	Hi, I am using WPF Diagramming. I have a ShapeNode and I would like to show some text above the shape. To do this I set TextPadding = new System.Windows.Thickness(0, -15, 0, 0). This works fine. However, if the length of text is wider than the node, i would like it to just continue on one line, rather than wrap when it reaches the right edge of the shape. I tried TextWrapping = NoWrap, but this just makes the text disappear completely. I also tried many other things. Any workaround to achieve what i need ? I attached an image to better explain. Thanks Greg

	Hi, By that logic you can also extend the horizontal text region using negative Left and Right members of TextPadding: Code var d = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(110, 110, 50, 50); d.TextPadding = new Thickness(-200000, -15, -200000, 0); d.Text = "major major major major major major"; d.TextVerticalAlignment = AlignmentY.Top; d.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center; That works fine in my test project. I hope that helps, Stoyan
