Hey all,
I was wondering if there is a way to put content into a User Control. I can
do it using a Custom Control, but haven't figured out how to set the content
property (can be of the user control, or of its base class). I've used the
new keyword on a dependancy property and can assign things to the property
such as a <Button /> but it doesn't seem to want to render the xaml into the
user control.
Have tried a ContentPresenter and a ContentControl but it wont work. Can't
seem to find a specific example of this so not sure if its even possible.
namespace Controls {
[ContentProperty("Content")]
public partial class Container : UserControl {
public Container() {
InitializeComponent();
}
public new object Content {
get { return (object)GetValue(ContentProperty); }
set { SetValue(ContentProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for Content. This enables
animation, styling, binding, etc...
public new static readonly DependencyProperty ContentProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Content", typeof(object), typeof(Container),
new PropertyMetadata(null));
}
}
<UserControl x:Class="Controls.Container"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation";
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml";>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<Canvas x:Name="detatchedVideoWindow" Width="640" Height="480" Canvas.Left
="-150" Canvas.Top="400" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="theContent" Content="{Binding Content}" />
</Canvas>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
sorry about the horrible formatting
thanks,
Stephen
