TextBlock.IsHyphenationEnabled Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether automatic hyphenation of words is enabled or disabled.

public:
 property bool IsHyphenationEnabled { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool IsHyphenationEnabled { get; set; }
member this.IsHyphenationEnabled : bool with get, set
Public Property IsHyphenationEnabled As Boolean

Property Value

true to indicate that automatic breaking and hyphenation of words is enabled; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Remarks

The automatic word hyphenation feature enables a TextBlock to automatically break and hyphenate words, based on current layout conditions. This enables long words to begin on one line and continue on this next, and tends to achieve a more even distribution of white space in justified text. Words are broken and hyphenated according to standard grammar rules.
