If the only thing in the editfield is the web address then it's quite easy.
In the editfield's MouseDown Event Code: Return TrueThat's just so the MouseUp event will fire.
In the editfield's MouseUp event Code: ShowURL me.Textpan>

You could use the mouse down / mouse up events and GetCharPosAtXY. Alternatively you could use
the SelChanged event and SelStart property. Basically, you have to figure out what word you&#
39;re in (loop backwards from your position and look for whitespace) and then you can use inst
r to look forward for a word ending. Once you know what word you're in, it should be fairl
y easy.

I'm confused too. Remember, we can only go on what you've told us about your problem.
SirG3 and I have given answers based on entirely different editfields and, although his assumptions probaby more likely in the real world, we're still no nearer knowing which is correct in your case.
For now, let me make some statements about your problem. I can't believe they're all right, so you let me know which ones are wrong, and why.
1. You have an editfield that contains nothing but a single web address like this http://www.realsoftware.com
2. When you right-click (or control-click on a mac) the editfield, a menu pops up
3. This is because you have some code including "contextualMenu4.open"
in the MouseDown event of the editfield
4. When someone clicks anywhere in the editfield, you want the browser to open and navigate to the address that is in the editfield
It would also be helpful to know what version of RB you are using and on what platform, though I don't think this is particuarly relevant to your problem.

Sorry i think iv kind of explained it wrong. Let me try a bit better the editfield is a chat screen so its a big editfield that allmost covers the screen what i want exactly is when some one displays a url in the chat room itself i want the url to be clickable on my program the program is a client for ares p2p so when the client is in a chat room and some one displays a url weblink it comes out as normal text like this as i want it to be clickable on my clinet.
now as for the editfield i have contextualMenu4.open command in the mousedown event version is for this program im using 5.5.5 and im on windows xp i hope iv explained it so u can understand it better.

Then you can ignore my simplistic early suggestion. You've got a bit of work to do.
I suggest you write a function to return the current word, following SirG3's suggestion of walking back and forward from the editfield.CharPosAtXY until you find a space, tab, endofline, angle-bracket etc.
The function should return the word as a string
Once you have that function, you can call it each time you detect a mousedown and decide whether it begins with "http://", "https://"
"mailto:"
or anything else you conside to be a URL.
If so, then you can use "ShowURL returnedString"
to open the browser.
You'll probably find the current word function will come in handy for other things later.

Another idea (probably easier than looking for whitespace) would be to look for links in the t
ext when you append it to your editfield, then store the positions of the link. I'll try t
o code an example up for you.

You really should have said you were using 5.5 earlier. Here's a link to the project changed to work on 5.5:

Woops! Missed that spot when I was removing the 2k5 features.
Code: dim pos as integer = charPosAtXY( x, y )
// look through the links to see if we've clicked on one
for i = 0 to ubound( links )
dim link as Link = links( i )
if link.start <= pos and link.stop >= pos then // yay, we've found one
currLink = link
colorizeLink( link, &cFF0000 )
return True
end if
next
