VerticalContentAlignment in TextBox - Editors for WPF Forum

Posted 12 years ago by Paul Wilde - Senior Developer, Exponential Limited

Version: 12.2.0573

Platform: .NET 4.0

Environment: Windows 7 (64-bit)

The VerticalContentAlignment property for the editors:TextBox behaves differently to the standard WPF textbox (in the ActiPro version it seems to be being ignored). I'm using your version for the great hint functionality, so it would be nice if this could be fixed. On a related note, are there any plans to add a ComboBox to this library? Or alternatively, a way to add hinting support to the standard WPF combobox?

Edit: A quick followup - PasswordBox seems to have the same issue. Hints are being vertically centered correctly, however.

Hi Paul,

Ok, we'll look into tweaking this for the next version.

If you are using our native control themes, we support the various HintProperties on a number of controls, including ComboBox. HintProperties is a class of attached properties in the ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls namespace. You could set its Hint attached property on a target TextBox or ComboBox control.

Thanks - the hints are properly vertically aligned so it looks a little odd otherwise. I just tried the HintProperties and it works perfectly - thanks very much!

The latest build of this product (v24.1.3) was released 10 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
