How can I align my checkbox to the right and the content to the left?
Below is my code for the checkbox.
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Row="10" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="0,0,250,0" >
<CheckBox x:Name="chkBoxWelcomeGift" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<CheckBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}">
<Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="LeftToRight"/>
</Style>
</CheckBox.Resources>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox x:Name="chkBoxBirthdayCoupon" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<CheckBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}">
<Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="LeftToRight"/>
</Style>
</CheckBox.Resources>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox x:Name="chkBoxB1G1" FlowDirection="RightToLeft" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<CheckBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}">
<Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="LeftToRight"/>
</Style>
</CheckBox.Resources>
</CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
Here is the result of the code.
I've try HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"> in the checkbox but it seem like didn't work. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
In check box or radio button by default the content will come in right if you want it appear left, either you have to ovveride the control template and make it as you want or you can use 2 controls in combination as below
<Wrappanel>
<Label/>
<Checkbox/>
</Wrappanel>

I have an MenuItem and in this MenuItem I add an ItemSource, so that the Items of this menuItem are createt from an Observable Collection. My MenuItem look like that:
<MenuItem Foreground="Black"
FontFamily="{Binding ElementName=wpfAudit, Path=FontFamily}"
FontSize="{Binding ElementName=wpfAudit, Path=FontSize}"
FontWeight="{Binding ElementName=wpfAudit, Path=FontWeight}"
Header="Artikellabel Drucker"
ItemsSource="{Binding ocArtikellabeldrucker, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}">
</MenuItem>
Now I want to edit the MenuItem.Icon of the Items which I created with an ItemSource.
What I tried is this:
<MenuItem.Resources>
<RadioButton x:Key="RadioButtonResource" x:Shared="false" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
GroupName="MenuItemRadio" IsHitTestVisible="False" IsChecked="{Binding IstDrucker}" Style="{StaticResource {x:Type RadioButton}}"/>
</MenuItem.Resources>
But this dosent work. So how can I get that to work? Maybe with an ControlTemplate ?
Something like below will work
<Style x:Key="MenuItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<RadioButton IsChecked="True" Content="Test Item" />
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I have a WPF form with multiple buttons in one row. When you resize the form it should show the buttons which would be cut off in the next row. How can I do that?
<DockPanel Height="700" Margin="0,0,0,40" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Button Height="150" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="30">t1</Button>
<Button Height="150" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="30">t2</Button>
<Button Height="150" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="30">t3</Button>
<Button Height="150" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="30">t4</Button>
</StackPanel>
</DockPanel>
You can use a WrapPanel, which does exactly that:
Positions child elements in sequential position from left to right, breaking content to the next line at the edge of the containing box.
Moreover, you could create an implicit style for your buttons, so you can set the properties once and they will be applied automatically to all buttons within the scope of the wrap panel.
<WrapPanel DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">
<WrapPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="30"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="150"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="200"/>
</Style>
</WrapPanel.Resources>
<Button>t1</Button>
<Button>t2</Button>
<Button>t3</Button>
<Button>t4</Button>
</WrapPanel>
An alternative to setting the button Height and Width is to setting the ItemHeight and ItemWidth properties on the wrap panel, but you have to consider the margins here (+30 dips on all four sides).
<WrapPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" ItemHeight="210" ItemWidth="260">
<WrapPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="30"/>
</Style>
</WrapPanel.Resources>
<Button>t1</Button>
<Button>t2</Button>
<Button>t3</Button>
<Button>t4</Button>
</WrapPanel>
I have changed the style of a ToggleButton in a ResourceDictionary. In my style I'm changing the ControlTemplate of the ToggleButton and I place an image before the Content.
Now here is my question: The image needs to be changed for different ToggleButtons I use in XAML, should I define different styles for each ToggleButton with different image or is there some way I can change its image in XAML?
<Style x:Key="BaseToggleButton" TargetType="ToggleButton">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" x:Name="Border">
<Image Width="13" Height="13" Source="{StaticResource ColumnsLayoutMiniIcon}"/>
<TextBlock>
<ContentPresenter/>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Is there a way I can change the image here instead of in style?
<RadioButton Content="Plan View"
GroupName="View"
Style="{StaticResource BaseToggleButton}">
</RadioButton>
Sure, you can piggy back in on an unused property that comes in real handy for this sort of situation called Tag which you can you use to pass in your image path or resource declaration etc once we go bind it to the template like;
<Style x:Key="BaseToggleButton" TargetType="ToggleButton">
<!-- Let's give it a default -->
<Setter Property="Tag" Value="{StaticResource ColumnsLayoutMiniIcon}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" x:Name="Border">
<Image Width="13" Height="13"
Source="{TemplateBinding Tag}"/>
<ContentPresenter/>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Now we can either leave as is and it should display that mini icon as your default, you can specify a new one at the instance level like;
<ToggleButton Content="Plan View"
Tag="{StaticResource ADifferentImagePathOrResourcePointingToOne}"
Style="{StaticResource BaseToggleButton}"/>
Hope this helps, cheers.
I'm trying to write a HeaderTemplate for an extender. So far, I've noticed all the examples use the {Binding} keyword to get the data from the header. However, what happens if there are multiple controls within the Header? How do I specify that those controls should be inserted at a specific location?
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="ExpanderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<!-- what do I put in here? -->
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Expander Style="{StaticResource ExpanderStyle}">
<Expander.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock>Some Text</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeBinding}" />
<Button />
</StackPanel>
</Expander.Header>
<Image Source="https://www.google.com/logos/2012/steno12-hp.jpg" />
</Expander>
Should I be moving my binding into the HeaderTemplate in the style and just overwriting whatever the Header in the Expander is?
You can use ContentPresenter to insert whatever the usual content would be into your Template
For example:
<Style x:Key="ExpanderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderBrush="Blue" BorderThickness="2">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Header's property Content could contain only one object.
If you merge these object in one panel:
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>Some Text</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeBinding}" />
<Button />
</StackPanel>
then in template you could use {binding}
I am only two weeks into WPF so this is probably a trivial question. I have a collection "CellList" which has a few properties I would like to bind to a ToolTip so when I hover over a label information from the current instance of CellList is displayed. How do I do that? I understand simple binding and this maybe simple binding too but I can't wrap my head around it. Below is my XAML for the label. Could someone explain to me how I can accomplish this.
<HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding CellList}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content=" " Height="20" Width="15" Background="{Binding Path=ExptNameBkg, Converter={StaticResource ExptNameToBrushConverter}}" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" >
</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
Thanks.
The tricky thing about ToolTips is that a ToolTip is an object you associate with a control, and not part of the control's visual tree. So you can't populate it the way you'd populate things in the visual tree, e.g.:
<TextBox.ToolTip>
<StackPanel>
...put bound controls here
</StackPanel>
</TextBox.ToolTip>
Instead, what you have to do is create a specific instance of a ToolTip, and assign it a style that sets its DataContext (very important; that's how you can bind to the properties of the data source of its "placement target," i.e. the control that's displaying the tooltip) and its Template. Then put the visual tree of the ToolTip, including bindings, into the template. Finally, reference the ToolTip in your control.
So, here's a TextBox whose Binding does validation:
<TextBox ToolTip="{StaticResource ErrorToolTip}">
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding Source="SourceProperty">
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<DataErrorValidationRule/>
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>
It uses this ToolTip:
<ToolTip x:Key="ErrorToolTip" Style="{StaticResource ErrorToolTipStyle}"/>
And the ToolTip uses this style, which gets its content from the ValidationError property of the TextBox's binding source:
<Style x:Key="ErrorToolTipStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="HasDropShadow" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="DataContext" Value="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">
<Border
Name="Border"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="LightGray">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Label Background="Firebrick" Foreground="White" FontWeight="Bold" Margin="4">Validation error</Label>
<TextBlock Margin="10" Text="{Binding ValidationError}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="HasDropShadow" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="CornerRadius" Value="4"/>
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I'm not certain of this, but I think that the only part of the above that actually has to be set in the style is the DataTrigger setting the DataContext; I think most everything else could just be explicitly set in the ToolTip's visual tree. But I'm probably not thinking of something important.
<Label Content={Binding Path=Id} ToolTip={Binding Path=Name}/>
just try this
Here's a kaxaml-ready example that includes a tooltip that is a little more elaborate than just text:
<Page

<Character First="Lisa" Last="Simpson" Background="Pink" />
<Character First="Maggie" Last="Simpson" Background="Yellow" />
<Character First="Marge" Last="Simpson" Background="PapayaWhip" />
</Data>
</x:XData>
</XmlDataProvider>
<ToolTip x:Key="ElaborateToolTip">
<Grid Margin="5">
<Rectangle RadiusX="6" RadiusY="6" Fill="{Binding XPath=#Background}" />
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=#First}" Margin="0,0,6,0" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=#Last}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</ToolTip>
</Page.Resources>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource CharacterData}, XPath=Data/Character}">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">

</Style>
