Description

Gets or sets the formatting style name at the current input position. If text is selected, the property specifies the style of the whole selected text.

Syntax

public string StyleName { get; set; }

Public Property StyleName As String

Examples

The following XAML example shows how to bind the StyleName property to a combo box which contains all style names returned by the StyleNames property.

<ComboBox
    Width="200"
    IsEditable="True"
    IsReadOnly="True"
    Text="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.StyleName}"
    ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.StyleNames}" />

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using InputFormat.StyleName.

textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

inputFormat.StyleName = "CustomerName";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(inputFormat.StyleName))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Style Name: {inputFormat.StyleName}");
}

textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

inputFormat.StyleName = "CustomerName"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(inputFormat.StyleName) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Style Name: {inputFormat.StyleName}")
End If

Remarks

The property returns null when the text selection contains multiple characters with different styles.
