Why does the text in my TextBlock extend out to the right beyond my canvas even though I specified word wrap?

<Window x:Class='WpfApplication6.Window1'     xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'     xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'     Title='Window1' SizeToContent='WidthAndHeight'>     <DockPanel>         <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock='Top' Orientation='Horizontal'>             <Button Content='111'/>             <Button Content='222'/>             <Button Content='333'/>             <Button Content='444'/>             <Button Content='555'/>         </StackPanel>         <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock='Left'>             <Button Content='One'/>             <Button Content='Two'/>             <Button Content='Three'/>             <Button Content='Four'/>             <Button Content='Five'/>         </StackPanel>         <Canvas Background='tan'>             <TextBlock TextWrapping='Wrap'>This is the content in this area here</TextBlock>         </Canvas>     </DockPanel> </Window>

SOLUTION: Thanks, Steve, that did it, I added a ScrollViewer as well, nice:

<DockPanel>     <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock='Top' Orientation='Horizontal'>         <Button Content='111'/>         <Button Content='222'/>         <Button Content='333'/>         <Button Content='444'/>         <Button Content='555'/>     </StackPanel>     <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock='Left'>         <Button Content='One' Click='Button_Click' />         <Button Content='Two'/>         <Button Content='Three'/>         <Button Content='Four'/>         <Button Content='Five'/>     </StackPanel>     <Grid Background='tan'>         <ScrollViewer>             <TextBlock Name='mainArea' Padding='10' TextWrapping='Wrap'>This is the content in this area here</TextBlock>         </ScrollViewer>     </Grid> </DockPanel>

  1. It’s inside a Canvas, so it’s not getting any width set. If you don’t need the canvas, change it to a Grid (which automatically sizes itself) and the TextBlock will wrap properly.
