Heyas Jonas...
While I dont have an example worked up (never needed this before), was
just curious as to what the problem was...
Does the control not underline the link at all or are you not getting
notifications to your parent?
If its not underlining the text I would look at the call to the RichEdit
control with the CHARFORMAT2 structure as the culprit.
If this (seems) ok but you are not being notified, make sure you set up
the event mask first :)
(ie To receive EN_LINK notifications, specify the ENM_LINK flag in the
mask sent with the EM_SETEVENTMASK message)
