Open User Control in a grid in main Window - WPF
user-controls, wpf
Solution
Give a name to the grid:
<Grid Name="MainGrid" >
</Grid>
and then, in code behine, handle click events:
void Button_Click_1(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
MainGrid.Children.Add( // Your control //);
}
Problem
I'm writing now an app with WPF and trying to remember things I did long time ago. I'm trying to have a window with 4 buttons that I will navigate with them through the app. My code: ``` <Grid> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="55*"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="453*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> <RowDefinition/> <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <StatusBar Margin="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="23" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="2" Background="#FF1A202C"/> <Menu Margin="0" Height="23" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Background="#FF1A202C" /> <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Width="224.2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Background="#FF1F7872" > <Button Content="Dashboard" Style="{StaticResource BorderlessButton}" Foreground="#FFF1E7E7" Template="{DynamicResource GlassButton}" Margin="25,20,23,20" Click="Button_Click_1" /> <Button Content="Components" Style="{StaticResource BorderlessButton}" Foreground="#FFF1E7E7" Template="{DynamicResource GlassButton}" Margin="25,20,23,20"/> <Button Content="TimeLine" Style="{StaticResource BorderlessButton}" Foreground="#FFF1E7E7" Template="{DynamicResource GlassButton}" Margin="25,20,23,20"/> <Button Content="Drilldown" Style="{StaticResource BorderlessButton}" Foreground="#FFF1E7E7" Template="{DynamicResource GlassButton}" Margin="25,20,23,20"/> </StackPanel> <Grid Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="#FF72B095"> </Grid> </Grid> ``` I've 4 user controls that I want they will appear in the Grid (maybe I'll need to replace the control) when I'm clicking the buttons. A friend suggest that I'll use storyboard on Blend, but I remembered that a long time ago I did it differently and I used only XAML and C#. I tried to use the storyboard tool but I didn’t understand how to use it, in general I think the storyboard tool is overkill for my use.
