Stop WPF TextBox from growing
I spent two hours learning how to avoid my WPF TextBox Control growing when long text is typed, but I was unable to do so, even if I read some answers about it:
stopping-wpf-textbox-from-growing-with-text
wpf-allow-textbox-to-be-resized-but-not-to-grow-on-user-input
wpf-how-to-stop-textbox-from-autosizing
My code is as follows:
<Grid>
<TextBox Margin="6,6,8,28" Name="textBox1" AcceptsTab="True" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" AcceptsReturn="True"/>
<CheckBox Content="Case sensitive" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="7,0,0,2" Name="checkBox1" Height="16" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</Grid>
One thing I've tried:
MaxWidth={Binding ElementName=MyGrid, Path=ActualWidth}
But it didn't work for me.
I also tried to add the following property to the Grid:
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
or
<Border x:Name="b" Grid.Column="1"/>
<TextBox Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=b}" ....... />
But that didn't work either.
I need my control to expand when the user stretches the window, but not before long text is inserted.
Do you have another answer to this problem that I can try?
UPDATE!
I noticed something very strange: if I manually expand the window, the textbox stops growing when long text is inserted. It's great. But I need to achieve this without stretching the window every time I run the program
