Any idea on how to render a TextBlock to fill available space.

Viewbox doesnt work:

  <Grid Width="400" Height="300">
    <Viewbox>
        <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Some Text" />
    </Viewbox>
   </Grid>

neither ScaleTransform:

<TextBlock FontSize="20" Text="Some Text">
  <TextBlock.RenderTransform>
    <ScaleTransform ScaleX="2.5" ScaleY="1.0" />
  </TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>

Thank you

Try HorizontalAlignment='Stretch' - it worked for me.

I guess you mean to extend a Shape or a LayoutContainer. I need to auto size a TextBlock to fill the container.

Try to create a file .xaml with these lines:

<Page xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml ">
 <Grid Width="400" Height="300" Background="#FFFFFF80">
  <Viewbox>
   <TextBlock Text="Some Text" />
  </Viewbox>
 </Grid>
</Page>

and execute with Internet Explorer. That's what I need.

Not sure what you mean by execute with Internet Explorer - are you not using Codejock's MarkupLabel or other Codejock markup enabled control?

In Codejock's XAML implementation, if I drop the unsupported "ViewBox" tag, then the TextBlock fills the width and height of the Grid.


<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
 <Grid Width="400" Height="300" Background="#FFFFFF80">
   <TextBlock Background='Red' Text="Some Text" />
 </Grid>
</Page>

I'm giving up.

btw: I am using CJ MarkupControl. To write the XAML code, instead of use MarkupPad (no offence for CJ) I prefere to create a file .xaml, write the code with Notepad++ and render the .xaml code in Internet Explorer.

I dont want to stretch the container. I need to stretch the Fontsize to adapt to the container.

Without Viewbox:

<Page xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml ">
 <Grid Width="200" Height="100" Background="#FFFFFF80">
  <TextBlock Background='Red' Text="Some Text" />
 </Grid>
</Page>

and what I need (using Viewbox or something else ...):

<Page xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" rel="nofollow - http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml ">
 <Grid Width="200" Height="100" Background="#FFFFFF80">
  <Viewbox>
   <TextBlock Background='Red' Text="Some Text" />
  </Viewbox>
 </Grid>
</Page>

The scope was to automatically resize the content. With MarkupLabel you can autoresize all objects excluding the text (or I am not able to so I asked here).
