# 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.
