Hello,

I am evaluating the TRichView control. And so far it looks really awesome. I

am mostly interested in using it for an html type of editor and so far so

good. However I am trying to figure out how to implement hyperlinks as the

user types.

I have already studies the demos, and the unit you have URLScan. I would

like to implement something like this but as the user types.

For example:

The user types a valid web or email address. After he presses the space key

or enter key i would like to identify the current item text (this i have no

problem) and if it is a valid web address or email address, I would like to

set the text style to a URL Style(blue color, underline, etc. This style

already exists) and set the items string tag to the valid URL or EMail

address. I have got it working fine on the first item, however whenever i

have two email addresses or web addresses one following the other they unite

into one text style.

So what should look like this

www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

ends up looking like this

www.yahoo.com_www.yahoo.com

The space converts itself into the style of the two items. Is there any

logical way that i can do this.

Thanks,

Robert
