Custom Links

[Braulio]

Hi,
we are evaluating RadRichTextBox at the moment, because we have some specifice requirements.

We wanna show a textbox where the user can enter simple text, but furthermore we have some custom links in the text. This links point to another item in our application.

This can look like this:

"[X] is doing [Y]" where [X] and [Y] are two links. The source of this links are simple Ids, but we also wanna shows some custom tooltip.

I guess that I can do this using a InlineUIContainer.
 
The second requirement is that we wanna support Intellisense for the links, how can we do this and is there any example for this requirement?

Hello Braulio,
You can customize the default hyperlinks by putting some special info in the navigate URL, and then parse it in the hyperlink click event, for example:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radRichTextBox.HyperlinkToolTipFormatString = "{1} to go to the user with id: {0}";
    this.radRichTextBox.HyperlinkNavigationMode = HyperlinkNavigationMode.Click;
    this.radRichTextBox.HyperlinkClicked += this.radRichTextBox_HyperlinkClicked;
}

void radRichTextBox_HyperlinkClicked(object sender, HyperlinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Navigate to user with id: " + e.URL);
}

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    HyperlinkInfo hyperlinkInfo = new HyperlinkInfo()
    {
        NavigateUri = "1234"
    };

    this.radRichTextBox.InsertHyperlink(hyperlinkInfo, "user X");
}

For more info on how to use hyperlinks, please refer to this help article.
Unfortunately Intellisense-like functionality is not implemented, and we believe it is out-of-scope of RadRichTextBox as a product.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
