If I have Window in WPF as follows:
<Window
Title="Alter Window Width so that the complete title is shown."
SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner">
This window will automatically resize to make sure all of its content is visible. But it doesn't do the same for the title, so it's possible that a part of the title will be hidden when the window is shown.
What can be done to make sure that the width of the window is enough to show the title in the title bar?
To make the window resizable you could add invisible (Fill=”Transparent”) rectangles, one for each side of the window and another one for each corner of the window, to our XAML defined control template as described in the above blog post. Hope that helps.
How do I programmatically change the Title in a wpf window? Change the Title from "Contacts" to "Something new" when the program finds new information as it starts. You should use binding. Bind the title property of window to a property of your DataContext.
Window is the root control that must be used to hold/host other controls (e.g. Button) as container. Page is a control which can be hosted in other container controls like NavigationWindow or Frame. Page control has its own goal to serve like other controls (e.g. Button). Page is to create browser like applications.
You can change the background colour of the TilteBar by overriding the RibbonWindow template in App. Xaml and change the value of Background property in TitleBarStyleKey. The following code example demonstrates the same.
Add a hidden textblock in to the window:
<TextBlock
Text="{Binding Path=Title,RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"
Visibility="Hidden"
Height="0"
Margin="100 0 0 0">
</TextBlock>
The Margin allows for the windows controls to be pushed out of the way.
The Height makes the control take up no vertical space.
The Visiblity is probable not required because of the zero height, but by setting it to hidden will cause it to take up space on the canvas but show nothing.
