Text in WPF label is being cut-off at the end of the line

Question

I have an WPF usercontrol which has a grid with 4 columns and only 1 row.

The second column is a WPF label.

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    // I only specify there the label, no other components, just to simplify
    <Label Grid.Column="1"
           VerticalAlignment="Center"
           Margin="5"
           Content="{Binding Path=Text}"
           Foreground="{Binding Path=ForegroundColor}">
        <Label.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap" />
            </Style>
        </Label.Resources>
    </Label>
</Grid>

For some reason the text of the label is being cut-off at the end of the line instead of putting it at next line. I have tried above solution to wrap text and continue in the next line but it is not working. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I changed the Label as below according to this:

    <Label Grid.Column="1"
           VerticalAlignment="Center"
           VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
           HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
           HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
           Height="Auto"
           Margin="5"
           Foreground="{Binding Path=ForegroundColor}">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Text}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
    </Label>

and now it is working like a charm!

Does it have enough space to wrap? Can we have a screenshot? — Fildor, Jul 18 '22 at 13:51

You may use the AccessText and set the TextWrapping="Wrap":

    <Label Grid.Column="1"
           VerticalAlignment="Center"
           VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
           HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
           HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
           Height="Auto"
           Margin="5"
           Foreground="{Binding Path=ForegroundColor}">
        <Label.Content>
            <AccessText TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Path=Text}"/>
        </Label.Content>
    </Label>

yes, this is more or less what I did – Willy Jul 18 '22 at 19:00 — Willy, Jul 18 '22 at 19:00
