Alignment Center not possible?

[SonOfKorriban]

Servus,

i tried to Center this control horizontally AND vertically. Both are not working, because both properties are using the Top Left Corner of the Control. So if i write:
HorizontalAlignment="Center" and VerticalAlignment="Center"
the top left corner of the control is in the mid of my Window.

Is there any solution for this? Why there is this behaviour?

.NET or .NET Framework

Check the .NET target framework(s) being used, and include the version number(s). Put an x between the [ ] to check it.

• .NET (5 or Core)
• .NET Framework

Technology

Check the .NET target framework(s) being used, and include the version number(s). Put an x between the [ ] to check it.

• WPF
• Windows Forms

@SonOfKorriban sorry for the delay in response. When issues like this aren't tied to documentation, you'll generally get a quicker response searching and asking on StackOverflow.

Positioning and stretching is based on the container of your control. You'll need to supply some more xaml for me to understand the structure of your window.

Thank you for responding and no problem:
i have got an class named OutlineTextControl, inherited from FrameworkElement. (I copied your code basically)
Then, i've got a Window, where i use this Control in following way:

<Window>
  <Grid>
    <Grid>
       <Grid Panel.ZIndex="5">
         <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="4*"/>
                    <RowDefinition Height="2*"/>
                    <RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
                    <RowDefinition Height="4*"/>
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <kuatxamlextentions:OutlineTextControl  Font="Aurebesh" Fill="Black" Text="Hello There" Highlight="False" 
                   Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center"  Stroke="White" Panel.ZIndex="6" StrokeThickness="1" 
                   RenderTransformOrigin="10.5,10.5"/>

There is no difference, if i use the control inside a canvas, or a grid. The result is always the same: If i try to Center it horizontally, it only centers the Top Left corner of the Control.
