Automatic vertical scroll bar in WPF TextBlock?

Question

I have a TextBlock in WPF. I write many lines to it, far exceeding its vertical height. I expected a vertical scroll bar to appear automatically when that happe

Answer 1

<ScrollViewer Height="239" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
    <TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" TextWrapping="Wrap" LineHeight="10" />
</ScrollViewer>

This is way to use the scrolling TextBox in XAML and use it as a text area.

Answer 2

I tried to to get these suggestions to work for a textblock, but couldn't get it to work. I even tried to get it to work from the designer. (Look in Layout and expand the list by clicking the down-arrow "V" at the bottom) I tried setting the scrollviewer to Visible and then Auto, but it still wouldn't work.

I eventually gave up and changed the TextBlock to a TextBox with the Readonly attribute set, and it worked like a charm.

<TextBox Name="myTextBox" 
         ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
         ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
         ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True">SOME TEXT
</TextBox>
