    copied!<p>One nice looking way is to make your default text a watermark. I assume this is going to be in a UserControl so here is my implementation</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;SolidColorBrush x:Key="brushWatermarkBackground" Color="White" /&gt; &lt;SolidColorBrush x:Key="brushWatermarkForeground" Color="LightSteelBlue" /&gt; &lt;SolidColorBrush x:Key="brushWatermarkBorder" Color="Indigo" /&gt; &lt;utilities:TextInputToVisibilityConverter x:Key="TextInputToVisibilityConverter" /&gt; &lt;utilities:VisibilityToColorConverter x:Key="VisibilityToColorConverter" /&gt; &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;TextBlock Name="MsgHeader1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="18,0,19,134" Width="308" Text="Enter Name Here..." Foreground="{StaticResource brushWatermarkForeground}" Height="46" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="White"&gt; &lt;TextBlock.Visibility&gt; &lt;MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource TextInputToVisibilityConverter}"&gt; &lt;Binding ElementName="MsgHeader2" Path="Text.IsEmpty" /&gt; &lt;Binding ElementName="MsgHeader2" Path="IsFocused" /&gt; &lt;/MultiBinding&gt; &lt;/TextBlock.Visibility&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;TextBox Name="MsgHeader2" TextWrapping="Wrap" Background="{Binding ElementName=MsgHeader1, Path=Visibility, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityToColorConverter}}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource brushWatermarkBorder}" Margin="18,0,19,134" Text="{Binding MessageHeader}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="308" Height="46" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p>Obviously you have to define your own ValueConverters (mine are my own utilities xmlns), but these are easy enough. This will also give you a data binding for your text once you have some that has been entered.</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
