clickable email address

[giannis]

How can I make a clickable email address in a text box ?
Is possible ?
Thanx !

Clicking would interfere with editing (how do you know hwat is the purpose
of the click ?). I would rather create a button near the textbox and would
use the textbox for editing as usual and the button for launching the mail
client using this address... Or you could use the double click event but IMO
it will be perhaps less discoverable...

What is the code for launching the email client ?
I am newbie in VB . Can you see me the command (methond) for this ?

Try :
Process.Start("mailto:[email protected]")

It executes a command line but the as the command line processor also
recognize also the mailto of http protocol, it allows to launch a mail
client or to open a web site without knowing what is the current client
and/or browser...

Process.Start("mailto:[email protected]")
