    Here is what I have found to work. You can specify different foreground colors for each .

                <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
                <TextBlock.Inlines>
                    <Run Text="{x:Bind Name}" FontWeight="SemiBold"/>
                    <Run Text="Some other text"/>
                </TextBlock.Inlines>
            </TextBlock>

    Hi @TedRogers ,

    I have developed the custom control using Textbox control which doesn't support Run like in TextBlock control. So please suggest me any possible solution for the TextBox control.

    @Eswaran That is much more difficult if you want to allow editing of the text. The only thing I can think of is to have a display mode where you display stylized text in a TextBlock and an edit mode where you display the un-stylized text in a TextBox. Maybe search around for a third-party control.
