G'day,
I'm not sure if this is a problem relevant to only me or if anyone else has this issue also. None the less, I'll try and describe what is going on here.
I have a few textbox's, default style, etc. I set an explicit maxwidth and maxheight to prevent resize when the text exceeds the default width of the textbox. The issue is that the text wraps to the next line, but I only want single line. So I set maxlines to 1 and textwrapping to NoWrap. That's fine.
Now the carat and typed text disappears under the edges of the textbox when the width is exceeded and the only way I can get the carat and newly typed text back into view is by pressing the left and right arrows. Coming from MFC and using textboxes all the time with HTML, I would have thought the default behaviour would be to have the textbox content scroll with the carat or am I missing something here?
Thank you,
Ash
What you are requesting is actually the default behavior. Start with an empty grid and place a textbox on it. Type some text into the box and the text view will scroll with the caret.
Below is the XAML I tested with, perhaps you have a style interfering with it?
<Grid>
<TextBox MaxWidth="20" Height="20"></TextBox>
</Grid>

Here's a screen shot of the problem:
As you can see the left-most part of the string is getting truncated. This is just a standard combobox and there's nothing overlapping it on the form.
Your label is too long!
its overwriting the edge of that edit box.
Bring the combobox to the front. It seems like the label before your combobox is in front of it.
Just reproduced this.
As previous comments suggest, your label is most definitely too long.
Please reconsider the placement of your elements, perhaps the label should end with more space between the label and the combobox.
This can easily be done via the designer window (Shift + F7 whilst on the code behind e.g. form.cs)
We have a case where we need to display Character Ellipsis(i.e. show text as trimmed) when we have multiline text.
The textblock shows trailing ellipsis when the content is anyway bigger than the width of the multiline TextBlock (i.e. TextWrapping is set to Wrap).
But we have a case wherein, we need to show only one line with ellipsis whether the text width of the first line is greater than the width of textblock or not.
For example, consider the following sample text
String str = "1\n2\n3456\n45889";
textBlock.Text = str;
The TextBlock should display as shown below:
1...
and the ToolTip will show the entire text. I tried doing some research on the possibilities but could not find much help and was wondering if anyone in the community has encountered such a situation or perhaps could suggest me?
Since, we shouldn't change the underlying data object (real time scenario) but only change what is rendered to the user, I am guessing a Converter should do the trick but I am still stuck on how to proceed. Or do you guys have any other alternatives?
Create a custom control based off of the textblock which handles the business logic needed for the ellipse.
The binding of the actual text to a specific property can ensure that the text is not changed. While in a separate property you have the visual text with the ellipse which gets updated when the original text changes (the dependency property change event) and the visual text subsequently displayed on the screen. Also have the tooltip bound to the original text which helps in that scenario of showing the actual text and not the ellipsed text.
By creating an easy custom control you have the ability to handle the business logic all in one location and it can be used in other screens and projects.
I have a TextBox, I am trying to place a TextBlock adjacent to TextBox using AdornedElementPlaceholder when the TextBox has focus. But after reading from MSDN, I found that AdornedElementPlaceholder can only be used for ValidationError.
I have used a Grid with column, but this is tacking the actual TextBox width that I have set in XAML, I dont want to interfere the TextBox, just want to place a element next to it, irrespective of Width.
Adding a sample image, this image is part of Error Template I created for Validation. But I cant use ValidationTemplate here.
Please put light on this question.
I have a TextBox inside a ChildWindow which I use for text input. I could not get the text box to scroll when the text does not fit inside so I wrapped it inside a ScrollViewer
<ScrollViewer Height="200" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<TextBox Name="TaskDescription" AcceptsReturn="True"></TextBox>
</ScrollViewer>
When the text box is full, it scrolls and this is expected. However, I do not see the current edited line.
I read articles on making the ScrollViewer automatically scroll but that will make my TextBox scroll to the end which won't allow editing text somewhere in the middle as it will jump to the end as soon as a key is typed.
The ScrollViewer is trying to accommodate the size of the textbox, which is increasing in size. The better alternative to not use the scrollviewer and to let the textbox naturally place the scrollbars when needed. Nothing should need to be done so the textbox.
Is there a way to make the label text move as in marquee but in windows form application , thanks.
Thanks.
It isn't exactly clear where you might want to move the text to, if it doesn't fit the layout then there are no real options. In general, window layouts are contrained width-wise but have some room for growth vertically. Enforce this by setting the Label's MaximumSize property to, say, (100,0) so it cannot grow in the width and overlap some other control. That will make it start wrapping text and use more vertical space.
If that's a problem as well then set AutoSize = False and AutoEllipsis = True. The user can now tell that the text got truncated. And automatically gets a tooltip when she hovers the label.
