Question

I would like a textblock that has vertical scrolling. I have the following XAML

        <ScrollViewer HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="90" Margin="10,416,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="463" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"  HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" CanContentScroll="True" >
        <TextBlock Name="txtConfigPath" Text="" >                
        </TextBlock>
    </ScrollViewer>

This produces a textblock that only scrolls horizontally. I’ve tried everything I can think of but this control only wants to scroll horizontally.

You have several options here. You can set TextWrapping=Wrap on the TextBlock and Disable the HorizontalScrolling on the ScrollViewer, or you can set the TextWrapping on the TextBlock and either set a fixed width to your TextBlock or you can Bind it’s MaxWidth to the ActualWidth of the ScrollViewer like TextBlock MaxWidth="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ScrollViewer}, Path=ActualWidth}"

Hope this helps, cheers!
