How to: Change the TextWrapping Property Programmatically
Example
The following code example shows how to change the value of the TextWrapping property programmatically.
Three Button elements are placed within a StackPanel element in XAML. Each Click event for a Button corresponds with an event handler in the code. The event handlers use the same name as the TextWrapping value they will apply to txt2 when the button is clicked. Also, the text in txt1 (a TextBlock not shown in the XAML) is updated to reflect the change in the property.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,20">
<Button Name="btn1" Background="Silver" Width="100" Click="Wrap">Wrap</Button>
<Button Name="btn2" Background="Silver" Width="100" Click="NoWrap">NoWrap</Button>
<Button Name="btn4" Background="Silver" Width="100" Click="WrapWithOverflow">WrapWithOverflow</Button>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Name="txt2" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,0,0,20" Foreground="Black">
