Automatic line break in WPF label

.net, line-breaks, wpf, wpf-controls

Solution

Using both Label and TextBlock together seems to be the correct answer. There's a howto located here that demonstrates this exact issue.

Specifically, in their example, to get wrapping text and an access key:

<Label Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
       Target="{Binding ElementName=textBox1}">
  <AccessText TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow">
    _Another long piece of text that requires text wrapping
    goes here.
  </AccessText>
</Label>

Problem

Is it possible for a WPF `Label` to split itself automatically into several lines? In my following example, the text is cropped at the right. ``` <Window x:Class="..." xmlns="..." xmlns:x="..." Height="300" Width="300"> <Grid> <Label> `_Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. </Label> </Grid> </Window> ``` Am I doing something wrong? Taking other controls is unfortunately not a good option, since I need support of access keys. Replacing the `Label` with a `TextBlock` (having `TextWrapping="Wrap"`), and adjusting its control template to recognize access keys would be perhaps a solution, but isn't it an overkill? Edit: having a non-standard style for label will break skinning, so I would like to avoid it, if possible.
