programmatically make textblock with hyperlink in between text


In XAML I have the following code:

    <Label Width="120" Height="20" Name="label1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
        <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
            click
            <Hyperlink RequestNavigate="Hyperlink_RequestNavigate" NavigateUri="foo">here</Hyperlink>
            please
        </TextBlock>
    </Label>

Now I'd like to get rid of the whole TextBlock XAML and add that bit programmatically. I have no trouble creating the TextBlock, setting the Text property to 'click please' and adding a Hyperlink to TextBlock.Content. But how do I position the Hyperlink in between 'click' and 'please'? And how do I set the text of the hyperlink to 'here'?

I haven't got much going, so far all I got is this:

    label2.Content = new TextBlock() { Text = "click please" };
    //(label2.Content as TextBlock).Content does not exist?
    //and even if it does.. how do I squeeze the hyperlink in between the text?

Solution

  • Here's the code to add a TextBlock with a clickable link in the middle :

    Run run1 = new Run("click ");
    Run run2 = new Run(" Please");
    Run run3 = new Run("here.");
    
    Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink(run3)
                           {
                               NavigateUri = new Uri("http://stackoverflow.com")
                           };
    hyperlink.RequestNavigate += new System.Windows.Navigation.RequestNavigateEventHandler(hyperlink_RequestNavigate); //to be implemented
    textBlock1.Inlines.Clear();
    textBlock1.Inlines.Add(run1);
    textBlock1.Inlines.Add(hyperlink);
    textBlock1.Inlines.Add(run2);
