How to: Draw Text to a Control's Background
You can draw text directly to the background of a control by converting a text string to a xref:System.Windows.Media.FormattedText object, and then drawing the object to the control's xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingContext. You can also use this technique for drawing to the background of objects derived from xref:System.Windows.Controls.Panel, such as xref:System.Windows.Controls.Canvas and xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel.
Example of controls with custom text backgrounds
Example
To draw to the background of a control, create a new xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush object and draw the converted text to the object's xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingContext. Then, assign the new xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush to the control's background property.
The following code example shows how to create a xref:System.Windows.Media.FormattedText object and draw to the background of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.Label and xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button object.
