Some research and H.B. guided me to the right answer, which is setting the following properties: <TextBlock LineStackingStrategy=”BlockLineHeight” LineHeight=”20″/> <!– Or some other value you fancy. –>
You can use the StringFormat property of the binding: <TextBlock Text=”{Binding Title, StringFormat=This is {0}}”></TextBlock> Check out this blog post for more information: WPF String.Format in XAML with the StringFormat attribute.
The WPF Viewbox control will grow / shrink its contents to the available space: http://www.wpftutorial.net/ViewBox.html Just place your TextBlock within a ViewBox: <Viewbox Stretch=”Uniform” Width=”50″ Height=”50″> <TextBlock Text=”Test” /> </Viewbox> Of course, your Viewbox is typically scaled by its container, but hopefully you get the idea!
Update (for UWP) In UWP Apps you don’t need this and can use the TextBlock property MaxLines (see MSDN) Original Answer: If you have a specific LineHeight you can calculate the maximum height for the TextBlock. Example: TextBlock with maximum 3 lines <TextBlock Width=”300″ TextWrapping=”Wrap” TextTrimming=”WordEllipsis” FontSize=”24″ LineStackingStrategy=”BlockLineHeight” LineHeight=”28″ MaxHeight=”84″>YOUR TEXT</TextBlock> This is all that … Read more
It’s easier than that! Late answer, but much simpler. // assume textBlock is your TextBlock var dp = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty( TextBlock.TextProperty, typeof(TextBlock)); dp.AddValueChanged(textBlock, (sender, args) => { MessageBox.Show(“text changed”); });
You could add a Dependency Property to a TextBlock Subclass public class BindableTextBlock : TextBlock { public ObservableCollection<Inline> InlineList { get { return (ObservableCollection<Inline>)GetValue(InlineListProperty); } set { SetValue(InlineListProperty, value); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty InlineListProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(“InlineList”,typeof(ObservableCollection<Inline>), typeof(BindableTextBlock), new UIPropertyMetadata(null, OnPropertyChanged)); private static void OnPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) { BindableTextBlock textBlock = sender as … Read more
if you write all your Runs in the same line, the empty space will go away. Basically a new line here is one empty space on the UI. <TextBlock Foreground=”DarkGray” VerticalAlignment=”Bottom” Margin=”0,0,0,8″><Run Text=”total length “/><Run Text=”{Binding TotalHours}” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”h “/><Run Text=”:” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”{Binding TotalMinutes}” FontSize=”48″/><Run Text=”m “/></TextBlock>
I think this will work for you <TextBlock Text=”{StaticResource String1}” Typography.Capitals=”AllPetiteCaps”/> For font capitals enumerations https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.fontcapitals(v=vs.110).aspx
Displaying is rather simple, the navigation is another question. XAML goes like this: <TextBlock Name=”TextBlockWithHyperlink”> Some text <Hyperlink NavigateUri=”http://somesite.example” RequestNavigate=”Hyperlink_RequestNavigate”> some site </Hyperlink> some more text </TextBlock> And the event handler that launches default browser to navigate to your hyperlink would be: private void Hyperlink_RequestNavigate(object sender, RequestNavigateEventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(e.Uri.ToString()); } To do it with … Read more
