I want to make textbox text as Hyperlink. Suppose if i type www.google.com as tetxbox text,when i click on the text ,it show open the link in a browser..

I could not get any idea to implement this...can u suggest me any idea...i tried the two ways.

way1:

HTML

<TextBox Grid.Row="4" Name="txtWebPage" VerticalAlignment="Top" TextDecorations="UnderLine" TextChanged="txtWebPage_TextChanged" Foreground="Blue">
                                </TextBox>

way2:

<pre lang="HTML">
<RichTextBox Grid.Row="4" Name="rtxtWeb" BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="20" IsDocumentEnabled="True" Foreground="Blue" LostFocus="rtxtWeb_LostFocus">
                                    <FlowDocument>
                                        <Paragraph>
                                            <Hyperlink NavigateUri=""/>
                                        </Paragraph>
                                    </FlowDocument>
                                </RichTextBox>

Why are you not just using a HyperLink? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.documents.hyperlink.aspx

I want textbox text as a hyperlink,when click on the textbox text ,it should open in the browser.

Why?! Use HyperLink or at least TextBox...
Anyway, what's the problem? You can always handle events and get the TextBox content...

OnMouseDoubleClick event is there for Textbox...not Click event...On MousedoubleClick is working fine...how can i achieve for single click?

That's why I did not recommend TextBox. How one could edit using the mouse if each click is handled in... who knows how?!
Anyway, the problem is resolved via events MouseDown, PreviewMouseDown, MouseUp or PreviewMouseUp, isn't it obvious? But why? You never answered why, so why would you expect an advice?..

Hi
You can use IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged event for TextBox, It will hit whenever you click on TextBox.
