Property Value

Type: System.Windows.LineStackingStrategy

The mechanism by which a line box is determined for each line of text within the text element. The default value is MaxHeight.

The following example shows how to use the LineStackingStrategy property to determine how the line boxes are created for text lines of a TextBlock. The first TextBlock has a LineStackingStrategy value of MaxHeight and the second TextBlock has a value of BlockLineHeight.

    <!-- This TextBlock has a LineStackingStrategy set to "MaxHeight". -->
    <TextBlock LineStackingStrategy="MaxHeight" LineHeight="10" Width="500" TextWrapping="Wrap"

      Use the <Span FontSize="30">LineStackingStrategy</Span> property to determine how a line box is
      created for each line. A value of <Span FontSize="20">MaxHeight</Span> specifies that the stack
      height is the smallest value that contains all the inline elements on that line when those
      elements are properly aligned. A value of <Span FontSize="20">BlockLineHeight</Span> specifies
      that the stack height is determined by the block element LineHeight property value.
    </TextBlock>

    <!-- Here is the same TextBlock but the LineStackingStrategy is set to "BlockLineHeight". -->
    <TextBlock LineStackingStrategy="BlockLineHeight" LineHeight="10" Width="500" TextWrapping="Wrap" 
     Background="Blue" Margin="0,40,0,0">
