Text Box

The text box presents an area for typed (keyboard) input. It can be for a single or multiple lines of input.

Useful Properties

You will probably use these properties most often:

Property	Description
Text	The current text in the input.
PasswordChar	Hides any characters typed, and replacing them with the given character instead.
Watermark	Appears as a faded hint whenever the input is empty.
AcceptsReturn	Makes the input multi-line by allowing the user to enter line returns. A vertical scrollbar will appear if the content exceeds the height available.
TextWrapping	Defines how horizontal line overflow will be handled. Options are: 'NoWrap', 'Wrap' and 'WrapWithOverflow'.

Example

This example has a basic one line text box, a password box, and a text-wrapping multiline text box:

<StackPanel Margin="20">
  <TextBlock Margin="0 5" >Name:</TextBlock>
  <TextBox  Watermark="Enter your name"/>
  <TextBlock Margin="0 5" >Password:</TextBlock>
  <TextBox PasswordChar="*" Watermark="Enter your password"/>
  <TextBlock Margin="0 15 0 5">Notes:</TextBlock>
  <TextBox Height="100" AcceptsReturn="True" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
