TextBlock.TextWrapping Property

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property TextWrapping As TextWrapping

public TextWrapping TextWrapping { get; set; }

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap"/>

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: TextWrappingProperty

The TextWrapping property indicates how text wraps in a TextBlock. The TextWrapping enumeration defines two values: NoWrap and Wrap.

Note:
In Silverlight, this property does not support a WrapWithOverflow value.

ActualHeight and ActualWidth are read-only properties that report the rendered height and width of the TextBlock. These properties can be different than the Height and Width properties of the TextBlock. Setting the TextWrapping property affects the ActualHeight and ActualWidth values of the TextBlock.

The following illustration shows how the TextWrapping property affects ActualHeight and ActualWidth.

Examples

The following XAML example shows how to set the TextWrapping property to NoWrap and to Wrap.

<!-- TextBlock with no text wrapping -->
<TextBlock
  Text="The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog."
  Width="200"
  TextWrapping="NoWrap" />

<!-- TextBlock with text wrapping -->
<TextBlock
  Text="The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog."
  Width="200"
  TextWrapping="Wrap" />

The following illustration shows the rendered text from the previous XAML example.
