How to: Customize the Hyperlink Form

  • 2 minutes to read

This example demonstrates how to replace the standard Hyperlink dialog with a custom form using the RichEditControl.HyperlinkFormShowing event.

private void richEditControl1_HyperlinkFormShowing(object sender,HyperlinkFormShowingEventArgs e)
{
    using (MyHyperlinkForm form = new MyHyperlinkForm(e.ControllerParameters))
    {
        e.DialogResult = form.ShowDialog();
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
using System;
using DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.Forms;

namespace CustomDialogs {
    class MyHyperlinkForm : HyperlinkForm {
        public MyHyperlinkForm(HyperlinkFormControllerParameters controllerParameters)
            : base(controllerParameters)
        {
            btnEditAddress.EditValueChanged += new EventHandler(btnEditAddress_EditValueChanged);
            btnEditAddress.LostFocus += new EventHandler(btnEditAddress_LostFocus);
        }

        void btnEditAddress_LostFocus(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            this.btnEditAddress.Text = Controller.NavigateUri;
        }

        void btnEditAddress_EditValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            Controller.NavigateUri = ValidateUrl(btnEditAddress.Text);
            this.btnOk.Enabled = true;
        }

        private string ValidateUrl(string p) {
            string s = p.Replace("devexpres.com", "devexpress.com");
            return s;
        }

    }
}
