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. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textblock.textalignment.aspx&quot;&gt;TextBlock.TextAlignment&lt;/a&gt; should do what you&#39;re asking for.

Besides the new Google Docs, all the other WYSIWYG web-based rich text editors (ckeditor, tinymce, old Google Docs) I&#39;ve seen are based on contenteditable or designMode. I personally hate using these editors. It doesn&#39;t take much formatting or copying/pasting before the whole experience turns into an exercise in frustration. Returns suddenly start getting double-spaced, unintended formatting gets introduced via pasting from other HTML sources, undo&#39;s/redo&#39;s are completely broken, formatting becomes excruciatingly difficult to control, etc.

I believe this is one of the reasons Google Docs introduced its own much more constrained, non-HTML formatting engine. Is there any open-source library out there that provides something similar? Thanks in advance.

I&#39;m having an issue with multiline text blocks where it is not center aligning properly

The text is coming like
&lt;pre&gt;
abcde\nabc
&lt;/pre&gt;

This comes out
&lt;pre&gt;
  abcde
  abc
&lt;/pre&gt;

What I want is
&lt;pre&gt;
  abcde
   abc
&lt;/pre&gt;

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.

What must be done to get a WPF DataGrid with cells that wrap text instead of truncating it?

Right now when a text is bigger and don&#39;t fit in a column the text is truncated and users can&#39;t see it value cos the DataGrid&#39;s IsReadOnly property is true. What I want is that the text in cells be wrapped and the cell height (NO CELL WIDTH) increased the amount needed to show all the text.


How get a WPF Datagrid with cells that wrap text instead of truncating it?

I have a WPF Combobox which is filled with, say, Customer objects. I have a DataTemplate:

    &lt;DataTemplate DataType=&quot;{x:Type MyAssembly:Customer}&quot;&gt;
        &lt;StackPanel&gt;
            &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Name}&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Address}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
    &lt;/DataTemplate&gt;

This way, when I open my ComboBox, I can see the different Customers with their Name and, below that, the Address.

But when I select a Customer, I only want to display the Name in the ComboBox. Something like:

    &lt;DataTemplate DataType=&quot;{x:Type MyAssembly:Customer}&quot;&gt;
        &lt;StackPanel&gt;
            &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Name}&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
    &lt;/DataTemplate&gt;

Can I select another Template for the selected item in a ComboBox?

**Solution**

With help from the answers, I solved it like this:

    &lt;UserControl.Resources&gt;
        &lt;ControlTemplate x:Key=&quot;SimpleTemplate&quot;&gt;
            &lt;StackPanel&gt;
                &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Name}&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
        &lt;/ControlTemplate&gt;
        &lt;ControlTemplate x:Key=&quot;ExtendedTemplate&quot;&gt;
            &lt;StackPanel&gt;
                &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Name}&quot; /&gt;
                &lt;TextBlock Text=&quot;{Binding Address}&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;/StackPanel&gt;
        &lt;/ControlTemplate&gt;
        &lt;DataTemplate x:Key=&quot;CustomerTemplate&quot;&gt;
            &lt;Control x:Name=&quot;theControl&quot; Focusable=&quot;False&quot; Template=&quot;{StaticResource ExtendedTemplate}&quot; /&gt;
            &lt;DataTemplate.Triggers&gt;
                &lt;DataTrigger Binding=&quot;{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBoxItem}}, Path=IsSelected}&quot; Value=&quot;{x:Null}&quot;&gt;
                    &lt;Setter TargetName=&quot;theControl&quot; Property=&quot;Template&quot; Value=&quot;{StaticResource SimpleTemplate}&quot; /&gt;
                &lt;/DataTrigger&gt;
            &lt;/DataTemplate.Triggers&gt;
        &lt;/DataTemplate&gt;
    &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt;

Then, my ComboBox:

    &lt;ComboBox ItemsSource=&quot;{Binding Customers}&quot; 
                    SelectedItem=&quot;{Binding SelectedCustomer}&quot;
                    ItemTemplate=&quot;{StaticResource CustomerTemplate}&quot; /&gt;

The important part to get it to work was `Binding=&quot;{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ComboBoxItem}}, Path=IsSelected}&quot; Value=&quot;{x:Null}&quot;` (the part where value should be x:Null, not True).

Can I use a different Template for the selected item in a WPF ComboBox than for the items in the dropdown part?

I need a simple way to set a shortcut for menu items.

But this don&#180;t work with shortcut, just with click:

    &lt;MenuItem Header=&quot;Editar&quot;&gt;
        &lt;MenuItem Header=&quot;Procurar&quot; Name=&quot;MenuProcurar&quot;
                  InputGestureText=&quot;Ctrl+F&quot;
                  Click=&quot;MenuProcurar_Click&quot;&gt;
            &lt;MenuItem.ToolTip&gt;
                &lt;ToolTip&gt;
                    Procurar
                &lt;/ToolTip&gt;
            &lt;/MenuItem.ToolTip&gt;
        &lt;/MenuItem&gt;
    &lt;/MenuItem&gt;

Groovy scripts raises an error:

I&#39;m displaying a TableLayout with rows as follows:

I&#39;m hitting this with everything I can find here and can think of to permit the text to wrap on many lines but to no avail: The text is always forced to a single line, running off the screen. It might matter that I&#39;m working inside a TableRow here, and so far as I can tell this hasn&#39;t been treated on this site.

So, how do I force my second TextView to wrap to many lines?

Android and displaying multi-lined text in a TextView in a TableRow

So I am running a Python script within which I am calling Python&#39;s debugger, PDB by writing:

    import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

(iPython&#39;s version of PDB, though for the matter I don&#39;t think it makes a difference; I use it for the colored output only).

Now, when I get to the debugger I want to execute a multi-line statement such as an if clause or a for loop but as soon as I type

    if condition:

and hit the return key, I get the error message `*** SyntaxError: invalid syntax (&lt;stdin&gt;, line 1)`

How can one execute multi-line statements within PDB? If not possible is there a way around this to still executing an if clause or a for loop?

How do I make an EditText on Android such that the user may not enter a multi-line text, but the display is still multi-line (i.e. there is word-wrap instead of the text going over to the right)?

It&#39;s similar to the built-in SMS application where we can&#39;t input newline but the text is displayed in multiple lines.

I&#39;d like to be able to click a textblock and have it run a Command. Is this possible?
(if not do I just somehow make a tranparent button over it or something?)



How to a add a command to a WPF TextBlock?

I&#39;m fetching text from an XML file, and I&#39;d like to insert some new lines that are interpreted by the textblock render as new lines.

I&#39;ve tried:

    &lt;data&gt;Foo bar baz \n baz bar&lt;/data&gt;

But the data is still displayed without the new line. I set the contents of `&lt;data&gt;` via the `.Text` property via C#.

What do I need to put in the XML in order for it to render the new line in the GUI?

I&#39;ve tried something like this manually setting the text in the XAML:

    &lt;TextBlock Margin=&quot;0 15 0 0&quot; Width=&quot;600&quot;&gt;
    There &amp;#10;
    is a new line.
    &lt;/TextBlock&gt;

And while the encoded character doesn&#39;t appear in the GUI it also doesn&#39;t give me a new line.

How to put a new line into a wpf TextBlock control?
