I'm creating a simple WPF Application on Visual Studio 2017 (Visual C#).
I have this form:
<Window x:Class="HelloWPFApp.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:HelloWPFApp"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Greetings" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid Height="319" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="192*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="41*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="86*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Select a message option and then choose the Display button." VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="16" Width="329" Margin="102,131,86,45"/>
<RadioButton x:Name="rbHello" Content="Hello" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="102,2,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="15" Width="47" Grid.Row="1"/>
<RadioButton x:Name="rbGoodbye" Content="Goodbye" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="337,2,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="15" Width="67" Grid.Row="1"/>
<Button Content="Display" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Margin="231,2,0,0" Click="Button_Click" Height="20" Grid.Row="2"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
and this is the preview:
When I compile this is the result in a window
and if I try to use fullscreen it display me this:
Why it do this? How can I resolve it?
(This is an example from Microsoft Documentation!)
This is WPF not windows forms. And your positioning is all wrong. When you drag and drop stuff it uses absolute positioning. If you want it on the center use <Grid VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
But here is a good place to start learning the system

I have a MainWindow with a couple of radio buttons, a ContentControl and a button to change the content of ContentControl.
I also have a UserControl1 with a label on it. When I click the button on MainWindow to change the ContentControl.Content to UserControl1, it shows the label on top of the radio buttons I have from MainWindow. How can I change this so it acts like a page and does not stack each control on top of each other?
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="Test.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Height="540" Margin="0,10,-6,-19" Width="968">
<StackPanel Height="74" Margin="731,446,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="229" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Button Content="Back" MinWidth="100" Margin="10,20,0,0"/>
<Button Content="Next" MinWidth="100" Margin="10,20,0,0" Click="NextBtnClick"/>
</StackPanel>
<RadioButton x:Name="RadioBtn1" Content="Radio1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="312,130,95,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="76" Width="561" FontSize="48" FontWeight="Bold" GroupName="1"/>
<RadioButton x:Name="RadioBtn2" Content="Radio2" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="312,232,95,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="76" Width="561" FontSize="48" FontWeight="Bold" GroupName="1"/>
<ContentControl x:Name="contentControl" Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
MainWindow.xaml.cs:
private void NextBtnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (RadioBtn2.IsChecked == true)
{
this.contentControl.Content = new UserControl1();
}
}
After clicking the next button, I get the controls from UserControl1 stacked on top of the radio buttons.
I'm quite new to WPF so any help would be greatly appreciated. Navigating through the docs is a nightmare because I'm not sure how to tackle this problem.
You can trying to use Grid panel without defining rows and column definitions. As per your code, you are trying define the panel layout by hardcoded Margin, Width and Height. That's why contorls are rendered on top of each other.
I've changed the Grid code to define the Row Definitions so that controls are stacked on row basis. So when you click on Button the ContentContrl is loaded to last Row so (which is defined as Height="*" via RowDefinition to take the remaining space)
You can read about WPF Panels and Grid layout at internet. This can be a good start.

Recently I'm trying to learn some Windows 10 UWP app developments. And now I encountered a strange issue, where there is a white ribbon in the bottom of my app, see here:
If I drag and enlarge the app window, then there will be another white ribbon on the top, see here:
Here is my XAML for the UI:

</Grid>
What should I do to fix this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Jackson.
Got fixed, silly me!
I've wrongly set the grid height and the margin.
Remove those two variables will fix that issue.
Change this:
<Grid RequestedTheme="Dark" Margin="0,0,0,38" Height="600" Background="Black">
to this:
<Grid RequestedTheme="Dark" Background="Black">
I am new to WPF and suddendly my Window is not clickable anymore.
I cannot click one button and I cannot edit a text box.
I am using Visual Studio 2015 (new to it as well).
What could be the reason?
here some code:
<Window x:Class="Mxx.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="26*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="Log out" Click="MenuItem_Click1"/>
<MenuItem Header="Option 2">
<MenuItem Header="Load new control" Click="MenuItem_Click2a"/>
<MenuItem Header="Open new window" Click="MenuItem_Click2b"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
<Border x:Name="Stage" Grid.Row="1"/>
<Grid x:Name="LoginLayer" Background="#FFFFFFFF" Grid.RowSpan="2">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="LightBlue">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Mxx" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" FontWeight="Bold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="5" FontSize="20"/>
<TextBlock Text="Name" Grid.Row="1" Margin="3"/>
<TextBox x:Name="txtName" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Margin="3" MinWidth="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBox x:Name="txtName1" Background="Azure" Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1" Margin="3" MinWidth="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBlock Text="Password" Grid.Row="2" Margin="3"/>
<PasswordBox x:Name="txtPassword" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Margin="3" MinWidth="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<Button Click="Login_Click" Content="Log in" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Margin="3"/>
</Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="lat1" Text="lat" Grid.Row="4" Margin="3" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
and here my main window
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
_geoLocator = new Geolocator();
Utils.getNetworkAdapterId();
Debug.WriteLine("imei: " + Properties.Settings.Default.imei);
Properties.Settings.Default.imei = "imei1";
Properties.Settings.Default.Save(); // Saves settings in application setting
}
my debugger hits the last line
Your problem is with the last declared TextBlock
<TextBlock x:Name="lat1" Text="lat" Grid.Row="4" Margin="3" />
That is outside of the grid that has row and column definitions, and so it is defaulting to taking up all the space in the page as an overlay. You are unable to give focus to the controls beneath it.
You can see this in the XAML editor window. In the code view, click on that element, and in the designer you will see that the textblock is the full size of your window. Because it is declared last in the XAML, it take the uppermost position (z-index) and therefore "hides" the controls behind it.
You have a TextBlock covering the other controls. I think you want to move lat1 into the /Grid tag directly above it.
I have an image that is bigger than it's window container and it is placed in a ScrollViewer, however, the image does not scroll at all. I've tried putting the image in a container with no luck. What settings am I missing here? (I copied the code straight from MS, but they have it wrong)
Here's the code:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:h="http://helixtoolkit.codeplex.com" x:Class="TileLayout"
Title="TileLayout" Height="1000" Width="845" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" WindowStyle="ThreeDBorderWindow">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="center" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<TextBox x:Name="txtSourceFilePath" Width="500" Margin="10" Height="22" TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" Text="E:\projects\Test3D\SavedSnapshots\snapshot.png"/>
<Button x:Name="btnPickFile" Width="100" Margin="0,10,10,10" Content="Pick File" ></Button>
</StackPanel>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" >
<Image x:Name="imgFinal" Source="SteelMotion_chevron2.png"/>

<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="0">
<TextBox x:Name="txtSourceFilePath" Width="500" Margin="10" Height="22" TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" Text=""/>
<Button x:Name="btnPickFile" Width="100" Margin="0,10,10,10" Content="Pick File" ></Button>
</StackPanel>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.Row="1" >
<Image x:Name="imgFinal" Source="SteelMotion_chevron2.png" Width="768" Height="1408"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
You need to specify the size of the ScrollViewer.
In this case ScrollViewer and Image are same size, so the scroll bar does not show.
This is my code to open childwindow:
ImageLocation location = new ImageLocation();
location.WindowStartupLocation = Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.WindowStartupLocation.Center;
location.Show();
But the childwindow doesn't show at all.
This is my xaml for childwindow:
<xctk:ChildWindow x:Class="CXLocalSearch.Dialogs.ImageLocation"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Caption="Image Path"
xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"
Height="64" Width="400">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="63.95"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Margin="2" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Image Path" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="3,2,0,2" Orientation="Horizontal" >
<TextBox x:Name="txtPath" Margin="0,2" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="250"/>
<Button x:Name="btnSave" Content="Save" Click="btnSave_Click" Width="60" Margin="3,0,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</xctk:ChildWindow>
Could anybody please clarify what the issue is?
From the looks of it, you've separated your ChildWindow into a separate control. That's fine, but it needs to be hosted inside a primary window in order to ever become visible. Start with the simplest thing possible:
<Window>
<Grid>
<Button Click="...">Click to Show</Button>
<xctk:ChildWindow x:Name="childWindow">
<TextBlock>Hello!</TextBlock>
</xctk:ChildWindow>
</Grid>
</Window>
I think you'll find this works fine (assumes event hookup), so take it from there.
