C# WPF Text with links

Question

I just found myself a new challenge: Make a Word Processor that is in handling more like the web than plain text. Designing a nice framework for this is what i cant wait to

Answer 1

The simplest way is to handle RequestNavigate event like this:

...
myLink.RequestNavigate += HandleRequestNavigate;
...

private void HandleRequestNavigate(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   var link = (Hyperlink)sender;
   var uri = link.NavigateUri.ToString();
   Process.Start(uri);
   e.Handled = true;
}

There are some issues with starting a default browser by passing url to the Process.Start and you might want to google for a better way to implement the handler.
