Overflow `Label`

Is there any way to make a Label overflow? I am overlaying a Label over a Combobox to simulate default text, but the Label prevents the Combobox from getting focus when clicked. I would like to therefore set the Label width as 1 and overflow it.

By the way, I have seen the "watermark" workaround to the Combobox default text issue, but it is not viable in my use case so there is no need to suggest it. Thanks.

to do what you want to do, you should just do:

MyLabel.IsHitTestVisible = false;

this way you do not have to worry about overlapping.

Use <Label IsHitTestVisible="false" Focusable="false" /> then the label won't intercept mouse clicks or receive the focus.
