Often you cannot replace a Label with a TextBlock as you want to the use the Target property  which sets focus to the targeted control when using the keyboard e g  ALT C in the sample code below   as that s all a Label really offers over a TextBlock    However  a Label uses a TextBlock to render text  if a string is placed in the Content property  which it typically is   therefore  you can add a style for TextBlock inside the Label like so    lt Label                   Content   Content Text       Target   Binding ElementName MyTargetControl   gt       lt Label Resources gt           lt Style TargetType  TextBlock  gt               lt Setter Property  TextWrapping  Value  Wrap    gt           lt  Style gt       lt  Label Resources gt    lt  Label gt    lt CheckBox x Name    MyTargetControl    gt    This way you get to keep the functionality of a Label whilst also being able to wrap the text

Instead of using a Label class  I would recommend using a TextBlock   This allows you to set the TextWrapping appropriately   You can always do    label1 Content   new TextBlock     Text   textBox1 Text  TextWrapping   TextWrapping Wrap      However  if all this  label  is for is to display text  use a TextBlock instead

To wrap text in the label control  change the the template of label as follows   lt Style x Key  quot ErrorBoxStyle quot  TargetType  quot  x Type Label  quot  gt       lt Setter Property  quot BorderBrush quot  Value  quot  FFF08A73 quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot BorderThickness quot  Value  quot 1 quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot Foreground quot  Value  quot Red quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot Background quot  Value  quot  FFFFE3DF quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot FontWeight quot  Value  quot Bold quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot Padding quot  Value  quot 5 quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot HorizontalContentAlignment quot  Value  quot Left quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot VerticalContentAlignment quot  Value  quot Top quot   gt       lt Setter Property  quot Template quot  gt           lt Setter Value gt               lt ControlTemplate TargetType  quot  x Type Label  quot  gt                   lt Border BorderBrush  quot  TemplateBinding BorderBrush  quot  BorderThickness  quot  TemplateBinding BorderThickness  quot  Background  quot  TemplateBinding Background  quot  Padding  quot  TemplateBinding Padding  quot  SnapsToDevicePixels  quot true quot  CornerRadius  quot 5 quot  HorizontalAlignment  quot Stretch quot  gt                                             lt TextBlock TextWrapping  quot Wrap quot  Text  quot  TemplateBinding Content  quot   gt                   lt  Border gt                                    lt  ControlTemplate gt           lt  Setter Value gt       lt  Setter gt   lt  Style gt

The Label control doesn t directly support text wrapping in WPF  You should use a TextBlock instead   Of course  you can place the TextBlock inside of a Label control  if you wish    Sample code    lt TextBlock TextWrapping  WrapWithOverflow  gt      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet  consectetur adipiscing elit  Donec adipiscing     nulla quis libero egestas lobortis  Duis blandit imperdiet ornare  Nulla     ac arcu ut purus placerat congue  Integer pretium fermentum gravida   lt  TextBlock gt
