Return Value

If auto-URL detection is active, the return value is 1.
If auto-URL detection is inactive, the return value is 0.

Remarks

When auto URL detection is on, Microsoft® Rich Edit is constantly checking typed text for a valid URL. Rich Edit recognizes URLs that start with these prefixes:
http:
file:
mailto:
ftp:
https:
gopher:
nntp:
prospero:
telnet:
news:
wais:
outlook:
Rich Edit also recognizes standard path names that start with \\. When Rich Edit locates a URL, it changes the URL text color, underlines the text, and notifies the client using EN_LINK.
