Property Value
Type: TextWrapping Enumeration
One of the enumeration values that indicates how the object should wrap text.
This property is read/write. The default value is NoWrap.
Remarks
The TextWrapping property indicates how text should wrap in a text container. The TextWrapping enumeration defines two values: NoWrap and Wrap.
ActualHeight and ActualWidth are read-only properties that report the rendered height and width of the TextBlock; these properties can be different from the Height and Width properties of the TextBlock.
Example
The following XAML example shows how to set the TextWrapping property to NoWrap and Wrap.
<!-- TextBlock with no text wrapping -->
<TextBlock
Text="The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog."
Width="200"
TextWrapping="NoWrap" />
<!-- TextBlock with text wrapping -->
<TextBlock
Canvas.Top="40"
Text="The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog."
Width="200"
TextWrapping="Wrap" />
