Hi Mark,

I had the same issue (I too am a newbie). This is how I solved it (I'm sure

Sergey will let us know if there is a better way).

1) I captured the [space] and [return] key in rve.OnKeyDown like this:

procedure TForm.rveKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;

  Shift: TShiftState);

Const

REMOVEHYPERLINK=1;

var

StyleNo:integer;

begin

if (key=vk_return) or (key=vk_space) then

begin

    StyleNo:=rve.getitemstyle(rve.curitemno);

    if (RvStyle1.TextStyles[StyleNo].Jump)

    then

    Begin

         if (RvStyle1.TextStyles[StyleNo].Jump) then

         rve.ApplyStyleConversion(REMOVEHYPERLINK);

    end;

end;

end;

2) And also captured [return] in OnKeyUp to remove the tag, like this:

procedure TForm.rveKeyUp(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word;

  Shift: TShiftState);

begin

if (key=vk_return) then rve.SetCurrentTag(MakeTag(''));

end;

The bit I've not included here is how I 'closed off' the hyperlink using

rve.ApplyStyleConversion(REMOVEHYPERLINK) and reverted back to the previous

style, if you're unsure how to do this let me know.
