Vertical Align in WPF TextBox

I have 2 TextBoxes in my wpf app, one for user name and other for password, both have FontSize=20, but the text appears like this:

alt text

How can I fix this?

Xaml:

<TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Height="40" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Text="test" />
<PasswordBox Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Height="40" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Password="test" />
Solution

  • Adjust the Padding properties of these controls, e.g. Padding="0":

    <TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Height="40" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Text="test" Padding="0" />  
<PasswordBox Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Height="40" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Password="test" Padding="0" />

    Or, don't set the Height properties, and instead let the controls size themselves automatically based on the height of their content:

    <TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Text="test" />
<PasswordBox Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="#FFD5D5D5" FontSize="36" Password="test" />
