textblock

Given a formatted text block in Windows Phone 7.1 project: <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <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> </StackPanel> It is being previewed correctly in VS designer: It is already looking not the way I want in Blend: It looks just as in Blend (good job Blend team) in emulator and a real device. What adds those spaces

I have a TextBlock within a ScrollViewer that aligns with stretch to its window. I need the TextBlock to behave as the following: Resizes with window, no scrollbars When resized below a certain width the TextBlock needs to keep a MinWidth and scrollbars should appear TextWrapping or TextTrimming should work appropriately How can I get this functionality? I have tried several ways, involving bindings to ActualWidth & ActualHeight , but can't get it to work. This can't be that difficult, what am I missing? Here is a code sample to put in XamlPad (no MinWidth is set yet): <Window xmlns="http:/

What criteria must I consider when selecting one of these two controls? Rohit Common to both TextBlocks and TextBoxes: Can be used to display text Can be set to specific Height and Width or be set to Auto so that they grow in size with the text. Can set font size, font type, font styling, to wrap and to range left, right or centred. Can have opacity set and have Pixel Shaders applied. TextBlock: Used for displaying text more focused typographically. Can contain text set to different colors, fonts and sizes. The line height can also be increased from the default setting to give more space

I'd like to be able to click a textblock and have it run a Command. Is this possible? (if not do I just somehow make a tranparent button over it or something?) You can use a InputBinding . <TextBlock Text="Hello"> <TextBlock.InputBindings> <MouseBinding Command="" MouseAction="LeftClick" /> </TextBlock.InputBindings> </TextBlock> Edit: Hyperlink is probably worth a mention too. <TextBlock><Hyperlink Command="" TextDecorations="None" Foreground="Black">Hello</Hyperlink></TextBlock> You do not make a transparent button over it, you put the TextBlock into it: <Button> <Button.Template>

I want to dynamically change TextBlock text in my Class. XAML-Code : <TextBlock Name="Footer_text" Text=""/> C# : string footerMainMenuText = "Setting"; Binding set = new Binding(""); set.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay; set.Source = footerMainMenuText; Footer_text.DataContext = footerMainMenuText; Footer_text.SetBinding(TextBlock.TextProperty, set); I checked last line, and the Footer_text.Text is set correctly. ( Footer_text.Text="Setting" ), but TextBlock in my application doesnt show "Setting". What is the problem here? If you are binding - why not just do it in XAML instead? Looking at your

Please check the attached image. I made the textblock origin to it's center by RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5". Now I would like to move the textblock based on the reference point. May be (0,0 ) or (10,10) or ...... These are absolute points. For example, in case of (0,0) the textblock should move to absolute (0,0) based on its reference point. I know how to move relatively by TranslateTransform, but this case I need absolute transform. Maybe you need this void MoveToPoint(UIElement sender, Point point) { Canvas.SetLeft(sender, point.X - sender.RenderTransformOrigin.X * sender.ActualWidth);
