Hi I wish to add WPF control to ElementHost in my WinForms application. The behavior of my control is depicted on picture. I wish expanding any expander make my treeview control resize to smaller size. And on the beginning I wish my expanders to be collapsed.
I was trying sth like that:
<UserControl x:Class="LeftPane"
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:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d" >
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="3,3,3,3">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TreeView Grid.Row="0" Name="treeView1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
</TreeView>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Name="StackPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom">
<ListBox SelectedIndex="1">
<ListBoxItem VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Expander Grid.Row="1" ExpandDirection="Down" Header="expander1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Name="expander1" IsExpanded="False">
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 1"/>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 2"/>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Expander Grid.Row="2" ExpandDirection="Down" Header="expander2" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Name="expander2" IsExpanded="False">
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 1"/>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 2"/>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
and:
public void AddControl(ElementHost host)
{
this.parentHost = host;
host.Child = this;
this.Height = host.Size.Height;
treeView1.MaxHeight = this.Height - 60;
}
But it doesn't work correctly. What is more I would like this control resize while I resize my winForms window.
Can anyone help me how to set aligment etc.
This is how I would achieve this... first, I would change the Grid
to the following:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
This will provide the two Expander
controls with as much space as they need and the TreeView
with all of the rest:
<TreeView Grid.Row="0" Name="treeView1" />
<Expander Grid.Row="1" Header="expander1" Name="expander1" IsExpanded="False">
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 1"/>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 2"/>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
<Expander Grid.Row="2" Header="expander2" Name="expander2" IsExpanded="False">
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 1"/>
<ListBoxItem Content="Unit 2"/>
</ListBox>
</Expander>
