you can do like this..

 TextBlock txt1 = new TextBlock();
        txt1.Height = 72;
        txt1.Width = 72;
        txt1.Margin = new Thickness(193, 3, 0, 0);
        InputScope inputScope = new InputScope();
        InputScopeName inputScopeName = new InputScopeName();
        inputScopeName.NameValue = InputScopeNameValue.Number;

        inputScope.Names.Add(inputScopeName);
        txt1.InputScope = inputScope;
        SomeGrid.Children.Add(txt1); // somegrid is a parent control in which you wanted to add your textblock

You can simply drag and drop from toolbox. However, You can do it like this via code.

System.Windows.Forms.TextBox txt1 = = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
txt1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(78, 183);
this.txt1.MaxLength = 3;
this.txt1.Multiline = true;
this.txt1.Name = "txt1";
this.txt1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(130, 72);
this.txt1.TabIndex = 2;
this.Controls.Add(this.txt1);

Now InputScope = Number

There are couple of ways here. You can use MaskedTextBox or you can restrict user by validating his input. First one is the preferred.

System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox txt1= new System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox();
this.txt1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(149, 141);
this.txt1.Mask = "000";
this.txt1.Name = "txt1";
this.txt1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 20);
this.txt1.TabIndex = 3;
this.txt1.ValidatingType = typeof(int);
this.Controls.Add(this.txt1);

You are right But InputScope="Number" is missing. I need that also. User should enter only number not words

You can create the TextBox the same way you have mentioned and then you can set the properties. Something like

TextBox txt1 = new TextBox();
tx1.Name = "tx1";

You should be able to set most of the properties like this. For few complex properties you may have to create an instance of some type and then set it.
