I need to have something like:

"This is my text, click here to do something."

According to this article on delphi.about.com

Unfortunately, Delphi's implementation of the RichEdit control leaves out a lot of the functionality found in more recent versions of this control (from Microsoft).

You can add your own functionality as discussed here.

NOTE: Delphi 2009 has just been released, so the TRichEdit control may have been updated to support mode features.

If you really want hyperlinks and more, you could check out TRichView. There is a good demonstration of its capabilities at link text.

We should note that the library is about $400. – Gabriel Mar 01 '17 at 12:59

i don't know if it's mentioned in the About.com article but i think it's worth mentioning that the hyperlink in TRichEdit only works if the TRichEdit itself is directly placed on the form (not in a panel).

It is mentioned in the about.com article; they even present a workaround for it. – Martijn Jul 03 '10 at 17:05

We should note that the library is about $750. A big price for such a small feature. – Gabriel Mar 01 '17 at 13:01
