I'm using the RadRichTextBox and am looking for an easy way to recognize and format hyperlinks when the user types them or paste them into the textbox (just like facebook or g+ does when you post a hyperlink). Short of checking the content on change for http:// and formatting is there a way to do this with the default properties? It seems like something that would just work out of the box.

Hi Mike,

Hyperlinks cannot be pasted automatically in RadRichTextBox for Silverlight, as Silverlight's clipboard supports only plain text. We have considered automatic detection of hyperlinks when a user types a hyperlink or pastes one, but this feature has not been scheduled yet.

Best wishes,
