I have a border in my WPF-Application and I want to have some text inside of my border like in my picture below.
But I could not figure out how to do it.
My code right now:
<Border Margin="10" BorderThickness="5px" BorderBrush="Gray" CornerRadius="5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">
<RadioButton Margin="5">Test</RadioButton>
</Border>
Thanks for your help!
You could use a GroupBox that meets your needs.
<Grid>
<GroupBox Margin="10">
<GroupBox.Header>
Some Text
</GroupBox.Header>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" Margin="10" Text="Happy every day!"/>
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
I need to create a button similar like below, it is a textbox and a button combined, you can click "Get Code" button and you will receive a SMS text with the code, then you can input the code in the textbox.
textbox and a button
anyone can help?
Hi, my current code is quite simple.
<Button
Grid.Row="2"
Grid.Column="0"
HorizontalOptions="Center"
Text="Get Code"
FontFamily="{ StaticResource IconsFontFamily }"
Style="{ StaticResource CircleActionButtonFlatStyle }"
micro:Message.Attach="[Event Clicked] = [Action SendVerifyCodeAsync()]"/>
<Entry
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="2"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Text="{Binding Code}"
Placeholder="Send Code" />
Has people said in comments, you need to wrap it in borders.
With this example, you just need to change the color for the ones you want, and then you can set Click events in the respective borders to make them act like buttons and do the respective actions. You can add the code micro:Message.Attach="[Event Clicked] = [Action SendVerifyCodeAsync()]" to the respective border.
Code:
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Margin="10" CornerRadius="15">
<Grid Margin="-1">
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Input code" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" HorizontalAlignment="Right" CornerRadius="15" Background="#FF39D3D3">
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Get Code" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</Border>
Example:
I have problem with align two labels who has different size and are neighbors. I have to show variable as big size and units as small. But because of the different position of the font baseline, the texts are not located on the same line. Look at my xaml:
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Content="5" FontSize="70" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="White" Padding="0" Margin="0" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" />
<Label Content="s" FontSize="14" Foreground="White" Padding="0" Margin="0" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</StackPanel>
I see solution of this problem: I can pick up margin or padding, but it is not good decision. In addition, I can not remove the upper gap of a larger text. May be exist more elegant way to deside this problem. Please, show me this, if somebody know, or tell, that is isn't possible, and I will pick up margin or padding. I was looking for a solution for a long time. The most similar here: WPF: Aligning the base line of a Label and its TextBox
But my elements has different size and this way is bad for me.
Thanks for any help!
If you are not required to use Labels, you can achieve baseline alignment by using Runs inside a TextBlock.
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
<Run Text="5" FontSize="70" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="White" />
<Run Text="s" FontSize="14" Foreground="White" />
</TextBlock>
You should use that margins:
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Label Content="5" FontSize="70" FontWeight="DemiBold" Foreground="White" Padding="0" Margin="0" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" />
<Label Content="s" FontSize="14" Foreground="White" Padding="0" Margin="0 0 0 12" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</StackPanel>
I would like to reproduce this effect :
How can I do with xaml ?
(note that the text can be variable)
Thanks in advance for your help
You can easily achieve this with a combination of Border and Grid panels:
<Grid Width="200" Height="200" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black" Margin="0,7,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="Lorem Ipsum..." Margin="20"/>
</Border>
<Border Background="White" Margin="10,0,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<TextBlock Text="My Title" />
</Border>
</Grid>
I am trying to modify my simple control so that the text box does not grow as the user types in long text. I took a look at some solutions posted here at Stackoverflow that suggest using a Grid and an invisible Border and binding the Width of the text box to the ActualWidth of the Border, but I can't seem to get it to work in my setup.
Here is the xaml of my control:
<StackPanel Margin="5,0">
<WrapPanel Margin="0,0,0,5">
<TextBlock Foreground="White" Margin="0,0,2,0">TEXT</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Foreground="#FF0099CC" FontWeight="Bold">MORE TEXT</TextBlock>
</WrapPanel>
<Border Margin="2,4,0,4" BorderThickness="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="Black"
BorderBrush="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlDarkBrushKey}}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="..\Resources\zoom.png" Width="13"/>
<TextBox Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="Transparent">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
Any ideas? I need the zoom.png to appear "inside" of the text box so I use a horizontal stack panel and just place the image and text box side by side, both surrounded by the same border.
Is there a way for me to stop my text box from auto growing as text is typed?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
Below is the xaml I am testing with.
<Window x:Class="Desktop.Shell"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

WindowStyle="None"

<Border BorderBrush="Black"
BorderThickness="1.5"
CornerRadius="5"

<ItemsControl composite:RegionManager.RegionName="MainRegion">

</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</Border>
</Window>
<UserControl x:Class="Desktop.SearchTextBox"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="50" Margin="0">
<StackPanel Margin="5,0">
<WrapPanel Margin="0,0,0,5">
<TextBlock Foreground="White" Margin="0,0,2,0">TEXT</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Foreground="#FF0099CC" FontWeight="Bold">MORE TEXT</TextBlock>
</WrapPanel>
<Border Margin="2,4,0,4" BorderThickness="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="Black"
BorderBrush="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlDarkBrushKey}}">
<Grid x:Name="grdTest">
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="..\Resources\zoom.png" Width="13"/>
<TextBox Margin="16,0,0,0" Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="Transparent" Width="{Binding ElementName=grdTest, Path=ActualWidth}">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
</Grid>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>
I just add my user control to the Window's MainRegion.
I did some more searching and found the solution. I used the below Grid to replace the grid in my original post and now the text box keeps its original size and does not auto grow on long user input. Thanks to all who looked into this.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Source="..\Resources\zoom.png" Width="13"/>
<Border x:Name="b" Grid.Column="1"/>
<TextBox Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=b}" Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="Transparent"
Grid.Column="1"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="THIS IS SOME TEXT"/>
</Grid>
Try to put ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" inside Grid.
Name the Grid as x:Name="grdTest" and try this
<Grid x:Name="grdTest">
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="..\Resources\zoom.png" Width="13"/>
<TextBox Margin="16,0,0,0" Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="Transparent"
Width="{Binding ElementName=grdTest, Path=ActualWidth}">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
</Grid>
To stop the grow behavior set an explicit size to the TextBox or place it in a grid with the HorizontalAlignment set to stretch
Option 1:
<TextBox Width="60">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
Option 2:
<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
I had a very similar issue, and it turned out that my Window property "SizeToContent" was set to "WidthAndHeight", I removed setting that property, (which then defaults to "Manual") and this fixed my similar issue.
To scale the border containing the textbox to the width of the outter stack panel, change the inner stack panel to a grid and set a left margin on the text box so it doesn't overlap with the image. Also set the image's horizontal alignment to left (if that is where you want it) or it will default to the center of the border.
<StackPanel Margin="5,0">
<WrapPanel Margin="0,0,0,5">
<TextBlock Foreground="White" Margin="0,0,2,0">TEXT</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Foreground="#FF0099CC" FontWeight="Bold">MORE TEXT</TextBlock>
</WrapPanel>
<Border Margin="2,4,0,4" BorderThickness="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="Black"
BorderBrush="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlDarkBrushKey}}">
<Grid>
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="..\Resources\zoom.png" Width="13"/>
<TextBox Margin="16,0,0,0" Foreground="White" Background="Black" BorderBrush="Transparent">THIS IS SOME TEXT</TextBox>
</Grid>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
This article shows a solution for a textbox that is displayed inside a scrollviewer's viewport (in treeview or listbox). A PART_MeasureTextBlock is used (bound to the textbox) to determine the available size and set it to the textbox.
Please have look here and tell me what you think about it:
