Hi,

I have a Textbox in a silverlight app like this:

XML

<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" TextWrapping="Wrap" Height="200" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"></TextBox>

My problem is that the text you enter stays vertically centered regardless of what settings I set.

I must be missing something?? I tried Google, but I'm not really finding anything relating to my problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Sorry guys, just realized that it might be the theme I'm using. So I googled a bit more and and thought I'll post my solution here for someone else. Ended up doing this to override the default textbox theme.

XML

<stackpanel.resources>
    <style targettype="TextBox">
        <setter property="VerticalContentAlignment" value="Top"></setter>
    </style>
</stackpanel.resources>

The only issue is that now the textbox isn't styled like the others, but this is fine for what I'm doing.

Regards
