Does RichTexBox.DetectUrls work for lik to disk file?

[Andrzej]

Hello


In Framework 2.0

this.rtb = new RichTextBox();
rtb.DetectUrl = true;
rtb.AppendText("c:/text.txt");

as a result I can see "c:/text.txt" formates as a link to file test.txt

In Framework 1.1
as a result I can see "c:/test.txt" which is not formated as a link.

My question is:
1. Does DetectUrls work only for HTTP links ?
2. Is it possible to format "c:/.." string as a link to file without addidtional extra code ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it will accept any of these protocols :

file:, mailto:, ftp:, http:, https:, telnet:, news:, wais:, outlook:, gopher:, nntp:, prospero:

To link to a file on disk, you have to supply file:, like this :

file:///C:/WhateverFolder/WhateverFile

I hope it helps.
