Answer 1

U can make this by converting your text to Path and then Make Clipping On your white Rectangle with that Path.

Try this:

c# code

private void textToMask_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)  
{  
    Typeface face = new Typeface("Candara");  
    FormattedText tx = new FormattedText(textToMask.Text, Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture, FlowDirection.LeftToRight, face, 70, Brushes.Black);  
    Geometry textGeom = tx.BuildGeometry(new Point(0, 0));  
    Rect boundingRect = new Rect(new Point(-100000, -100000), new Point(100000, 100000));  
    RectangleGeometry boundingGeom = new RectangleGeometry(boundingRect);  
    GeometryGroup group = new GeometryGroup();  
    group.Children.Add(boundingGeom);  
    group.Children.Add(textGeom);  
    target.Clip = group;  
}
