wrapped text will keep center not left
Is there any way to setup text wrapping so that all of the text in the text block is center-aligned?
<ContentPresenter x:Name="CPMessage"
Content="{Binding BodyContent, ElementName=control, Mode=OneWay}"
Margin="32,0,32,36"
TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
FontSize="16" />
Fixed it pretty easily by myself with the below code
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BodyContent, ElementName=control, Mode=OneWay}"
TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"
TextAlignment="Center" />
Add the code inside of COntentPresenter

I'm struggling to vertically center text using TextBlock. I know that it adds extra space above the space in case you use accents but why it isn't consistent with the space below then? There's a few extra pixels.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,40,0,0" Background="#FF191919" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<Grid Width="41" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Padding="0" BorderThickness="0,0,1,0" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlockLocalScore" Text="0" FontFamily="Courier New" Foreground="#FF007AFF" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
<Grid Padding="4,8" BorderThickness="8,0" Width="104">
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlockMinutesLeft" Text="00" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="36" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Segoe UI Light" FontWeight="Light" TextAlignment="Center" Height="27" TextLineBounds="Tight" Margin="0,0,4,0" />

</Grid>

</Grid>
</StackPanel>
I've played with Line Height and Text Line Bounds but I can't why a way to make the text still vertical centered once I change the font.
Updated code to reproduce issue:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,100,0,0" Background="#FF191919" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<Grid Width="51" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Padding="0" BorderThickness="0,0,1,0" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<TextBlock Text="0" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="36" Foreground="#FF007AFF" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
<StackPanel Padding="4" BorderThickness="8,0" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="01" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="36" TextAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,4,0" />
<TextBlock Text="11" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="36" TextAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
<Grid Width="51" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Padding="0,8" BorderThickness="1,0,0,0" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<TextBlock Text="0" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="36" Foreground="#FF007AFF" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
You should have a play with these two properties. In your case you are probably more interested in TextLineBounds.
<TextBlock Text="80" FontSize="40" TextLineBounds="Tight" OpticalMarginAlignment="TrimSideBearings" />
Update
I am not sure if your screenshot is 100% accurate. I have used your code to produce the following pictures. Note I have scaled them up by 10 times.
<Grid Width="41" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Padding="0" BorderThickness="0,0,1,0" BorderBrush="#FFBF0077">
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlockLocalScore" TextLineBounds="Full" Text="80" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="36" Foreground="#FF007AFF" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<Rectangle UseLayoutRounding="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Fill="White" Height="10" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="1" Margin="-21,0,0,0" />
<Rectangle UseLayoutRounding="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Fill="White" Height="10" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="1" Margin="-21,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
With TextLineBounds set to Tight
With TextLineBounds set to Full
Yes, on the first one, there's still a tiny little gap (about 0.3 epx) between the bottom edge of number 8 and the Line, but this is mostly due to layout rounding and effective pixel snapping. I don't think it's noticeable to human eyes. :)
P.S. You cannot purely rely on checking the visuals from Blend Designer as sometimes the artboard doesn't get updated on time to give you the correct result. You should always run your app and check from there.
I have tested your code and reproduced this behavior. If your have not set the height and width of TextBlock, it will set them based on your text font size automatically .
For example, If the FontFamily is Courier New and the font size is 25, and the actual width and height of TextBlock is 16.00244140625 , 29.3203125. It will generate deviation when you center the text vertically. However, you could manual correct it via modifying the Padding just like the follow
Im trying to have a textblock inside a scrollviewer, and if the text exceds the scrollviewer width, have it trimmed.
The text should display the "..." indicating thre is more text, so that the user can scroll to see the rest of the text.
right now i have something like this, but the text trimming inst working.
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" HorizontalScrollMode="Enabled" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" VerticalScrollMode="Disabled" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden">
<TextBlock Margin="0,5,0,0" Text="{Binding Item.Name}" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semibold" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="SemiBold" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis"/>
</ScrollViewer>
The vertical Scrollbar is visible in W 8.1 but not in WP 8.1 on my emulator.
What have i missed?
I have also tried to set VerticalScrollBarVisibility to Visible
<Popup x:Name="LayerPopupWindow" IsLightDismissEnabled="True" >
<ListBox x:Name="MyList" Margin="3" Width="auto" Background="#DDFFFFFF"
Height="{Binding Path=ActualHeight,ElementName=MyMapView}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollMode="Enabled">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="auto" >
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}" BorderBrush="Black" MinWidth="30"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ID, Mode=OneWay}" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<StackPanel MaxWidth="400">
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding CopyrightText}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</StackPanel>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Popup>
Looked at your links Depechie and tried it in my example, for some reason the scrollbars still wasnt visible.
Then i found this link
Making ScrollViewer's ScrollBar always visible through overriding or styling
Tried it and the scrollbars know were visible, so problem solved.
I'm trying to create a ListViewItemTemplate and my template needs to have two textblocks side by side. The one on the left is a message textblock and should stay left and the one on the right is a date textblock. That textblock needs to stretch to the end of the ItemTemplate and needs to fit all the text. I'm trying to achieve this:
But this is what I get:
The XAML code for this is:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<Grid Height="84">
<StackPanel Holding="ListViewItem_Holding">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" FontFamily="Segoe WP" FontSize="21" />
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,-3,0" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Post}" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight" FontSize="18" Margin="0,0,-1,0" Height="26" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Modified}" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight" FontSize="18" Margin="0,0,-3,0" SelectionChanged="TextBlock_SelectionChanged" />
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ID}" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight" FontSize="18" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
How can I fix this? I need it so that it stretches properly and at the same time fits all the text regardless of the orientation.
I would personally use a Grid as it is far more flexible than StackPanel and deals with different screen sizes much better. something like below
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Cant send: message" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight"
FontSize="18" Margin="0,0,-1,0"
TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Text="1:14a" Grid.Column="1" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight"
TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="18"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
SelectionChanged="TextBlock_SelectionChanged"
Margin="0,-15,0,0"/>
</Grid>
Note 2 columns are defined with equal widths. You can adjust this to your needs.
Also both TextBlocks have
TextWrapping="Wrap"
which means your text will go to available space (column width) then wrap to the next line if space is available.
The second TextBlock is aligned to the right so adjust margins as appropriate.
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
You can make this with Grid.RowDefinitions and Grid.ColumnDefinitions.
Base on your picture you have data on two columns and one line.
So you can size your screen on two columns and one line. You don't need to use stackpanel to achieve this.
<Grid Height="84">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="User" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontFamily="Segoe WP" FontSize="21" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="1:41a" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight" FontSize="18" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</Grid>
<ContentControl Width="120">
<ContentControl.Content>
<ContentControl>
<ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="ABC" TextAlignment="Right" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
</ContentControl>
</ContentControl.Content>
Please find the above code.
It's not getting right aligned.
It is working, but ContentControl by default aligns it's content to the left with just enough place to show.
You can just set HorizontalContentAlignment to Right in ContentControl, so child don't have to worry about it:
<ContentControl Width="120" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right">
<TextBlock Text="ABC" />
</ContentControl>
Or you can set HorizontalContentAlignment to Stretch and leave the rest for child to figure out:
<ContentControl Width="120" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<TextBlock Text="ABC" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</ContentControl>
