TextBlock.TextWrapping - how to make the text wrap so that the lines are center-aligned? (1 answer)

Closed 3 years ago.

I'm having an issue with multiline text blocks where it is not center aligning properly

The text is coming like

abcde\nabc

This comes out

  abcde
  abc

What I want is

  abcde
   abc

This seems a simple thing and I would have thought that the textblock would center align like that automatically but it does not seem to.

Answer 1

TextBlock.TextAlignment should do what you're asking for.

Answer 2

Try the TextAlignment property instead of HorizontalAlignment. First one is the alignment of text in the TextBlock, second the alignment of the TextBlock in the parent container.
