Some examples:
This is the original, unwrapped version:
This is NoWrap
.
This is Wrap
. The words Remove
and Sample
have been wrapped at the ve
and le
, respectively, even though there is no line break opportunity.
This is WrapWithOverflow
. The ve
and le
are not visible (they overflow the available block width) because there is no line break opportunity. The All
, in both cases, has been wrapped because the space
character is a line break opportunity.
Edit:
As suggested in the comments, here's some examples of how Wrap
treats spaces. When Width
is 100
, Wrap
and WrapWithOverflow
are identical. Wrap
treats the space between wider
and example
as a line-break opportunity, so example
is put on a new line to preserve the entire, continuous word.
MSDN
WrapWithOverflow Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width. However, a line may overflow beyond the block width if the line breaking algorithm cannot determine a line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.
NoWrap No line wrapping is performed.
Wrap Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width, even if the standard line breaking algorithm cannot determine any line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.
Hope this helps
One thing to add to the other answers, WrapWithOverflow lets you use text trimming (ellipsis) on the long words that get cut off:
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" Width="120" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis">
A really long word is antidisestablishmentarianism and we can use ellipsis trimming.
</TextBlock>
