How can I add an HyperLink in TRichEdit using Delphi

Question

How can I add an HyperLink in a TRichEdit (using Delphi).

I need to have something like:

"This is my text, click here to do something."

Answer 1

According to this article on delphi.about.com

Unfortunately, Delphi's implementation of the RichEdit control leaves out a lot of the functionality found in more recent versions of this control (from Microsoft).

You can add your own functionality as discussed here.

NOTE: Delphi 2009 has just been released, so the TRichEdit control may have been updated to support mode features.

Answer 2

If you really want hyperlinks and more, you could check out TRichView. There is a good demonstration of its capabilities at link text.

Answer 3

The richedit in Infopower supports hyperlinks.

Answer 4

I'm also using TRichView, and is really the best rich editor for delphi

Answer 5

i don't know if it's mentioned in the About.com article but i think it's worth mentioning that the hyperlink in TRichEdit only works if the TRichEdit itself is directly placed on the form (not in a panel).
