DBRichEdit and hottext Or URL Links

Hi,

I am having issues with hottext or URLLinks. While typing or entering data in the DBRichEdit box  I could see the URLLink get active, (I have AutoUrlDetect property is true). I can save the text in database successfully. When I retrieve the data the URLLink does not appear to be active link. It is just like plane text. It gets active if I add a space at the beginning or end of the UrlLink text.

Could anybody help me to resolve the issue? Is there any thing else I am missing?

I am using Delphi 2005, Interbase/SQL Server database.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
ktuser.


FYI: The same functionality used to work in previous version of application which was developed using Delphi 5 and DBRichEdit component.

Resolution is found.
I need to use DBRichEdit.GetRTFText  function to store the text in the database and after assigning text to DBRichEdit again I need to use it to get the format back.
> There is no such property.
Yes there is...
DBRichEdit1.PlainText

Controls whether the rich edit control treats the text as plain text or rich text when streaming to or from a file.

property PlainText: Boolean;

Description

To write the rich text in the control to a plain text file, set PlainText to True before streaming the text to a file. To ignore the rich text information encoded in a file, set PlainText to True before streaming the text to the control. To stream in the rich text attributes encoded in a file, or save the encoding of the rich text attributes to a file, set PlainText to False.

If the rich text attributes of a file are encoded in some format other than rich text format (RTF), it is necessary to use a converter on the text, even when PlainText is True.

Note:      Rich edit controls do not directly support streaming. Use the Lines property to stream to or from a file.
