How to a add a command to a WPF TextBlock?

Question

I'd like to be able to click a textblock and have it run a Command. Is this possible? (if not do I just somehow make a tranparent button over it or something?)

Answer 1

You can use a InputBinding.

<TextBlock Text="Hello">     <TextBlock.InputBindings>         <MouseBinding Command="" MouseAction="LeftClick" />     </TextBlock.InputBindings> </TextBlock> 

Edit: Hyperlink is probably worth a mention too.

<TextBlock><Hyperlink Command="" TextDecorations="None" Foreground="Black">Hello</Hyperlink></TextBlock> 

Answer 2

You do not make a transparent button over it, you put the TextBlock into it:

<Button>     <Button.Template>         <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">             <ContentPresenter />         </ControlTemplate>     </Button.Template>     <TextBlock Text="Lorem Ipsum"/> </Button>
