Links in strip menu

Question

You can link to a site in the Strip Menu of Windows Forms?

I have the following code snippet in the click of my menu, but does not open the link.

private void menuSobre_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    WebBrowser webBrowser1 = new WebBrowser();
    webBrowser1.Document.Window.Open("http://www.meusite.com.br","_blank", "location", true);
}

What should I do?

Answer 1

As far as I know, natively you can’t make it a link in fact, but you can do by code for your application to open the browser with that URL.

Ex:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.website.com");

Natively this does not exist, but it is relatively simple to work on a solution using the class Process and the click event MenuItem.

As long as the links start with http:// the Process.Start() will open the default browser directly at this address.

It is important to remember to include the namespace System.Diagnostics.

Behold:

private void ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var menuItem = (ToolStripItem)sender;
    var link = menuItem.Text;

    Process.Start(link);
}
