Use Hyperlinks in license-dialog

Hello. In a normal RichTextBox, you can cehck "DetectUrls" to make URLs clickable. Is this possible in the license-dialog as well? I have a rtf-file with hyperlinks which I use, but the hyperlinks are not detected or written as www.hyperlink.com <http://www.hyperlinks.com> and not clickable.

Hi,

As I know license-dialog don't have such capabilities, so you should write your own dialog to do that.

Thanks for your reply! Any hint/links/tutorials where to start how to do that?

I didn't anticipate that you woould need a tutorial to open your RTF with Wordpad, save it as another name, then use that name in your license dialog!

@Mykhaylo Terentyak: Thanks, I will try this.

@PhilWilson: The problem is to get working hyperlinks which aren't supported by the RichTextBox by default: You have to enable DetectURLs and the handle the LinkClicked-Event, if you want to use a RichTextBox on a form.
