How to hide textboxes, labels and buttons C# WPF

Question

I would like to hide several textboxes, a label and a button as soon as a button is clicked... however, for some reason, my code doesn't seem to cause this effect. Nothing appears to happen. I'm using WPF.

Here is my code:

private void doSomething_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {

        Name.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden; 

    }

This code doesn't seem to work.. any ideas?

Answer 1

I believe Visibility.Collapsed is what you need and not Visibility.Hidden.

EDIT: Did you try follow up this code with UpdateLayout() method of parent element/component?

Answer 2

Your code seems to work fine, the "Signing in..." label appears after everything else disappear. I suggest you to just copy all your code from the .xaml.cs file and the .xaml file into a new project, but make sure you don't copy the first line"<Window x:Class="..." because it could generate an error if the class name isn't the same in the new project.

For the xaml code I suggest you not think the same as you design windows forms applications. WPF has the layout system, which re-orientates or re-sizes its elements when re-sizing the window. So you should not specify exact numbers in the margin property as if they where coordinates. Create a grid, create rows or columns for each element and then just set the horizontal or vertical alignment or margins. Think different than the old windows forms way.
