How do I determine the URL that has been clicked

Question

I am enhancing the Help System for MANASYS Jazz. I have replaced a TextBox with a RichTextBox, and now if Error Help includes URL's these are identified in the usual way - they are blue, and the cursor becomes a hand when it's over them: -

I want to be able to open these URL's by clicking them. I can use the MouseUp event to detect where the mouse has been clicked

    Private Sub rtxErrorDescription_MouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles rtxErrorDescription.MouseUp
        HelpPoint = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
    End Sub

Is there an easier way of finding the URL that includes point X=342, Y=73 than working out the line containing this point and analyzing the line to find the beginning and end of the URL?

Thank you, Robert Barnes

Hi @Robert Barnes ,

You can use the RichTextBox's LinkClicked event.
