TextBlock.TextAlignment Property
Gets or sets a value that indicates the horizontal alignment of text content. This is a dependency property.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation, http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation
<object TextAlignment="TextAlignment" .../>
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.TextAlignmentOne of the TextAlignment values that specifies the desired alignment. The default is TextAlignment.Left.
This dependency property also has an attached property usage. In XAML, the usage is <object TextBlock.TextAlignment="value".../>, where object is an object element (typically a flow element) contained within a TextBlock, and value is a string value of the TextAlignment enumeration. In code, the attached property usage is supported by GetTextAlignment and SetTextAlignment. The attached property usage is not common.
The following example shows how to set the TextAlignment attribute of a TextBlock element.
<TextBlock Name="textBlock" Background="AntiqueWhite" Foreground="Navy" FontFamily="Century Gothic" FontSize="12" FontStretch="UltraExpanded" FontStyle="Italic" FontWeight="UltraBold" LineHeight="Auto" Padding="5,10,5,10" TextAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" Typography.NumeralStyle="OldStyle" Typography.SlashedZero="True" > <Run Background="LightGreen">Text run 1.</Run> <LineBreak/><Run Background="LightBlue">Text run 2.</Run> <LineBreak/><Run Background="LightYellow">Text run 3.</Run> </TextBlock>
The following example shows how to set the TextAlignment property programmatically.
TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock(new Run("A bit of text content...")); textBlock.Background = Brushes.AntiqueWhite; textBlock.Foreground = Brushes.Navy; textBlock.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Century Gothic"); textBlock.FontSize = 12; textBlock.FontStretch = FontStretches.UltraExpanded; textBlock.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic; textBlock.FontWeight = FontWeights.UltraBold; textBlock.LineHeight = Double.NaN; textBlock.Padding = new Thickness(5, 10, 5, 10); textBlock.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center; textBlock.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap; textBlock.Typography.NumeralStyle = FontNumeralStyle.OldStyle; textBlock.Typography.SlashedZero = true;
