I have a simple wpf window that has a TextBlock element with the following xaml code:
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2" MaxWidth="370"
x:Name="ResultTxt" Text="{Binding Text, Mode=OneWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap"></TextBlock>
When a new text is received from a server, I append the text to the TextBlock content. Here is the part of code that does that
Text = Text + e.Text; //e is an EventArgs
RaisePropertyChanged("Text");
When the text exceeds the current window limit, it doesn't wrap to a newline. Instead it just continues to the horizontal, although I have set the TextWrap property of the TextBlock to Wrap.
According to the suggestions in the answers to this question, the TextBlock should be inside a Grid container. But the TextBlock is in a Grid container and still not wrapping.
How can I make the TextBlock to wrap its contents into newline when it exceeds its window size?
Edit: Here is xaml code for the whole Grid container:
<Grid TextBlock.FontSize="16" DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="760">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Capture Device" Margin="20,10,10,0"></TextBlock>
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=CaptureDevices, Mode=OneWay}" DisplayMemberPath="ProductName" SelectedIndex="0" Margin="19,10,10,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" MinHeight="22" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Name="DeviceCombo" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedDevice, Mode=TwoWay}" IsEnabled="{Binding CanSelect}"/>
<Slider Margin="19,10,10,0" Orientation="Horizontal" Value="{Binding MicrophoneLevel, Mode=TwoWay}" Maximum="100" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" IsEnabled="false" MaxWidth="150"/>
<Button x:Name="StartBtn" Content="Start" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Margin="30,10,5,25" Width="60" Command="{Binding StartRecodrding}" IsEnabled="{Binding CanStart}"/>
<Button x:Name="StopBtn" Grid.Row="1" Content="Stop" Grid.Column="2" Margin="0,10,15,25" Width="60" Command="{Binding StopRecording}" IsEnabled="{Binding CanStop}"/>
<ProgressBar x:Name="RecordLevel" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Margin="30,10,15,25" Minimum="0" Maximum="100" MinWidth="170" Value="{Binding CurrentLevel, Mode=OneWay}"></ProgressBar>
<TextBlock x:Name="Status" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Margin="15,15,10,10" Text="{Binding StatusText}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2" MaxWidth="370" x:Name="ResultTxt" Text="{Binding Text, Mode=OneWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap"></TextBlock>
</Grid>

The Width
of the second column should not be set to Auto
. Try to set it to *
:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
You should also avoid setting the Grid
's Width
to a fixed value. Try MaxWidth
instead:
<Grid TextBlock.FontSize="16" DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" MaxWidth="760">
