I am Trying to add a graphic to the bottom of a TextBox in XAML

Question

As the title say's, I tried to create this using a template.
The problem is when the text box went multiline the graphic did not relocate with it.

I wish to reuse this in many places.

Question 0: Will i have to add a Dependency Property?

Question 1: Should this be a UserControl, a resource or a template?

Thank You.

Looks like a bad idea to me. Why not adding something below the text box..?

Use a stack panel as a workaround.
E.g.

XML

<StackPanelOrientation="Horizontal">
 <Image Source="image.jpg" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
 <TextBlock Text="Text"/>
</StackPanel>

I ended up creating a user control similar to the one on stack overflow.

Thank You for the input.

Sorry, I down-voted you answer by some minor reasons, but serious ones:

1) I already told you such solution. This is a work-around. Exactly as I advised, it does not add anything in the text box to its bottom, it adds elements around, which is way too trivial; you did not even need to ask any questions.

2) You question was about TextBox, and your answer is about TextBlock. In the sense of the problem you tried to formulate in first place, the difference is huge. In essence, you did not answer to your own question at all, not in any sense.

Keeping the above in mind, the fact you even self-accepted your own "answer" is just outrageous. How could you do it?

I understand and except your downvote. My verbal skills are indeed lacking.

As to accepting my own answer Please forgive me, but I thought it would help others.
