I have a textblock as given below. I would like to make just one word clickable. Kind of like a hyperlink to another page.
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="I can haz " />
<Run Text="Cheezburger" Click="Cheezburger_Click" />
</TextBlock>
Is such functionality possible?
Does this work for you?
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="my link " />
<Hyperlink Click="Hyperlink_Click" >www.stackoverflow.com</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

I have got multiple TextBlocks whose Text is inserted through DynamicResource. They are all set to TextWrapping="Wrap". But inside those Text-strings I have words which are not allowed to be split up. Those words must be kept as a whole word.
With hardcoded Text in Xaml it's quite easy solved via a TextBlock inside a Textblock:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
Example text with wrap and <TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text=" example text without wrap"/
</TextBlock>
But this solution does not work when Text the is inserted through DynamicResource, because the text is not getting parsed.
How can I combine nowrap and wrap inside a DynamicResource Text without splitting it into multiple TextBlocks one after another?
PS: I have now created an example to demonstrate the behavior I would like (green) and the failed attempts (red, orange, darkred) of solving it:
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="80" Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="green">
bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 <TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="Together(en)"/> bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="red">
bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 Together(en) bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="orange">
bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 Together(en) bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" Foreground="DarkRed">
bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 Together(en) bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
Use NO-BREAK SPACE in your dynamic text. For example:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
Example text with wrap and example text without wrap
</TextBlock>
You can replace space with this char in those parts that you need this behaviour:
Replace(" ", System.Convert.ToChar(160))
Have you considered using 'WrapWithOverflow' instead of 'Wrap'?
This will only break the line if a space appears.
You can then set the words that must appear together with dashes,e.g.-
'regular line and words-that-shouldn't-break'
You should use Run:
<TextBlock>
<Run Text={x:static SomeText} />
<Run Text={x:static SomeNoWrapText}
TextWrapping="NoWrap"/>
<Run Text={x:static SomeMoreText} />
</TextBlock>
It's a bit much for a comment, but also not a complete answer.
Lets translate your example piece of XAML from all the implicit contents to a full qualified structure.
Your simplified XAML, using the implicit content properties and so on:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="green">
bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 <TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="Together(en)"/> bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak
</TextBlock>
Equivalent actual structure:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="green">
<TextBlock.Inlines>
<Run Text="bla1 bla2 bla3 bla4 "/>
<InlineUIContainer>
<InlineUIContainer.Child>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="Together(en)"/>
</InlineUIContainer.Child>
</InlineUIContainer>
<Run Text=" bla5 bla6 longWordWhichShouldBreak"/>
</TextBlock.Inlines>
</TextBlock>
This should give you some idea about the complexity of what you have in your XAML. You can't archieve the same result by simply setting the Text property.
Currently I can't answer how to solve this issue, since DynamicResource is not enough information to start transforming into above structure.

In Windows Phone (on both Windows Phone 7.1 and Windows Phone 8), in a block of text with wrapping I want a subtext to be underlined and clickable. However, Runs in TextBlock/RichTextBox don't have any events. Using WrapPanel of WPToolkit I could achieve the desired wrapping by putting each words in a separate TextBlock, but i loose the ability to set TextAlignment to Justify. Is there a better way to do this?
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
<Run Text="I have a paragraph consisting of multiple lines that I want to be neatly wrapped with just one word that I'll be able to "/>
<Run TextDecorations="Underline">tap</Run>
</TextBlock>
<toolkit:WrapPanel>
<TextBlock Text="I "/>
<TextBlock Text="have "/>
<TextBlock Text="a paragraph "/>
<TextBlock Text="consisting "/>
...
<TextBlock Text="able to"/>
<TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline" Tap="HandleLinkTap" Text="tap"/>
</toolkit:WrapPanel>
Does https://stackoverflow.com/a/15148602/546896 solves your problem?
I know little hackish way but still see if it works.
<RichTextBox TextWrapping="Wrap">
<Paragraph>
<Run Text="I have a paragraph consisting of multiple lines that I want to be neatly wrapped with just one word that I'll be able to " />
<Hyperlink Click="HandleLinkTap">Tap</Hyperlink>
</Paragraph>
</RichTextBox>
iHi, in my Windows Phone application in View I have:
<TextBlock x:Name="lblink" FontSize="15" Margin="30,0,24,0" Height="30" Text="*use a email#mail.com if you are not the member" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
I need to make the functionality like this: when I click on the text: "email#mail.com" it should be called an event
How can I resolve this issue?
So, try using following code:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="*use a "/>
<TextBlock Text="email#mail.com" Tap="TextBlock_Tap"/>
<TextBlock Text=" if you are not the member"/>
</StackPanel>
Why not use a HyperlinkButton. This allows you to set text in the Content property, and then implement the Click event handler.
Alternatively, you could use a Template for a button control:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MyButtonTemplate" TargetType="Button">
<TextBlock x:Name="lblink" FontSize="15" Margin="30,0,24,0" Height="30" Text="*use a email#mail.com if you are not the member" TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
</ControlTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
Which is implemented as follows:
<Button x:Key="MyButton" Template="{StaticResource MyButtonTemplate}" Click="MyButton_Click" />
You can then do whatever you need to in the MyButton_Click event handler.
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="*use a " />
<Hyperlink Click="[click event]">
<Run Text="email#mail.com" />
</Hyperlink>
<Run Text=" if you are not the member" />
</TextBlock>
This provides you the clickable region I think you are looking for.
In a WPF application I load news from an RSS feed. The contents are displayed in a TextBlock. This TextBlock has a certain size. Contents are cut off by the TextTrimming method.
Now I would like at the end of each TextBlock to insert a hyperlink button. The only problem is I do not know exactly what position will be cut on my string. Is there a way to figure this out?
When I insert my Text in my TextBlock and then my Hyperlink-Button, my HyperlinkButton will be cut of. Can I prevent to cut off my HyperlinkButton?
XAML-Code:
<TextBlock Name="myText" />
C#-Code:
Hyperlink hlink = new Hyperlink(new Run("here"));
myText.Inlines.Clear();
myText.Inlines.Add(value); //description from RSS Feed
myText.Inlines.Add(hlink);
Why not just add the HyperLink after the text, by replacing both items in a StackPanel?
If I understood your requirements this is one way to achieve your goals:
<StackPanel>
<DockPanel Width="200">
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Left" Text="A short description." TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis"/>
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Right" TextAlignment="Right">
<Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://www.google.com">here</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
<DockPanel Width="200">
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Left" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" MaxWidth="170" Text="A really long descripion of the item." />
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Right" TextAlignment="Right">
<Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://www.google.com">here</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
</StackPanel>
So the DockPanel control might be a good candidate to consider.
Slightly more convenient is to use a :
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="Short description"/>
<Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://www.google.com">here</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
How di I make a newline in the text for a checkbox? I've tried \n but it didn't work?
EDIT: this is my CheckBox
<CheckBox xml:space="preserve" Height="16" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="360,46,0,0" Name="ShowOldRegistrations" VerticalAlignment="Top" Checked="ShowOldRegistrations_Checked" Unchecked="ShowOldRegistrations_UnChecked">
<StackPanel Height="42" Width="108">
<TextBlock>Line1</TextBlock>
<TextBlock>Line2</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox Content="Stuff on line1
Stuff on line 2" />
You should not use a StackPanel for line-breaks, TextBlocks can do that easily:
<CheckBox>
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="Line 1"/>
<LineBreak/>
<Run Text="Line 2"/>
</TextBlock>
</CheckBox>
In WPF, you can put any control almost anywhere. So you could try this:
<CheckBox>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>foo</TextBlock>
<TextBlock>bar</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</CheckBox>
Also, you need to remove the Height property from your checkbox. Of course only one line gets displayed if the height doesn't permit displaying more.
In WPF, in most cases you don't need to (nor should) specify absolute dimensions for your controls. They can adjust automatically quite well.
