Stretching the Text in a TextBlock

Question

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have TextBlock which looks like this:

 

Code Snippet

 

<TextBlock Name="tbText" Text="1 2345 6789" Width="200"

HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="Green"/>

 

 

How is it possible to stretch my Text in the TextBlock to the size of the TextBlock? I have tried it with the Property HorizontalAlignment, but nothing happens.

 

Could anyone help me?

Answer 1

When you set TextBlock.HorizontalAlignment to Stretch (which is the default value) you're stretching the TextBlock, not its content.

 

To achieve the behavior you're looking for, you'll have to code a Control of your own. If I have time for it, I'll post a sample.

Answer 2

Oh, thanks a lot for your answer!

 

Yeah, a sample would be nice.
