Why text from TextBlock is not displaying?

Why the text from the following TextBlock is not displaying. How can we have it displayed above the FlowDocument?

Solution

  • Grid adds elements based on a row and column index. The child elements TextBox and FlowDocumentReader should be located in different column/row of the grid panel:

    <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Margin="5" Text="This text is from TextBlock"/>

    <FlowDocumentReader Grid.Row="1">
    ....    
</Grid>
