Newline in a WPF-label?

label, newline, wpf

Solution

<Label><TextBlock>Lorem<LineBreak/>ipsum</TextBlock></Label>

You need to use TextBlock because TextBlock accepts as children a collection of Inline objects. So you are giving the TextBlock element three Inline items: Run Text="Lorem", LineBreak, and Run Text="ipsum".

You can't do the following:

<Label>Lorem<LineBreak/>ipsum</Label>`

because a label accepts one content child element.

Also, not sure exactly what your use case is but notice I placed a TextBlock inside your Label element. Is it repetitive? Not really, depending on your need. Here's a good article on the differences between the two elements: Difference between Label and TextBlock

Problem

How can I add a newline in the text of a label in WPF such as the following? ``` <Label>Lorem ipsum</Label> ```
