Text on the left side of checkbox in WPF?

Question

What is the easiest way to put checkbox content (text) on the left side of the checkbox itself?

Answer 1

A solution that maximizes "easiness" and "correctness" is to make a RightToLeft checkbox with LeftToRight content:

<CheckBox FlowDirection="RightToLeft">     <TextBlock FlowDirection="LeftToRight" Text="CheckBox Content:" /> </CheckBox> 

Or if you'd like a style:

<Style TargetType="CheckBox">     <Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="RightToLeft" />     <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">         <Setter.Value>             <DataTemplate>                 <ContentControl FlowDirection="LeftToRight" Content="{Binding}" />             </DataTemplate>         </Setter.Value>     </Setter> </Style> 

Answer 2

In code:

System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox checkBox = new System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox(); checkBox.Content = ":CheckBox Enabled"; checkBox.FlowDirection = System.Windows.FlowDirection.RightToLeft; 

In XAML:

<CheckBox FlowDirection="RightToLeft" Content=":CheckBox Enabled" /> 

EDIT

User punker76 helped me notice that colon ":" has to be places infront of the text to be displayed correctly, at the end ("CheckBox Enabled:"), probably caused by an affect flow direction has on text element. Nice catch.
