    You can get TextBox content in a string and check the format and if its a URL, open it in a Web browser. Here is an article on Web browser control in WPF. https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/rahul4_saxena/webbrowser-control-in-wpf/

    If you have a text box Name "textBox1", you can get text dynamically using this: string txt = textBox1.Text;

  @Jeganathan Balachandar - As I mentioned in my previous comments, these properties are not supported by WPF textBox (but Silverlight TextBox support these). Refer - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10850629/how-to-change-the-highlighted-texts-foreground-color-for-a-wpf-textbox

  Hi I need to change the selected text foreground, but i couldn;t find the SelectionForeGround and SelectionBakground properties in TextBox control. TextBox2.SelectionBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue); TextBox2.SelectionForeground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);

    Look at SelectionBrush, SelectionStart and SelectionEnd properties.

    <TextBox SelectionBrush="Red" SelectionOpacity="0.5" Foreground="Blue" CaretBrush="Blue"> This is some text. </TextBox>

  BTW the Edit comment functionality is not working, shows this error - "We have recently made changes to the site and resource you are looking for may have moved. Please try our search by typing your keyword in search at top and click Go. Again, sorry for inconvenience."

  Wao, I was not expecting such reply from founder of C# corner! Can you provide some link to support your claim? I hope MS would not change the documentation of previous versions.

    I might have brought these properties back from Silverlight when writing Silverlight book. Here I see TextBox has the property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textbox.selectionbackground(v=vs.95).aspx

    TextBox.SelectionBackground PropertyGets or sets the brush that fills the background of the selected text. FROM MSDN:<TextBlock Margin="20,40,0,0" Text="Demonstrating styles for TextBox" /><TextBlock Margin="20,0,0,0" FontSize="11"> Select the following text to view the results of SelectionForeground and SelectionBackground properties. </TextBlock> <TextBox Text="Styles" Margin="20,5,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="200" Height="35" FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="15" Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="White" SelectionForeground="Black"> <TextBox.SelectionBackground> <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1"> <GradientStop Color="Gray" Offset="0.0" /> <GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1.0" /> </LinearGradientBrush> </TextBox.SelectionBackground> </TextBox>

  This article was written couple of years ago and Microsoft keep changing its API in every new version :).

  Are you sure your article contains correct information? There is not property called SelectionForeground & SelectionBackground in WPF TextBox! Moreover your attached sample is incomplete, covering only one point of the article. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textbox(v=vs.100).aspx SelectionForeground & SelectionBackground are the properties of silverlight textbox - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textbox.selectionforeground(v=vs.95).aspx
