Why doesn't the text wrap in my static Markup? Here's the XAML...

CString stackPanel = _T("<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'>");

CString image = _T("<Image Source='res://info.bmp' VerticalAlignment='Center'/>");

CString margin = _T("<StackPanel Margin='5, 0, 0, 0'>");

CString caption;

caption.Format(_T("<TextBlock TextAlignment='Left' FontWeight='Bold' TextWrapping='Wrap'>%s</TextBlock>"), captionStr);

CString note;

note.Format(_T("<TextBlock TextAlignment='Left' TextWrapping='Wrap'>%s</TextBlock>"), noteStr);

CString ending = _T("</StackPanel></StackPanel>");

CString text = stackPanel;

text += image;

text += margin;

text += caption;

text += note;

text += ending;

SetMarkupText(text);

HI,

because this text located in Horizontal StackPanel. Horizontal StackPanel have INT_MAX width.

you have to replace it to Grid.

I tried a grid and it still doesn't wrap...

_T("<Border BorderThickness='1' BorderBrush='#808080'>")

_T("<Grid>")

_T("<Grid.ColumnDefinitions><ColumnDefinition Width='Auto'/><ColumnDefinition Width='Auto'/></Grid.ColumnDefinitions>")

_T("<Grid.RowDefinitions><RowDefinition/><RowDefinition/></Grid.RowDefinitions>")

_T("<Border Padding='3' Grid.Column='0' Grid.Row='0' BorderThickness='1' Background='#e0e0e0' BorderBrush='#808080'><TextBlock Text='caption:'/></Border>")

_T("<Border Padding='3' Grid.Column='0' Grid.Row='1' BorderThickness='1' Background='#e0e0e0' BorderBrush='#808080'><TextBlock Text='note:'/></Border>")

_T("<Border Padding='3' Grid.Column='1' Grid.Row='0' BorderThickness='1' Background='White' BorderBrush='#808080'><TextBlock Text='%s' FontWeight='Bold' TextWrapping='wrap'/></Border>")

_T("<Border Padding='3' Grid.Column='1' Grid.Row='1' BorderThickness='1' Background='White' BorderBrush='#808080'><TextBlock Text='%s' TextWrapping='wrap'/></Border>")

_T("</Grid>")

_T("</Border>"),

Hi,

try

_T("<Grid.ColumnDefinitions><ColumnDefinition Width='Auto'/><ColumnDefinition Width='*'/></Grid.ColumnDefinitions>")
