Question regards handling autodetecting hyperlinks

[tomr]

Hello RichView Support,
I have a question regarding the automatic detection of hyperlinks. The behavior can be reproduced using the RichViewActionTest demo.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start the demo and clear the RichView editor.

• Type a string that will be detected as a hyperlink (for example: [email protected]). After pressing Space, the text is correctly detected as a hyperlink.

• Select the hyperlink and execute the action “Remove Hyperlinks”. The hyperlink is removed as expected.

  Remove Hyperlinks After.png (12.04 KiB) Viewed 1261 times

• Place the cursor directly after the last character of the former link and press Space or Enter.
  At this point, the hyperlink is detected again automatically.

Is there a way to prevent the hyperlink from being detected again in this situation without disabling the automatic hyperlink detection feature entirely?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards

This feature is not implemented.
You can implement it yourself: hyperlink detection is implemented by calling rvActionInsertHyperlink1.DetectURL in OnKeyPress and OnKeyDown events of the editor.
But I think that re-detection is a normal behavior.
