[UWP][Xaml]UWP: Size and Text Wrap issue of Content Dialog

Question

Hi,

VS2017 | UWP 

I wanted to display icons in MessageDialog(), but it seems the option is not available.  So i looked at ContentDialog.  But The problem with ContentDialog is that its size is too small and does not auto-resize based on contents.  Also it does not Wrap Contents.   Its proving very difficult to do simple thing.  I am sure others too must be facing similar issue, What solution do you suggest ?

below is my XAML code and output image.

 Title="TITLE"
    PrimaryButtonText="OK" FullSizeDesired="False"
    PrimaryButtonClick="ContentDialog_PrimaryButtonClick"
>
    <Grid  Height="Auto" >
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"  Height="Auto" >
            <TextBlock x:Name="Image"  FontFamily="Wingdings" FontSize="40" Foreground="Green" Text="&#x4A;" Margin="5"/>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"  Height="Auto" >
                <TextBlock x:Name="MessageText1" Text="." TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"  Margin="5,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="Auto" />
                <TextBlock x:Name="MessageText2" Text="." TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"  Margin="5,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="Auto"  />
            </StackPanel>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>

Please Note:  TextWrapping="Wrap" is also tried, but output remains the same. it does not wrap contents. The file path is not fully displayed.

Answer 1

Hi,

Yep, in my test, the TextBlock does not warp the text in the ContentDialog using your code snippet. After checking the Live Visual Tree, I found the key is that you need to define the width of the TextBlock. If not, the TextBlock will get a width suitable for the length of the text automatically. 

So I suggest that you might need to set the width of the TextBlock like 200 and run the app you could see the text is wrapped.

For the size of the Icon, it is not a image control and it is determined by the font size. You need to define the font size to change the size of the icon.
