The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I set the font color of url in RichTextBox control

Asked by locke_a in C# Programming Language, .NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: RichTextBox, c#, DetectUrls, WinForms

I have a WinForm application written in C# that has a RichTextBox (rtb) control.  The rtb has DetectUrls set to true and I handle the url fine.

When an event occurs in my application, I append text to the rtb using the AppendText method and set the font color for the "new" text that I'm appending using the SelectionColor property.  There are different colors for different events (message types), etc.  This works great except when a url is detected.  The rtb has a black background and the link is black rendering it invisible.

This application is used on a number of PC's with the same result; however, it recently came to my attention that there is one PC running the application where the links show up as white against the black background.

I don't want to use a WebBrowser control and use HTML, and I don't want to disable DetectUrls and try to format them on my own losing the ability to click them.

How do I control the font (color, face, etc) for a detected url in a RichTextBox?
