Question

Is it possible to use a converter within a style? For instance I am trying to create a styled TextBlock whose text resizes based on the ActualHeight property of the TextBlock. The resizing would be done via a converter.

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible. For example:

<Style TargetType='TextBlock'>     <Setter Property='FontSize'>         <Setter.Value>             <Binding Path='ActualHeight' RelativeSource='{RelativeSource Self}'>                 <Binding.Converter>                     <MyConverter/>                 </Binding.Converter>             </Binding>         </Setter.Value>     </Setter> </Style> 

Depending on your exact scenario, you might also be able to use the more succinct:

<Style TargetType='TextBlock'>     <Setter Property='FontSize' Value='{Binding ActualHeight, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Converter={StaticResource MyConverter}}'/> </Style>
