Designing with Silverlight

bulleted list?

Hi,

How do I create a bulleted list inside a textblock?

Re: bulleted list?

Good question. You can type a bullet with the alt+0149 key combination. You can use runs and linebreaks to make it appear as a list.

Re: bulleted list?

Ok, thanks.

I find it strange because when working with a Silverlight Application in Expression Blend there is a 'List' tab in the text properties, but this tab is not enabled. Neither is the 'Paragraph' or 'Line indent' tabs.

hi,

i have to do the same thing...can you please share the code for adding the bullets using the ALT+0149 & run..

Re: bulleted list?

Here's the 'run' example from msdn done with a 'bullet' in front:

<TextBlock
FontFamily="Arial" Width="400" Text="Sample text formatting runs">
<LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="Maroon" FontFamily="Courier New" FontSize="24">• Courier New 24</Run>
<LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="Teal" FontFamily="Times New Roman" FontSize="18" FontStyle="Italic">• Times New Roman Italic 18</Run>
<LineBreak/>
<Run Foreground="SteelBlue" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold">• Verdana Bold 14</Run>
</TextBlock>

Re: bulleted list?

Is this still the preferred method for creating a bulleted list? When the text wraps, how do you indent the next line so it aligns with the first line's text and not the bullet?

Re: bulleted list?

Surprisingly, there is no bullet list even in SL3. Here's a quick and easy way to render an array as an unordered list in silverlight:

Re: bulleted list?

StackPanel or Grid would be much better suited for building bullet list then using textblock. Make Grid with as many rows as you need and two columns. In the first column place your bullet symbol or image or roman numeral. In the second column place textblock with text. This way you will have full control of presentation (margins, borders, alignments...). If you use bullet list a lot make your own BulletList item control and share it with us. We all win.
