Remarks

You can enable multi-line text in a TextBox control by using the AcceptsReturn property. Use the HorizontalScrollBarVisibility or VerticalScrollBarVisibility property to enable the horizontal scrollbars or the vertical scrollbars. For an example that demonstrates a multi-line text box control with scrollbars, see the AcceptsReturn property.

You may want to use a text box to display text, but you may not want the user to be able to edit the text. You can do this by using the IsReadOnly property. If you set the IsReadOnly property of a text box to true, edit commands are not supported and the KeyUp and KeyDown events are marked as handled. If you require formatted text that can not be edited by the user, use the TextBlock control. If you require an editable text box that accepts passwords or other sensitive input, see PasswordBox.

You can modify the border of the TextBox by using the BorderThickness and BorderBrush properties. The best way to hide the border around a TextBox is to set the BorderThickness property of the TextBox to 0.

You must arrange the visual child when you override the ArrangeOverride method. Otherwise, the arrange behavior may be undefined.

Content Model: The content property of the TextBox is Text. For more information about the content model for a text box, see Control Content Models.

Customizing the TextBox Control

To apply the same property settings to multiple TextBox controls, use the Style property. To change the visual structure and visual behavior of a TextBox, copy and modify its default style and template. For more information, see Control Customization.

Dependency properties for this control might be set by the default style of the control. If a dependency property for a TextBox is set by its default style, the property might change from its default value when the TextBox appears in the application. For more information, see Dependency Property Value Precedence. You can get the default style and template for TextBox from TextBox Styles and Templates.

NoteNote:

Setting a visual property will only have an effect if that property is both present in TextBox control's default template and is set by using a TemplateBinding. You can find a list of visual properties in the "Changing the Visual Structure of a Control" section in Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Using a ControlTemplate.

Version Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone Silverlight for Windows Phone

In Windows Phone OS 7.1, when you set the FontFamily property to a font that is downloaded or contained in a file, the TextBox renders at the position (0,0). When the font has finished downloading the application renders again with the TextBox in the correct location.

Examples

The following code example shows text box controls that demonstrate various properties and events of a TextBox object.

Run this sample

<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

    <TextBlock Margin="20,20,0,0" Text="Type Text Here"/>

    <TextBox x:Name="ReadWriteTB" TextChanged="ReadWriteTB_TextChanged"  IsReadOnly="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="20,5,0,0" Height="35" Width="200" />

    <TextBlock Margin="20,20,0,0" Text="Read Only TextBox"/>

    <TextBlock Margin="20,30,0,0" Text="Search Type TextBox" />

    <TextBlock Margin="20,0,0,0" FontSize="11">
        The following text box has a watermark text (Search). The text is gray until you click inside the text box. 
        <LineBreak />
        When you click inside the text box the watermark text is removed and the cursor appears ready for input.
    </TextBlock>

    <TextBox x:Name="SearchTB" Margin="20,5,0,0" Text="Search" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="35" Width="200" Foreground="Gray" GotFocus="SearchTB_GotFocus" LostFocus="SearchTB_LostFocus" />
