RadRichTextBox hyperlink dialog issue

[Sebastien]

Hi,

We're using version 2015.2.728.45 of Telerik UI for WPF and we are encountering an issue with the hyperlink dialog. Here is the related xaml code used in the ribbon of the application:

<telerik:RadRibbonButton LargeImage="pack://application:,,,/Telerik.Windows.Controls.RichTextBoxUI;component/Images/MSOffice/32/inserthyperlink.png" telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI.RichTextCommand="{Binding Path=ShowInsertHyperlinkDialogCommand}" telerik:ScreenTip.Description="Create a link to a Web page, a picture or an e-mail address." telerik:ScreenTip.Title="Insert Hyperlink" Size="Large" Text="Hyperlink" />

Each time we insert/update an hyperlink using the "Insert Hyperlink" modal dialog, we get an extra "http://" prefix added to the beginning of the address. What should we do to avoid this behaviour?

Thanks for your help,

Sébastien

Another question: is there a way to use other protocols than http (for example UNC)?

[Sebastien]

OK I think I understand the issue:

"http://blabla.com" is supported by the hyperlink dialog

"http://blabla.com/bla bla" is not supported because of the space and will add an "http://" prefix each time you edit it...

Can you fix this?

Hi Sebastien,

This is a known behavior of the RadInsertHyperlinkDialog and it is related to its implementation. When the URL doesn't match the regular expression, an "://" is added to the string.

You could create a custom dialog and implement its behavior according to your preferences. The Custom InsertHyperlingDialog demo shows a sample on how this could be achieved.

Hope this helps.
