control, links are automatically displayed as clickable links. The following links are taken into account: - URLs. For example, "http://www.windev.com".
- full paths or UNC paths to a file. For example, "C:\temp\MyImages.gif". The link is displayed only if the file exists.
When the user clicks this link, the corresponding file is automatically displayed ( ShellExecute is automatically executed with the text of the link as parameter). The click can be intercepted by the WM_USER + 853 event (see the Notes). To select the link (without opening the document), all you have to do is press the Ctrl key. When this property is enabled for a Word Processing control, links are detected during input, after pressing Space, Tab or Enter. If these links already exist, they can be opened with Ctrl + Click. Remark: This property is identical: - the "Display and enable the links" option in the "Details" tab of the Edit control description window.
- the "Automatically detect and format links" option in the "General" tab of the Word Processing control description window.
