Is there any simple way to center a text in textbox? I was looking for some built-in functions, but I found nothing.

You can reach the text within a WPF-TextBox with the combination VerticalAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment. You set the content to center and the total height with Stretch to the size of the comprehensive element like a grid row
<TextBox VerticalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Center">
Test
</TextBox>
it's too late but this may be helpful for someone
Try adding this two peoperties to your control
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
<TextBox VerticalAlignment="Center" Padding="5" >
VerticalAlignment = "Center" and padding You can reach the text within a WPF-TextBox with the combination VerticalAlignment and Padding. Like VerticalAlignment = "Center" Padding = "5" Padding causes the text field to become larger and adapt to the surrounding element.
If you are using a custom ControlTemplate, you need to change the ScrollViewer (x:Name="PART_ContentHost") to have VerticalAlignment="Center". (In addition to setting VerticalAlignment and VerticalContentAlignment on the TextBox itself as described in other answers.)
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" Focusable="false" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
