How would I take a Paragraph object and databind them to the TextBlock for use in a DataTemplate? A plain bind does nothing, just a ToString() of the Paragraph object. The InLines property would let me add a list of TextRun's that make up the Paragraph manually, but that can't be bound to and I could really do with a binding based solut...
I have a databound TextBlock control (which is being used inside a DataTemplate to display items in a ListBox) and I want to make all the text in the control bold. I can't seem to find a property in the properties explorer to set the whole text to bold, and all I can find online is the use of the <Bold> tag inside the TextBlock, but I ca...

Is there a way to have \n make a linebreak in a TextBLock? <TextBlock Text="line1\nLine2" /> Or is there a better way to force a middle line break, inside the Text="" attribute? <linebreak /> ?????

Lets say I have some XAML like this: <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="Blah Blah Blah" /> </StackPanel> In this case, the Width is NaN, as I expect, because it grows with the size of the StackPanel and is not explicitly set. Unfortunately, ActualWidth does not give me the results I expect. ActualWidth is not bound by the size of the...

TextWrapping="Wrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" /> I would like to display a tooltip over the text ...

I'm currently working out the layout of a WPF Application and seem to have it a bit of a snag in the layout of one of my controls. This control is a dynamically sizing, so it should fit the size of the viewport it's a part of. The problem I'm running into is a very visual problem, so I'll do my best to describe it. Here's what it looks l...

I'm having the darndest time figuring this out: say I've got two Button and three TextBlocks. I want either button to trigger a simple Storyboard on ALL TextBlocks.
