Question

I want to be able to have some text clickable like in webpages in WPF. The control should have both non-functional text (for display) both also some of its parts as completely clickable.

Say like Wikipedia.

But this is an independent standalone offline app.

I tried various things but I couldn’t do it, especially the clicking doesn’t function like web pages, i.e. 1 click to open the url contained within the tools.

If you don’t have a requirement that it be a full-blown FlowDocument, then you can just use a plain old WPF TextBlock, and put Hyperlinks in it.

<TextBlock>
    Here's some text with a
    <Hyperlink NavigateUri="Page2.xaml">link to another XAML page</Hyperlink>
    and a
    <Hyperlink NavigateUri="http://msdn.microsoft.com/">link to the
    Web</Hyperlink>.
</TextBlock>

If you need scrolling, just put a ScrollViewer around it.

If you need the paginated, multi-column viewer, then you’ll need to go with an all-out FlowDocument, but if all you want is text with hyperlinks, TextBlock + Hyperlink should be all you need.
