AboutSyed Rizwan Muhammad Rizvi Expertise I can answers questions regarding web based and desktop based programming in VB.Net. Which can include SOAP, XML, Custom Controls, COM Interoperability etc.
Experience Have been working in this specific area for last 2 years previously I was a VB 6 Developer with experties in other languages as well. Total 10 years of programming experience.
My application can dynamically create strings that can be pasted into the address bar in a browser.
Thus far, I have been successfull in putting this string into the clipboard. It works fine.
I would like to copy the string into the clipboard as a hyperlink. I can wrap the string in a HTML tag, but all I get is a longer string.
example...
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/">TinyURL</a>
I would like to copy this string into the clipboard. Then I would like the string to magically convert to a hyperlink. After all, it looks like a HTML tag.
I could then paste into Microsoft Word, Excel, email etc as a hyperlink.
Any help would be appreciated.
Answer there is no magic in life :) all effort, if you paste only the URL e.g. http://SomeURL then MS Office software will automatically convert it to a hyper link, or otherwise you will need to create an MS Word object at the back and add a new hyperlink into it using MS Word and then ask MS word to copy it for you so its compatible between MS word applications. All that done programmatically.
