How do I vertically center text in a UWP TextBox?
This is the default UWP style, but this is what comes out:
I just want it to be centered.
It can also be done by modifying the TextBox style as follows:
Right-click on the TextBox, Edit Template => Create a Copy.
At the style look for ScrollViewer x:Name="ContentElement" and ContentControl x:Name="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter" element. Add VerticalAlignment="Center" to both of them.

So I created a RichEditBox in UWP and made a custom style to set ZoomMode="Enabled" in the Scrollviewer.
After that I zoomed and some lines of the text were gone, or only the half of the text was visible.
Here a short video:
So you can see the text hiding on zoom with Ctrl + mousewheel
Does anybody know if I did anything wrong, or it is a problem of the scrollviewer?
Btw my code:

First of all, the explanation of this behavior is that the text is not gone. They are still in the Scrollviewer but out of the visible area. If you scroll the slider of the Scrollviewer, you should be able to find this text upper left corner.
But I got a different behavior when testing your code in a blank UWP app. When I tried to zoom the RichEditBox, the content of the RichEditBox is zoomed, but they are still visible because the Scrollviewer will automatically relocate itself. When the zoom action is finished, the Scrollviewer will align upper left corner. So the text should be always visible.
I have this app in UWP that has a TextBox. By some very complicated constraints, I cannot use anything else but the 'native' TextBox.
I need to remove the X button (or to make it as small as possible), be it in XAML or in C#. After my research I could not find anything apart from creating my own usercontrol, but that's not an option. (it doesn't make much sense to explain why).
Any help will be appreciated!
Can you access the TextBox's properties though the form? If so, you could comment out the DeleteButtonStyle like this. Hope it's what you are looking at.
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<!--
<Style x:Name="DeleteButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
</Style>
-->
</Grid.Resources>
....
All you need to do is right click on your TextBox, click "Edit Template" and then "Edit a Copy".
This should then give you the full template for the TextBox control in XAML.
Here is a full copy:

Within that code there is a section for the Delete Button and a Font Size of 12 is defined. Simply change this to a smaller number in order to shrink its size then apply the style to your TextBox with the following
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle1}" Width="100" Height="50"></TextBox>
Does anybody know how I can extract the textblock text out of a listboxitem that has been generated at runtime?
I have a ListBoxItem that I custom made that contains a SymbolIcon and a textBlock.
I just need the textBlock value.
private void AlbumSongList_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var selected = AlbumSongList.SelectedItem as ListBoxItem;
DataTemplate template = selected.ContentTemplate;
Debug.WriteLine("You have selected the song: " + selected.ToString());
}
Here is the custom control that contains the textblock

Again, if you see the "Textblock" that has a text binding source of Sing, that is what I need the text value of.
ListBox has a default selection behavior that depends on what the items source is (the type that's used for ItemsSource). So the SelectedItem is the type of your Model class, so you can get the text of the TextBlock from your selected model.
For example, your model class Name is Model, then you can get the text using the following code,
private void ListBox_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
var selected = AlbumSongList.SelectedItem as Model;
Debug.WriteLine("You have selected the song: Song Number is {0}, and Song is {1}",
selected.SongNumber, selected.Song);
}
I am using a style for a textbox in a page in my uwp app.The style I am writing in Page.resources tag. How to add this style globally and access in every page of app. But I want to use the style across the app by writing once. How can I do it.

You can put the styles in the App.xaml to make it accessible globally. You can add the style within the App.xaml like this:
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" x:Name="TextBoxstyle">
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlThemeMinWidth}" /> (the rest of your setters)...
</Style>
</Application.Resource>
Then you can call the style into any of your pages just like how you call it before. For example:
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource TextBoxstyle}" />
Write the style in App.xaml. You can access it on pages
<Application.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
<!--Write your style here-->
</Style>
</Application.Resources>

Although I changed the foreground color to white the placeholder text is showing in grey.
In normal textBox placeholder text i shown white as I want. Does anybody know if i have to add some property or something
Just if somebody get stuck in some same situation, to change the placeholder color there is a property tag in the style and there somebody can change the foreground property.
<ContentControl x:Name="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding PlaceholderText}"
Foreground="White"
IsTabStop="False" Margin="{ThemeResource RichEditBoxTextThemeMargin}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Grid.Row="1"/>
