# 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.

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

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

``` csharp
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 { };
    }
}
```
