Question

Ok I have the following problem in Silverlight. I have a control with 2 columns. On the left is a stack panel with line numbers and on the right is a textBox.

So when I write in textBox without wrapping turned on I can simply create the right count of numbers on the left, because I’m searching for ‘\r’ in text.

But when I turn on wrapping I have no control over the count of lines in textBox.

Is there a way to get to that count? Or a way to know which line in textBox is going to wrap?

I hope you can understand what I’m trying to do.

There’s one way to do this. You can simulate the word wrap operation in the background using a TextBlock. Here is a good link of the complete solution to this problem.
