links in an edit box

[Adam1213]

I was wanting to have a link in an edit box it would need to move

I do not think you can have a link in an edit box but you can make a label into a link and move it according to where you want it. But then again, I may be wrong.

[Valuater]

the edit box could say

www.autoit3.com

and when iy is clicked on you could read the control... find what was clicked... see that it was this link... then run the explorer & link

in that case I guess I will have to write something to get the position of text in an edit box and make a label stay behind it

[Valuater]

better yet... just change this

guictrlcreateedit

to

guictrlcretelist

then each one is singularly selected by guictrlread

no sorting is needed

You may wish to check out Lazycat's RTF plugin (which will need the beta to work).

It does colour reall nicely thanks (I was wanting that) but it does not add links to URLS

I don't know the specifics as I've not used the plugin, however RTF has the capability to embed hyperlinks. I might download the plugin now and take a look.

Odd. I've been able to create an RTF that shows up as below in AbiWord:

AutoIt Forums

however when I create an AutoIt GUI using the following code:

Local $RTFPlugin = PluginOpen('RTFPlugin.dll')
Local $GUI = GUICreate('Hyperlink Test', 320, 240)
GUISetState()
Local $RTFControl = GUICtrlCreateRTFEdit($GUI, 12, 12, 320 - 24, 240 - 24)
GUICtrlRTFLoad($RTFControl, 'LinkTest.rtf')
Sleep(2000)
PluginClose($RTFPlugin)

the RTF file shows up precisely like this:

AutoIt Forums <http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/>

that is, the URL is shown instead of being clickable; so now I'm not so sure how to achieve hyperlinks using the RTF plugin. Perhaps Lazycat himself will chance upon this thread and offer some advice.
