Parse hyperlinks

Hi,
I would like to render a text on a form, but make the http links active. I
know how to find them with Regex, but I have no idea how to make them
clickable...with all text flow capabilities... I think this behaviour is
requested quite often, any hints?
It would be nice if it could be done generally (handle click on any custom
"hot" keywords...) Thanks for ideas.

Given your text, you can break it up and build up the following structure:

<TextBlock>
<Run Text="aaa" />
<Hyperlink><Run Text="bbb" /></Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
tb.Inlines.Add(new Run("aaa"));
tb.Inlines.Add(new Hyperlink(new Run("bbb"));

See also the NavigateUri property and Click event of the hyperlink.

Well that looks great. Now.. should I take the string, split it to
text/hyperlinks and then add these to the TextBlock, or is there any elegant
way to do this on TextBlock text at once?
Thanks,
Jan
