I would try:

Text On A Path in WPF[^]

or

But if these are no good then I dont think you can "Bend" a textbox in the manner you want. I could be wrong and would love to know how!!! :)

Very thanks for your answer, I know about bending text, but I want interactive with text box in run time like writing, copy, paste and etc act. any idea?

mmmm thought you would say that. Unfortunately I do not. The only thing I can think of is to have say a popup or editor region that could show / hide. When the user wants to edit / paste the text, the text in the text box is bound to a text block that is bent around a path. Sorry for no other solution.

Thank you, but it is very theoretically solution! and I want a textbox that bend on a path only;)

I know. I am actually surprised that I cannot find anything better. I beleive you can make a brush out of pretty much anything, and then paint it on a surface, but then being able to interact with it is another problem. Too bad Microsoft has so reduced its support of WPF/Silverlight.

"Microsoft has so reduced its support of WPF/Silverlight" You said something alarming about this technology. Whether this prediction is true that it may be old and we have to change the technology? What are your advice to use in the future instead WPF/Silverlight?
