This example requires that the event handler has been connected to the LinkClicked event for a RichTextBox.

void Link_Clicked( Object^ sender, System::Windows::Forms::LinkClickedEventArgs^ e )
{
System::Diagnostics::Process::Start( e->LinkText );
}
private void Link_Clicked (object sender, System.Windows.Forms.LinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(e.LinkText);
}
Private Sub Link_Clicked(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkClickedEventArgs)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(e.LinkText)
End Sub
