textblock

I'm new to WPF and I've found some similar questions but can't quite figure out the last part. I have a ViewModel with an ObservableCollection that contains error messages. I want to display these on the form AND allow the user to select and copy all or part of the messages. (In the past in WinForm apps I used a RichTextBox for this, but I can't figure out how to bind to one to the collection in WPF.) I got the look I was after with the following xaml, but there is no built-in way to select and copy like I could with a RichTextBox. Does anyone know which control I should use or if there is way

I need to display a string with each character displayed every x pixels. (x is accross the whole string). e.g.: "Hello" -> H at position (pixel) 0, e at position 50, l at 100, l at 150, o at 200. Of course I could use a TextBlock for each character but it seems overkill. TranslateTransform doesn't seem to do the trick: It offsets my characters relatively to the END of the previous character, which is not what I want. TIA for your help. Kent Boogaart I don't believe there's an in-built abilty to do this in WPF, but I could be wrong. The code below demonstrates how you could write your own

I have some text which has "\r\n" newline markers. I would like to have the newlines in a WPF textblock. I've tried replacing "\r\n" with "& # 13;" (without the spaces), which worked when I set the Text property in XAML, but doesn't seem to work when setting from the C# code-behind. So...what's the standard way to convert "\r\n" to newlines in a WPF textblock? Ash Try these for a more WPF centric solution. TextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run("First")); TextBlock.Inlines.Add(new LineBreak()); TextBlock.Inlines.Add(new Run("Second")); See also : XAML based Answer Kent Boogaart textBlock.Text = string

I have a WPF DataTemplate with two TextBlock controls (stacked) and then some other elements underneath. Due to some complicated layout code, I need to know the height of the two TextBlock elements so that I can draw some fancy connector lines, and line up other controls, etc. If I know the text that's going into the TextBlocks, and I know the font, etc., is there some way I can compute or measure the height of these TextBlocks without actually rendering them? I think it should be sufficient to call the UIElement.Measure(Size) method and subsequently check the UIElement.DesiredSize property.
