Hi,

i have made a RUN TIME TextBox control in a WPF application and the text source is from a database(its an article)

the problem is that the text box isn't in "word wrap" format so it goes to next line when it reaches to an new paragraph, but i want to make it like Ms word, that when the text reaches at the end of the textbox-width it goes to the next line (without enter)

how do i do that?

Have you tried setting the Multiline property to true?

Sorry, there is no such property. This is ***not*** System.Windows.Forms.Text box, but System.Windows.Controls.TextBox.

Solution 2

Look at how it should be in your case:

XML

<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" TextWrapping="Wrap" />

Actually, AcceptReturn can be either true or false, depending on your requirements, Auto value for scroll bars is only a recommendation (horizontal bar will be never shown in case of wrapping), only TextWrapping is critical to satisfy your requirement.

Use can also assign AcceptsReturn, TextWrapping and other properties in C# code, of course.
