How to get HyperLink Text from C# in WPF?

Question

I have a WPF Hyperlink which I\'m trying to get the text content from.

For example:

Answer 1

If you really need to get the text contained within the Hyperlink, you can dig in to the Inlines property it exposes and get it.

var run = HLCustomers.Inlines.FirstOrDefault() as Run;
string text = run == null ? string.Empty : run.Text;

Note, that this will only work if the first inline in your Hyperlink is indeed a Run. You can finagle with this example for more complex cases.

Answer 2

Just put a TextBlock inside and enjoy its binding flexibility .

If it's still not an option for you - use Run.Text property which is perfectly suitable solution for Hyperlink

Answer 3

Is adding a text block a problem?

<Hyperlink Command="{Binding CustomersCommand}" Name="HLCustomers">
    <TextBlock Name="HLCustomersContent">
        Customers
    </TextBlock>
</Hyperlink>

Then you could just reference it as:

var text = HLCustomersContent.Text;

The .Text property on a WPF Hyperlink object is set to internal, so unless you overrode it and exposed the text property, it is not as easily as accessible as you would might like.
