C# WPF Textblock different font color per line


I am trying to make each line of text on a WPF textblock display in a different color. I have the following code which makes the entire block's font color purple because that's the last color it's set to. How can I make it so each potion is displayed in a different color?

    private void btnShowPotions_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {

        tbPotionInfo.Foreground = Brushes.Green;
        tbPotionInfo.Text = smallPotion.Name + "(" + smallPotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n";
        tbPotionInfo.Foreground = Brushes.Blue;
        tbPotionInfo.Text += mediumPotion.Name + "(" + mediumPotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n";
        tbPotionInfo.Foreground = Brushes.Red;
        tbPotionInfo.Text += largePotion.Name + "(" + largePotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n";
        tbPotionInfo.Foreground = Brushes.Purple;
        tbPotionInfo.Text += extremePotion.Name + "(" + extremePotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n";
    }

Solution

  • You can make use of Run.

    Here is the sample of how to use the Run

    Run run = new Run(smallPotion.Name + "(" + smallPotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n");
    run.Foreground = Brushes.Green;
    tbPotionInfo.Inlines.Add(run);   
    
    run = new Run(mediumPotion.Name + "(" + mediumPotion.AffectValue + ")\r\n");
    run.Foreground = Brushes.Blue;
    tbPotionInfo.Inlines.Add(run);        
    ...
    

    Haven't verified but I hope it will help you.
