TextBlock wrapping of text in Silverlight XAML file

TextBlock wrapping of text in Silverlight XAML file.

I have a wierd and annoying problem. I have a textblock that is inside a stackpanel that is Oriented horizontal. It would be nice if I could have the textblock appear in multiple lines nicely wrapped. How could I do that?

By default StackPanels do not limit the size of their contents in the direction of Orientation. That is the direction they keep on growing.

You mention you have it Orientation = Horizontal, so that will not constrain the width of a TextBox within it.

If you want text wrapping: you either need to use a grid for the container (which will constrain it's children) or set a fixed width on the TextBox.

to wrap text, you set the property TextWrapping to Wrap:

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
