No  you need to wrap your TextBlock in a Border  Example    lt Border BorderThickness  1  BorderBrush  Black  gt       lt TextBlock       gt   lt  Border gt    Of course  you can set these properties  BorderThickness  BorderBrush  through styles as well    lt Style x Key  notCalledBorder  TargetType   x Type Border   gt       lt Setter Property  BorderThickness  Value  1    gt       lt Setter Property  BorderBrush  Value  Black    gt   lt  Style gt    lt Border Style   StaticResource notCalledBorder   gt       lt TextBlock       gt   lt  Border gt

A TextBlock does not actually inherit from Control so it does not have properties that you would generally associate with a Control  Your best bet for adding a border in a style is to replace the TextBlock with a Label  See this link for more on the differences between a TextBlock and other Controls
