How can I get a FlowDocument Hyperlink to launch browser and go to URL in a WPF app?
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.
#region Activate Hyperlinks in the Rich Text box //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5465667/handle-all-hyperlinks-mouseenter-event-in-a-loaded-loose-flowdocument 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.aspxThat's if you need to convert HTML to a Flow Document. Although, that's slightly out of the scope of this topic.
