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.

you should try setting the flow document manually and creating hyperlinks within the flow document...

Here is some text taken from the following link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/99ae9d9c-1dd4-4acd-8d5d-6eb739adeb98

" Hi,

It is possible. Here is a small example of creating hyperlink to paragraph/section/table.

In order to navigate to website, we can create a Frame Control for navigation. The hierarchical relationship of elements in this example is like this :

Frame-->FlowDocument-->Table-->Section-->Paragraph-->Hyperlink

In the code behind:

public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // add a Frame for navigation
            Frame frame = new Frame();
            this.Content = frame;
            //add FlowDocument
            FlowDocument doc = new FlowDocument();
            frame.Navigate(doc);

            //add Table
            Table table = new Table();
            doc.Blocks.Add(table );
            TableRowGroup group = new TableRowGroup();
            table.RowGroups.Add(group );

            TableColumn col1 = new TableColumn();
            TableColumn col2 = new TableColumn();
            table.Columns.Add(col1 );
            table.Columns.Add(col2);

            TableRow row1 = new TableRow();
            TableCell cel1 = new TableCell();
            row1.Cells.Add(cel1);

            group.Rows.Add(row1);

            //add Section
            Section mySection = new Section();
            //add section to the Table cell.
            cel1.Blocks.Add(mySection);

            Paragraph paraValue = new Paragraph();
            Hyperlink hl = new Hyperlink(new Run("Click Here to Google"));
            hl.Foreground = Brushes.Red;
            paraValue.Inlines.Add(hl);

            hl.FontSize = 11;
            hl .NavigateUri =new Uri ("Http://www.google.cn");

            mySection.Blocks.Add(paraValue);
        }

If you have any additional question about this,please feel free to ask.

Thanks. "

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.
