Unable to use TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" on TextBox elements

Open julienshepherd opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

Setting TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" in Xaml causes an exception in InitializeComponent().

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Start Visual Studio 2022 (latest version, 17.2.0 at the time of writing), select "Create a new project", select "Blank App (Universal Windows)" in C#, then click Create.
  2. Leave the versions as default. At the time of writing they are: target version - Windows 10, version 2004, minimum version - Windows 10, version 1809. Click OK.
  3. In MainPage.xaml, add a TextBox with property TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords".
  4. In Visual Studio, click Local Machine to debug the app.
  5. Notice the exception:

Windows.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParseException: 'The text associated with this error code could not be found.

E_RUNTIME_SETVALUE [Line: 12 Position: 18]'

I have same problem too. TextWrapping value Wrap is okay.

I was going nuts trying to convert a TextBlock with this property to TextBox and had no idea what was going on. This error is very cryptic and happening during layout. Lost a couple of hours of fiddling due to this as I was trying to restyle the template and thought it had something to do with that.

TextBox and RichEditBox don't support the WrapWholeWords value for their TextWrapping properties.

See 'Remarks' section: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.textwrapping?view=winrt-22621

TextBlock & RichTextBlock

OK, but TextBox and RichTextBox is basically a TextBlock and RichTextBlock respectively when it is not in editing mode. How hard is it to bring the wrapping mode to them?

This is a known limitation of TextBox. See the Remarks section of the docs on TextBox.TextWrapping Property.

@kmahone Unless I'm mistaken, did TextBox & RichTextBox recently get updated to exhibit the WrapWholeWords behavior by default (without setting TextWrapping explicitly)?
