Thread: Links in RTF viewer

    Default Links in RTF viewer

    Hi!

    Is there a way for the SB10 RTF file viewer to handle http links? The links are valid in WordPad, and worked in the older WISE installers, but display in SB10 as '<mylink>' and aren't active/clickable.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Unfortunately, the standard Windows Rich Text Controls do not support hyperlinks It's not a SB10 RTF file viewer, it's the underlying and built-in Windows RTF Control.

    I'll check if it is possible to "subclass" the RTF control to open the link in the default Internet browser.

    Please check this small test "installer" (it only displays a dummy RTF file, does not install anything, opens www.lindersoft.com when you click the URL in the RTF):

    http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/Hyperlink.zip

    Does this work on your machine(s)?

    Friedrich,

    I'm highly in favor of this feature It would be a nice workaround to remedy the EULA length restriction.

    The link worked on my machine.

    Kevin,

    this feature already works fine and will be available in the soon coming new build. The length restriction should not be a problem... did you open the .rtf in WordPad and re-save it to get rid of the garbage ("overhead" from Word, etc. <g>)?

    The length restriction is still a thing; and yes, I saved the RTF with WordPad... It's simply just a longer license file. I can send it to you if you'd like. Its 149 KB in size to be precise. The "Word" version is 762KB. When you license for multiple countries, it'll get that big.

    Thanks for the links, looking forward to it. And thank you for the code-signing #pragma scripting. It works great.

    Could you please send me that EULA.rtf?

    Thanks for the file. Yes, this file is really that large. Not sure if it is possible to increase the size in the compiler to process it because 100 KB is a fix limit in the runtime. We'll see what we can do.

    Kevin,

    I have increased the sized limit for the license agreement text file to 200 KB. It seems to work fine, but we have to check for negative side effects.
