As the title say, I need to know how can I set a specific header height for a GroupBox, suppose I've this:
<GroupBox Header="Test">
</GroupBox>
this will display an header height based on the content of the header, but is possible also set a specific header height? How?
Thanks.
Instead of using a string for setting the GroupBox Header property, use directly a TextBlock, something like that:
<GroupBox>
<GroupBox.Header>
<TextBlock Text="High Header" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" MinHeight="100" />
</GroupBox.Header>
<Button Content="Button1" />
</GroupBox>

I'm wanting to have a CheckBox as the Header in a GroupBox but all I'm getting in the Header is: System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox Content:My CheckBoxHeader IsChecked:False
<GroupBox>
<GroupBox.Header>
<CheckBox Content="My CheckBoxHeader" />
</GroupBox.Header>
</GroupBox>
Any ideas?
Edit:
This is in a simple UserControl.
How can I change the Background of the header of a GroupBox?
I'm trying to do that with:
<GroupBox Grid.Row="0">
<GroupBox.Header>
<Setter Property="Background" //<- no backgroundproperty
there is no Background property
You can define a Border in the Header and set the Background of it to your desired color:
<GroupBox >
<GroupBox.Header>
<Border Background="Red">
<Label Content="Hello"></Label>
</Border>
</GroupBox.Header>
</GroupBox>
You could set the Header property to any UI element including a Grid or a Border for example:
<GroupBox>
<GroupBox.Header>
<Border Background="Green">
<TextBlock Text="header..." />
</Border>
</GroupBox.Header>
<TextBlock Text="content..."></TextBlock>
</GroupBox>
Take a look at this site: Control Templates, Styles, and Triggers
this is probably more than you need, but it explains how to use a control template to modify controls in various ways. I use this particular control (with different colors) for groupboxes on one of my applications, and it has come in very handy.
i want groupbox's header editable that means at runtime i want it to be open for edit like we do rename in microsoft excelsheet in bottom left.
i came to know we can do it by control template but don't know how to write template for it.
It's easy to create Editable Header:
<GroupBox>
<GroupBox.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="Editable Header"/>
</DataTemplate>
</GroupBox.HeaderTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="Some Content" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</GroupBox>
Or if you want to modify the template of all control?
Then you can find sample here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms744748(v=vs.100).aspx
I have a groupbox, but I want to had a padding of 5 all around the header, but no margin around the content.
How would I best go about this? I can't seem to find a way to seperate the padding values from each other...
here a simple example
<GroupBox Height="100" Width="200">
<GroupBox.Header>
<TextBlock Text="HEADER" Margin="10"></TextBlock>
</GroupBox.Header>
<Rectangle Fill="Blue"></Rectangle>
</GroupBox>
I'm displaying a series of messages (like emails) on a Grid:
<layout:TransitioningContentControl Name="tccCmdMessage" Margin="0,4">
<layout:TransitioningContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" FontWeight="SemiBold" />
<TextBlock Name="tbCmdMessage" Text="{Binding Message}" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</layout:TransitioningContentControl.ContentTemplate>
</layout:TransitioningContentControl>
However, the tbCmdMessage never displays. If I remove the TextTrimming (or change it to None) it works. Alternatively if I don't use a ContentControl parent it also works.
Any ideas?
Take a look at this link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/wpf/thread/30fd3279-7bc8-424f-9ee6-41b9f9589a1a.
I suppose explicitly specifying the Width (or MaxWidth) of the StackPanel can make the texts trimmed. You can also try to use another type of container, like Grid.
