Question

I have a a href hyperlink in my application which on click opens a link in a built in wpf web browser control. However, how would I go about putting this inside a button control? I have tried the following:

<Button ID="button2="30" Width="100">
<a href>........</a href>
</Button>

I am doing a kinect application, i have button behaviours set up similar to an xbox selection animation.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Use the Hyperlink element.

Typical usage would be:

<Button x:Name="btnNavigate" Width="100">
    <Hyperlink x:Name="lnkGoogle" NavigateUri="http://www.google.com"
        RequestNavigate="Hyperlink_RequestNavigate" >
        Click Here.
    </Hyperlink>
</Button>

The RequestNavigate event handler is required if the Hyperlink element is not nested within a navigation host control (directly or indirectly). The event handler can be defined like this:

private void Hyperlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, RequestNavigateEventArgs e)
{
    Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo(e.Uri.AbsoluteUri));
    e.Handled = true;
}

HTH…
