Here's what the TextBox looks like after text is added. ScrollViewer.SetVerticalScrollBarVisibility(textBox, ScrollBarVisibility.Auto) TextBox.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap You can show the vertical scrollbars by setting the ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility to Auto on the embedded ScrollViewer, as shown here. However, vertical scrollbars are not shown by default. Scrolling using a scroll-wheel or touch is automatically enabled when needed.

You should test that a multi-line TextBox doesn’t grow beyond its visible area, and constrain its growth if it does. (TextBox doesn't support the TextWrapping.WrapWholeWords enumeration value.)Ī multi-line TextBox will continue to grow vertically as text is entered unless it’s constrained by its Height or MaxHeight property, or by a parent container.

To enable text wrapping, set the TextWrapping property to Wrap.

To let the text box allow and display the newline or return characters, set the AcceptsReturn property to true.

There are two properties that control whether the TextBox displays text on more than one line. If you need only to display text, consider using a TextBlock or RichTextBlock instead. You can make the TextBox read-only until the conditions are met. For example, you might have a TextBox for a user to enter comments that is enabled only under certain conditions. You can make a TextBox read-only by setting the IsReadOnly property to true. The clear all button is not shown in any of these cases: The clear all button is shown only for editable, single-line text boxes that contain text and have focus. When a user clicks the 'x', the text in the TextBox is cleared. TextBox includes a clear all button ('x') that appears when text is entered in the box. Use the Paste event to modify pasted text if this is important for your app. However, MaxLength does not restrict the length of pasted text. You can restrict the number of characters the user can type by setting the MaxLength property. For design info, see Guidelines for labels. To customize the look of the header, you can set the HeaderTemplate property instead of Header. You can add a Header (or label) and PlaceholderText (or watermark) to the TextBox to give the user an indication of what the TextBox is for. You typically use an event like a submit button Click to access the Text property, but you can handle the TextChanged or TextChanging event if you need to do something when the text changes. It’s common to use a TextBox to accept data input on a form, and use the Text property to get the complete text string from the TextBox.

If you need to enter or edit formatted text, see RichEditBox. If you need a text box to enter search terms, see AutoSuggestBox. If you need an editable text box that accepts passwords or other sensitive input, see PasswordBox. You can use a TextBox control to display and edit unformatted text. The blue border indicates that the TextBox has focus. TextBox.PlaceholderText = 'Type your notes here'

Here's how to create a TextBox in XAML and in code.

It also has spell checking capabilities built in and enabled by default.

A 'clear all' button lets a user quickly delete all text that has been entered.

It comes with a familiar, built-in context menu with support for copying and pasting text.

It supports text input from a keyboard or a pen (using ink and handwriting recognition).

TextBox has a number of features that can simplify text entry: The text displays on the screen in a simple uniform plaintext format. It's typically used to capture a single line of text, but can be configured to capture multiple lines of text. The TextBox control enables a user to enter text into an app.
