Hyperlink in WPF

Question

I was trying to find out how to create a method which will give me a possibility to type a text and specify the link there and path,  to the file on the local machine (somefile.txt), and I'd like to ask you guys support me with my question.

Example: You could download file from <here> , where <here> it's a local path: C:\\ProgramFiles.

The following code needs to be improved in a way to add mentioned functionality.

      public void AppendMessage(TextBlock textBlock, string notifyMessage, SolidColorBrush foreground)
        {
            textBlock.Text = notifyMessage;
            textBlock.Foreground = foreground;
        }

thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand your question. What's wrong with just using a System.Windows.Documents.Hyperlink, and handling the Click event? If you need to change the link at runtime you can either use a binding or modify the TextBlock.Inlines.

Answer 2

public void AppendMessageLocalLink(TextBlock textBlock, string message, string linktext)
        {
            Hyperlink hyperLink = new Hyperlink();
            hyperLink.Inlines.Add(linktext);
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(message + " ");
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(hyperLink);
        }

I need to know how to assign word to the hyperlink, to display "word" which is a hyperlink !

Answer 3

Put a Run inside the Hyperlink:

public void AppendMessageLocalLink(TextBlock textBlock, string message, string linktext)
        {
            Hyperlink hyperLink = new Hyperlink(new Run(linktext));
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run(message + " "));
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(hyperLink);
        }

Here is solution:

hyperLink.NavigateUri = new Uri(uri);

public void AppendMessageLocalLink(TextBlock textBlock, string message, string linktext,string uri)
        {
            Hyperlink hyperLink = new Hyperlink(new Run(linktext));
            hyperLink.NavigateUri = new Uri(uri);
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run(message + " "));
            textBlock.Inlines.Add(hyperLink);
        }
