RichTextBox file link

I am having a problem with creating file links in a RichTextBox. The
problem occurs when there is a space in the name of a folder in the
path. So if I have

string path = "C:\\My Documents";
string fileName = "someFile.t xt";

string link = "file://" + path + "\\" + fileName;

The link will appear, but only up to "My" and not extending to
"Documents" , so when the link is clicked on an error is thrown. Is this
just a bug in Windows, or is there an attribute I can set, or a
different way to create my link to fix this?

I am trying to spell check a richtextbox. Through code (shown below) I save the contents of the richtextbox to a rtf file, open the rtf file in Word, spell check it, save it, and then load the ftf file back into the ricktextbox using loadfile. The problem is that the richtextbox seems to remain bound to the rtf file. If I make a change in the richtextbox after spell checking, the changes are successfully saved to the database but if the...

Suppose I have a .Net C# Winforms App with a RichTextBox control and I want to provide an option for the user to open the Rtf in Word, edit it in Word and get the edited value back to my C# app dynamically (not with an external file). Where should I start? Is there a document explaining this? I read msdn but I did not see exactly what I am looking for thanks,

The documentation for the RichTextBox is sketchy at best. I want to do a very simple task but I cannot find information on this. I am using a RichTextBox as an output window. Some text I want to just add plain (e.g.. rtf.Text += "new stuff..."; ) but some text, when added, I want to be in a different color or font size. Find() will not work because the text will vary. I have delimiters on it so I could recognize it with a regular ...

I'm having trouble reading quotations inside the richTextBox when a file is opened on to it. I've tried a couple different methods, most of them didn't compile. I came across one that does compile and supposedly it's suppose to work but it doesn't in my case. I tried this code to see if it would recognize the quotations. For testing purpose I wanted to see if it would start the string from the quotation. str =...

In my app I would like to change the color of the hyperlink from blue to purple when a user clicks the hyperlink in a RichTextBox. The DetectUrls property is set to True and I handle the RichTextBox1.LinkClicked event to launch a browser window. That works fine. The problem is that once the DetectUrls property is True the RichTextBox control shows the link in blue even if I select the text and change the SelectionColor to purple. For...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
