How to open the website instead of displaying hyperlink

Permanently deleted user

 

Currently my workflow ends with the DisplayHyperlink control and at runtime displays a hyperlink in a small window to the user.  How can I skip the window with the hyperlink and just open the webpage?

Many thanks.

    You can use the RunExternalCommand activity and specify "NavigateToUri" as the Command and your URL as the CommandParameter.

    Big thanks Ryan! I was trying to do the same thing as Josh - but using the OpenWebPage command from the RunExternalCommand Activity - without success!  Not overly sure why this would fail as it would seem to make sense in opening a web page with the supplied URL - but obviously a subtle difference! 

    cheers

    The difference is quite subtle.

    • The OpenWebPage command uses (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.browser.htmlpage.popupwindow.aspx) System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.PopupWindow  under the hood. Silverlight enforces that this method must be invoked directly by a user. For example: via a button click. If you try to invoke this from something asynchronous, such as after a HTTP request (this is the way workflows operate), then it will be denied. See the "Constraints" section of the documentation.
    • The NavigateToUri command uses (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189809.aspx) System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Navigate which does not impose the above restriction. However, this method is more susceptible to popup blockers.

    Thanks Ryan, that would explain why it would work from the I want to... menu and not from the workflow ; )

    i could not find "NavigateToUri".  I realized that this post is bit old.  I used "OpenWebPage" in my workflow for html viewer and it worked.  The pop up blocker has to be off for the browser.

     

    Thanks.

    For some reason when I use the "OpenWebPage" function, it slightly modifies my passed URL. However, when I use display hyperlink instead, the URL stays untouched. I'm not sure why this is but this change is affecting the URL enough to make it not work as planned.

     

    EX. "%40" is getting converted to "@"

    Also, I cannot get "NavigateToUri" to work properly. It basically does nothing and that must be because of our browser settings?

    Hi Eric,

     

    The NavigateToUri command was only available in the Viewer for Silverlight.  In the Viewer for HTML5, the OpenWebPage command is intended to do the same thing.

     

    I have filed a bug regarding the unexpected decoding of the %40 to the @ sign.  It is in our system as GVH-11988.

     

    In the meantime, you may be able to work around the issue by using an intermediate page that accepts the arguments from Workflow and then performs a second redirect to the page that expects the encoded @ sign, or you may use the Display Hyperlink activity to present a link to the user.

     

    Regards,

    Update: as of 2.7, the OpenWebPage command can take an additional boolean parameter 'isLink' to indicate that the string parameter is a URL and therefore should not be encoded. This addresses the bug Malcolm references, above (GVH-11988).

     

    This currently is not documented in the SDK documentation - I've asked that it be added for 2.8.

    Can you elaborate or show an example of how you implement that additional boolean parameter in the OpenWebPage command?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Tami,

    I've created an improvement to our documentation to include this information. This can done using this syntax in the Command Parameter field: Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject.Parse("{url: 'http://google.com', isLink: true}").

    Thanks, Stefan

    Is there a way to force the OpenWebPage command to open the web page in the same tab?  It is opening it up in a separate tab/window by default.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Stephanie

    Similar to Stephanie's comment, the browser asks to open potentially unsafe content and therefor a "no" answer means they can just use the viewer.

    Can you send a link to the documentation for this?  I'm trying to make a simple workflow that just goes to a static web page - perferably opening in a different tab or window - but cannot quite get the syntax down.User-added image

    @Becca: that does not appear to be a valid HTTP URL.

     

    The syntax looks correct, though.
