C# Add-in for outlook to search and create a link

[arnott]

hi All,
I am new to C#. I am using Visual Studio 2008 with visual studio tools for office and outlook 2007. I want create a add-in that will search incoming messages and find the text with something like "pdfile://1234" and make it a click-able link, and when the link is clicked launch a event handler that will open another application to fetch the document.

I found some examples here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905540.aspx and am learning it.

I want to know how to add the event handler to a string in the text of the message body ? Any relevant example available online ? Hints or example code will be very helpful.

Thanks,
Arnott

Somewhere there is an autoparser that converts the http://whatever/ into links for you in outlook. Maybe there is some way that you can "piggyback" onto that?

At any rate, if the message is (or can be) displayed as html, you could just wrap the code in a <span> tag and add a javascript onclick() event to it?

Thanks for your quick reply. I will search for the autoparser and modify it.
