Wpf – Decrease line spacing in a TextBlock / FlowDocument

fontsword-wrapwpf

Some fonts have a large amount of whitespace above and below the characters. Is there a way to correct for that, and tighten up the space between lines of a word-wrapped paragraph in WPF (in either a TextBlock or a FlowDocument)? Kind of like a negative margin between lines?

There's a LineHeight property on Paragraph and TextBlock, but it only seems to let you increase the spacing — if you set it to a smaller value than the default, it's simply ignored.

Best Answer

Set the LineHeight like before, but change the LineStackingStrategy to BlockLineHeight

Wrap it in a scroll viewer:

<ScrollViewer>
    <TextBlock />
</ScrollViewer>

NOTE this answer applies to a TextBlock (a read-only text element) as asked for in the original question.

If you want to show scroll bars in a TextBox (an editable text element) then use the ScrollViewer attached properties:

<TextBox ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
         ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" />

Valid values for these two properties are Disabled, Auto, Hidden and Visible.
