Friendly name in Hyperlink Help

[guga]

Hi guys

i´m having trouble making a friendly name hyperlink on a richeedit control.

I suceed to insert a object and links to it, but i got stuck when trying to make the links be friendly name.




I don´t know how to mask the "HYPERLINK" token to show the friendly name.

jj2007 you told me once how, but it couldnt do it....Can u help me on this ?

If others knows how to make, please let me know.

BestRegards,

guga

Afaik there is no "built in" way of using hyperlinks this way, so for RichMasm I rolled my own. It's not straightforward but it works just fine.
Under the hood it looks suspiciously similar to the tags used by the forum software
You need to define delimiters and hide them, and when loading the file, find them and put the link style on what is between the two tags.
Below you see what happens if you "comment out" a line with a link in RichMasm: the hidden parts become visible.

Hi JJ...tks..but i still don´t know how to define the delimiters.

From your code i see that you used EM_FINDTEXT, EM_SETEVENTMASK etc...

but....how you use them to mask the text and where did you inserted the main code? Inside WM_CREATE/WM_INITDIALOG or WM_COMMAND or WM_NOTIFY?

I also found some article on this..but i still don´t get how to enable it.

You could go the official way, but note that even Win7 WordPad does not offer the option to insert a link. And Murray (Mr RichEdit in M$ - he is the author of that crappy control; note that \fldresult is plain wrong) writes...

A friendly name hyperlink is essentially a field with two parts: an instruction part containing the URL and a result part containing the name. In fact that's the way it appears in RTF, which has the syntax {\field{\*\fldinst {HYPERLINK "..."}}{\fldresult{...}}}.

... and Ms Word inserts this:
this is a }{\field{\*\fldinst {\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af9\afs20 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\f9\fs20\cf18\lang2055\langfe1033\langnp2055\insrsid7172340

Have fun...

P.S.: I add the short version. Open in Notepad or qEditor to see

[guga]

Hi JJ....i´ll give a try, but...also...i´ll test the official version first (although it is undocumented or incomplete documented)

Anyway, i converted the Tom interfaces IID and classes enumerations displacements if you or others wants to try this as a COM feature.
Btw, i´m readng Murray´s Blog, and it is quite a excelent matterial. Too bad the M$ official documentation is poor.

Here is some other good info about ITextServices

Btw, i´m readng Murray´s Blog, and it is quite a excelent matterial. Too bad the M$ official documentation is poor.

Wait until you get bitten by his control

For example, friendly links work just fine, it's a bit complicated at first but a few lines are sufficient to insert a link, or to open one. Provided you have the right RichEdit version. The one that comes with Office11/12 works great, but not all users have installed Office, and if a user once opens and saves the doc with the original RichEd20.dll that comes with XP and Win7, all your friendly links become gibberish - and no, you can't read them any more when reopened with the Office11 dll.

By the way, they all claim to be the same dll - RichEd20 aka RichEdit 3.0.
You can use RichEdit 4.1 instead, but it means an entirely different set of bugs, pardon: features.

[dedndave]

couldn't you subclass the control and make your own friendly link ?

[jj2007]

Subclassing is not needed, there is the EN_LINK notification, but "roll your own" is indeed what works under the hood e.g. in RichMasm. The nuisance is that in order to identify your links, you must search for them - and that is relatively slow in a RichEdit control. If you have a dozen links in a 10,000 lines file, you start feeling it.

It's a shame that Microsoft still ships a totally outdated version of RichEd20.dll with XP & Win7. The Office versions are fine, the best one sits e.g. in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE11\RICHED20.DLL under Win7-32.

[guga]

Ok, i found something that may lead to the proper official way.

The code is in .NET and need to be converted to RosAsm/Masm or even C syntax.
The article is from http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/9196/Links-with-arbitrary-text-in-a-RichTextBox

How to convert this stuff to assembly ?

(Don´t ask me how i made this stuff show like this, because i was just clicking here and there in VIsualStudio, since i´not at all used to .NET stuff

It's a shame that Microsoft still ships a totally outdated version of RichEd20.dll with XP & Win7. The Office versions are fine, the best one sits e.g. in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE11\RICHED20.DLL under Win7-32.

what really sux about that is...
i might write some code and think it's good, until someone runs it without office - lol
and - had you not mentioned it, a person could pull their hair out trying to figure out why
i looked for a related hotfix, but had no luck
that doesn't mean there isn't one - there are a number of hotfixes for richedit
just that none of them seem to mention friendly hyperlinks

Ok, i found something that may lead to the proper official way.

Well, not really:
      /// Insert a given text at a given position as a link. The link text is followed by
      /// a hash (#) and the given hyperlink text, both of them invisible.
      /// When clicked on, the whole link text and hyperlink string are given in the
      /// LinkClickedEventArgs.
      ...
      IntPtr res = SendMessage(Handle, EM_SETCHARFORMAT, wpar, lpar);
That is the unofficial way I am using in RichMasm, only that instead of a # sign I opted for the Forums (url=http...)friendly(/url) links, for good reasons. It works, but as mentioned above, the downside is you need to explicitly set the CFE_LINK style at prog start because our dearest friend from Redmond decided that this style is not to be set permanently

(by the way: why is that C .Not so hilariously complicated? ::) in assembler it's much simpler...)

Finally :)

I did it...i had to use only Msftedit.dll with RichEdit50W class. :):):)

it seems that also it can handle tables properly :)

It seems to work only for  Windows XP SP1 or later but...at least it worked :).

I´ll try to refine the code because on my tests, i Kinda....mix it up a bit ;)

I suceeded after analysing this damn .NET file :)

Btw:

I just found those other good info here:

I did it...i had to use only Msftedit.dll with RichEdit50W class. :):):)

Good luck. It expects Unicode everywhere, but that shouldn't be a problem.
3.0 from Office11/12 handles tables, too.

Ok

friendly name is working



Now it only needs to grab the url string to be open. Probably needs a few changes in EN_LINK message.

I´m tired...will make further tests tomorrow:)
