Scenario:
You're attempting to set the TextWrapping property on a UWP TextBox and you encouter the following exception.
Exception:
System.ArgumentException: 'The parameter is incorrect. E_RUNTIME_SETVALUE'
C# (Not working)
private void MenuWordWrap_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (MenuWordWrap.IsChecked)
{
TextBoxMain.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.WrapWholeWords;
}
else
{
TextBoxMain.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.NoWrap;
}
}
Cause and Fix:
The issue in this case occurs because the TextBox control does not support the
TextWrapping.WrapWholeWords enumeration. Not all controls that implement word wrapping
implement all of the options and the TextBox is one of them. This is also true of the
RichEditBox control.
To fix the error you will want to change TextWrapping.WrapWholeWords to the following:
TextBoxMain.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
