Fieldset in Winrt/XAML - xaml

Question

I need to create something in WinRT/XAML similar to an HTML fielset. http://jsfiddle.net/Sf2Vy/
Basically, I have a border and there is some text on top of the border. Where the text covers the border, I need the border to not show under the text. The background behind the border isn't a solid color so I can't just set the background color of the text. The text length is variable also.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Yeah, so, the answer is no. There is no FieldSet.
Having said that, I think you could work out a similar effect simple enough. The code below shows you a solution that could easily be wrapped in a custom user control called fieldset.
<Grid Width="500" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<!-- top fieldset thing -->
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="35" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,5,0,0" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="white" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,-2,0,0" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10,-15,10,0" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="30" />
</Style>
</Grid.Resources>
<Border Grid.Column="0" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="User Info" />
<Border Grid.Column="2" />
</Grid>
<!-- regular form fields -->
<Border BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="5,0,5,5">
<StackPanel Margin="20">
<TextBox Header="Salutation" />
<TextBox Header="First Name" />
<TextBox Header="Middle Name" />
<TextBox Header="Last Name" />
<Button Margin="0,5,-3,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right">Save Data</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
It looks something like this:
It's not 100% perfect - or, maybe... it is.
Best of luck!
