TextBlock::FontStretch Property
Gets or sets the top-level font-stretching characteristics for the TextBlock.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
public: property FontStretch FontStretch { FontStretch get(); void set(FontStretch value); }
Property Value
Type: System.Windows::FontStretchA member of the FontStretch class specifying the desired font-stretching characteristics to use. The default is FontStretches::Normal.
Any FontStretch settings on child elements override this top-level setting.
This dependency property also has an attached property usage. In XAML, the usage is <object TextBlock::FontStretch="value".../>, where object is an object element (typically a flow element) contained within a TextBlock, and value is one of the string-format property names of the FontStretch class. In code, the attached property usage is supported by GetFontStretch and SetFontStretch. The attached property usage is not common, because most elements that can be contained in a TextBlock support an analogous nonattached FontStretch property, which the TextBlock uses for rendering.
