The following code in a WPF app creates a hyperlink that looks and acts like a hyperlink, but doesn't do anything when clicked.
What do I have to change so that when I click it, it opens the default browser and goes to the specified URL?

XAML:
<Window x:Class="TestLink238492.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<StackPanel Margin="10">
<ContentControl x:Name="MainArea"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Code Behind:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
namespace TestLink238492
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
FlowDocumentScrollViewer fdsv = new FlowDocumentScrollViewer();
FlowDocument doc = new FlowDocument();
fdsv.Document = doc;
fdsv.VerticalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Hidden;
doc.PagePadding = new Thickness(0);
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
doc.Blocks.Add(paragraph);
Run run = new Run("this is flow document text and ");
paragraph.Inlines.Add(run);
Run run2 = new Run("this is a hyperlink");
Hyperlink hlink = new Hyperlink(run2);
hlink.NavigateUri = new Uri("http://www.google.com");
paragraph.Inlines.Add(hlink);
StackPanel sp = new StackPanel();
TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
tb.Text = "this is textblock text";
sp.Children.Add(tb);
sp.Children.Add(fdsv);
MainArea.Content = sp;
}
}
}
I found the answer to this one, you have to add RequestNavigate and handle it yourself:
Run run2 = new Run("this is a hyperlink");
Hyperlink hlink = new Hyperlink(run2);
hlink.NavigateUri = new Uri("http://www.google.com");
hlink.RequestNavigate += new System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventHandler(hlink_RequestNavigate);
paragraph.Inlines.Add(hlink);
void hlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
{
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri));
e.Handled = true;
}
Got the solutions for this Poma. The code section below should be added to your class where you need to do this. Or you can put it in a static class somewhere if you need to get to it from multiple files. I've tweaked it slightly for what I'm doing.

void SubscribeToAllHyperlinks(FlowDocument flowDocument)
{
var hyperlinks = GetVisuals(flowDocument).OfType<Hyperlink>();
foreach (var link in hyperlinks)
link.RequestNavigate += new System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventHandler(link_RequestNavigate);
}
public static IEnumerable<DependencyObject> GetVisuals(DependencyObject root)
{
foreach (var child in LogicalTreeHelper.GetChildren(root).OfType<DependencyObject>())
{
yield return child;
foreach (var descendants in GetVisuals(child))
yield return descendants;
}
}
void link_RequestNavigate(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
{
//http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2288999/how-can-i-get-a-flowdocument-hyperlink-to-launch-browser-and-go-to-url-in-a-wpf
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri));
e.Handled = true;
}
#endregion Activate Hyperlinks in the Rich Text box
You'll call it in your code like this:
string xaml = HTMLConverter.HtmlToXamlConverter.ConvertHtmlToXaml(this.itemControl.NotificationItem.Body, true);
FlowDocument flowDocument = XamlReader.Load(new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(xaml))) as FlowDocument;
SubscribeToAllHyperlinks(flowDocument);
bodyFlowDocument.Document = flowDocument;
All the HTMLConverter stuff can be found at: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wpfsdk/archive/2006/05/25/606317.aspx
That's if you need to convert HTML to a Flow Document. Although, that's slightly out of the scope of this topic.
