DETECTURL Property

9.0B, PLBCMP GUI Only

The DETECTURL property controls the state of URL detection logic. The property uses the following format:

DETECTURL={value}

Note the following:

1. DETECTURL may be used in CREATE, SETPROP, or GETPROP statements for RICHEDITTEXT objects.

2. If DETECTURL is enabled, the rich edit control scans any modified text to determine whether the text matches the format of a URL. The control detects several URL formats including the following formats:
   
   http:<text with no whitespace>
   file:<text with no whitespace>
   mailto:<text with no whitespace>
   ftp:<text with no whitespace>
   https:<text with no whitespace>
   gopher:<text with no whitespace>
   nntp:<text with no whitespace>
   prospero:<text with no whitespace>
   telnet:<text with no whitespace>
   news:<text with no whitespace>
   wais:<text with no whitespace>
    

3. If a URL is detected and highlighted, the Change Event is triggered.

4. {value} is a decimal number, a Numeric Variable, an Expression, or a keyword as defined in PLBEQU.INC. The supported values and keywords are:
    

Value	Keyword	Any text entered into the object ...
0	$OFF	is not examined. (default)
1	$ON	that is determined to be a Uniform Resource Locator is formatted as a link. If a left mouse button is pressed while over a link, the $LINKCLICK event will occur.
