[HELP] C# HTML Parsing Listbox

Tornquist

I am building a messaging system. I would like to add html to the strings that a user sends, and then display them as parsed html. Meaning, I want any links sent as a message to be hyperlinked. Right now I am using a listView to display the messages. I can change to any control necessary to accomplish this, but I would like it to have the same end feeling as the listView, just with hyperlinks. The listview has columns for timestamp, recipient, and message. Each new message occupies a single row. If anyone knows how this can be accomplished, help would be gladly received. Thanks.

I have started rewritting the client with a web browser control already. I am going to add each new post to the end of the [webBrowser1].DocumentText string. It works quite well.

I am not sure of the details of how, but you probably can use the WebBrowser control in one of the columns. The WebBrowser control might be a little tricky since you need to use the DocumentCompleted event to put the HTML in the control. I think my article about web site scraping might help, but there are other samples of the WebBrowser conrol that could help.
