WPF(add a message or text in the xmal elements like ellipse at run time in windows application. [modified]

You're looking at the problem from the wrong end: An ellipse does not have the opportunity to display text, but a Label can take whatever look you want through a control template :)

<Grid>

<Grid.Resources>

<Style x:Key="EllipseLabel" TargetType="{x:Type Label}">

  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
        <Grid >
          <Ellipse  Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
                    Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
                    Stroke="LightPink"
                    StrokeThickness="05"
                    Fill="blue" />
          <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
        </Grid>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>

</Style>   

</Grid.Resources>

<Label Width="200" Height="100" Style="{StaticResource EllipseLabel}" Content="hello world" />

</Grid>

...accordingly, if you change your label's content, the text changes.

Sir, Thanks for your concern. i need the text like textbox while in rumn time wt we want we are inserting,like this way i want to write some thing in the ellipse at run mode of the windows appliaction. Thanks and Regards Ch.Gaytari

There's no problem doing that - you can change a label's content at runtime through a binding expression or code. It's a label, after all. even though it looks like an ellipse.

Could you please give the sample code of this problem.Thanks in advance. With Regards Ch.Gayatri

This is regular WPF 101 - just give the label in my sample a name like this:

<Label x:Name="myLabel" ... />

...and in code, set the text:

myLabel.Content = "this is easy";

If you want to enter text, you need to style another control, e.g. textbox:

<Grid>

<Grid.Resources>

<Style x:Key="EllipseLabel" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">

  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
        <Grid >
          <Ellipse  Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
                    Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
                    Stroke="LightPink"
                    StrokeThickness="05"
                    Fill="blue" />
          <ScrollViewer HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0" x:Name="PART\_ContentHost"/>
        </Grid>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>

</Style>   

</Grid.Resources>

<TextBox Width="200" Height="100" Style="{StaticResource EllipseLabel}" Text="hello world" />

</Grid>
