HyperlinkEditor

The HyperlinkEditor control displays a hyperlink that a user can click. The editor does not execute the link when it's touched. Instead, it raises an associated command that you can handle to process link clicks.

The editor's text is not editable by users.

Specify a Display Hyperlink

Use the control's EditorValue property to specify the editor's display text. The editor underlines the text to imitate a hyperlink.

If no command is assigned to the editor (see below), a click on the displayed link has no effect.

Process Hyperlink Clicks

Assign a command to the editor's Command property to handle clicks on the hyperlink. Use the CommandParameter to supply additional data to the command.

Example

The following example defines a HyperlinkEditor that displays a link to a web page. A click on the link raises the ShowWebPageCommand command. The link address to invoke is passed as the command's parameter.

xmlns:mxe="https://schemas.eremexcontrols.net/avalonia/editors"

<mxe:HyperlinkEditor EditorValue="https://www.w3.org" Command="{Binding ShowWebPageCommand}" 
                     CommandParameter="https://www.w3.org"/>

using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;

public partial class HyperlinkEditorPageViewModel : ObservableObject
{
    [RelayCommand]
    public void ShowWebPage(string parameter)
    {
        try
        {
            Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(parameter) 
            { 
                UseShellExecute = true 
            });
        }
        catch { };
    }
}
