Question

How do I include text decorations such as Underline, Strikethrough etc in a Style definition:

<Style x:Key='UnderlinedLabel'>      <Setter Property='Control.FontFamily' Value='Trebuchet MS' />      <Setter Property='Control.FontSize' Value='14' />      <!-- Next line fails -->      <Setter Property='Control.TextDecorations' Value='Underline' /> </Style> 

I’m familiar with using the following XAML to underline text:

<TextBlock>    <Underline>        Underlined text    </Underline> </TextBlock> 

However text decoration is just another style, I want to be able to define it declaritively like FontWeight, FontSize etc.

[Update]

I was applying this style to a Label control. This was my main problem. It appears you can’t underline text in a Label. Change to a TextBlock (thanks gix) and all is well.

Underlining text can be done either with <Underline>...</Underline> or with the TextDecorations attribute set to Underline. You can include the latter in a style definition:

<Style x:Key='Underlined'>     <Setter Property='TextBlock.TextDecorations' Value='Underline' /> </Style>  <TextBlock Style='{StaticResource Underlined}'>     Foo </TextBlock>
