I can't set the FontSize of the Text in a TextBlock, since the TextBox is in a Viewbox. Why?
[Code]...
I can set the FontSizes of all of the TextBlocks but not of the TextBlock which is in the Viewbox.
I know that in WPF, FontSize = 1/96 of an inch (same as 1 pixel I think). Is the FontSize dimension the height, the width, or diagonal size of a character? I would guess it's the font height, but the Microsoft documentation doesn't really indicate what it is.
Also, is there an easy way to get the height and width of a font size?So it looks like the FontSize is the height, and the width can only be determined (without knowing the actual character) on monospaced fonts since proportional fonts have varying widths.
I've been trying to look for answers on how to do this, for days, but just couldn't find one. Maybe I don't know the keywords to look for. I hope someone can help me with this. Here's my problem. I'm trying to create a wordpad and I have two ComboBoxes (FontName & FontSize) and a RichTextBox. I'm trying to figure out how to get the FontName and FontSize of a SelectedText in the RichTextBox and be selected automatically in each ComboBoxes?

I have a combobox which I want to use to change the font-size of text, but I'm getting an error.
vb.net Dim xfont As New Font(font_cbo.Text, font_cbo_size.Text, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
Conversion to Type Single is invalid So I tried to convert the string to Single, but with the same error. If I replace the "font_cbo_size.Text" to a number, it'll work fine.
Is it possible to add a tab character into a textblock? It's a textblock in Xaml, but i'm adding the text in code, so it has to be done there. Is there any action like "Environment.NewLine", but for the "Tab" character?
View 2 RepliesLook at this simple bug :
<textblock (...) Width="0" />
Working great, the textBox appears to be 0px thin. Works with value like, 2, 3, 4...
Now that is NOT working :
<TextBlock (...) />
<TextBlock.Width>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource WidthConverter}">

Why can i set zero value to TextBox.Width in xaml and not in code behind ? By using a converter, when returing 0, the TextBlock.Width is not set to 0 but to "auto", i can read the text
I have a rather large unilingual application that I have to make multilingual, meaning no resource file. I don't have the option of using the culture information but need to do it more on the fly at runtime so that the user can change languages either on startup or menu pick while in the application. I can handle that part ok.

Is there a way to animate a TextBlock's colour change?
At the moment I am basically using the enter/leave events to change the colour and I would like to a almost like a fade (but a fast fade, so .1/.2 secs) to give it a nicer visual appearance instead of being instantaneous.
ps. Due to constraints, the actual code is vb.net but I will accept c#.net answers as I can read both fine. Just learning WPF.

How do I apply effects such as a DropShadowEffect class to a TextBlock Run element in WPF?
Think of it as a way of highlighting certain areas of text in a TextBlock where the Run element is located, but applying an individual effect to that area instead.
I have a MainPage - mainpage.xaml Inside the MainPage I have a frame that hosts other pages. The first page that is auto loaded is the LogIn - LogIn.xaml
The user enters their email to login (no password required, just email to identify, its an internal app so passwords are not required or even wanted by users).
On MainPage.xaml the header should have a "Hello " TexBlock (name: ui_txbUserName). The LogIn page has a method which on submit gets the UserID (for other reasons and saves it) and the User Name.
I want to change the ui_txbUserName when the person logs in and update if he/she logs out of one account into another. I have looked at INotifyPropertyChanged and Dependency Properties and im just not sure how to go about doing this!

View 2 RepliesWhat I need is some formula to calculate font size of TextBlock for its owner - Let's say I have Canvas height 100.0 then which TextBlock font size should be to fill all space of the Canvas?
P.S. The main problem is that I scroll those TextBlocks horizontally...
I have a very simple StopWatch application in Silverlight. I have the following private properties in my MainPage class: _StopPressed (bool), _TimeStart, _Elapsed (string). I also have a "Start" and "Stop" button. The "Start" button calls a method called UpdateTime that constantly updates _ElapsedTime until _StopPressed is true. When I originally wrote it, UpdateTime would block the UI so I couldn't press the Stop button, so I updated my code to use System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem with my UpdateTime method so that it updates _Elapsed on a background thread. That works great at updating the value.However, if I try to set the .Text value of my TextBlock from within UpdateTime(), I get an UnauthorizedAccessException that has to do with one thread accessing the data in another thread.What do I need to do to avoid getting this exception and appropriately update the UI without blocking it?
