I am trying to create some buttons with text below them and add them to the stackpanel in the code at runtime. I create buttons based on a list of data. Here is my code:
Xaml
<StackPanel x:Name="MainSP" />
FROM#
foreach (item in ItemList)
{
Button newBtn = new Button();
Image buttonImage = new Image();
buttonImage.Width = 100;
buttonImage.Height = 100;
buttonImage.Stretch = Systems.Windows.Media.Stretch.Uniform;
buttonImage.Source = new BitmapImage(pokemon.ImageURI);
newBtn.Tag = item.Id;
newBtn.Name = String.Format("{0}Button", item.Name);
newBtn.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(newBtn_Click);
FamilyStackPanel.Children.Add(newBtn);
}
I know this is awkward programming. I really want to configure a ControlTemplate in XAML and then reuse this when creating buttons in the code. Here is the XAML:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ButtomTemplate" TargetType="Button">
<Grid Height="108" Width="Auto" Margin = "6,6">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Width = "54" Height="54" Stretch="UniformToFill" Grid.Row="0">
<Image.Source>
<BitmapImage UriSource="{Binding ImageUri}" CreateOptions="BackgroundCreation"/>
</Image.Source>
</Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"
Foreground ="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
I tried using controlTemplate as above, and then for the bindings, I set newbtn.DataContext in the code.
foreach (Families item in ItemList)
{
Button newBtn = new Button();
newBtn.Template = this.Resources["ButtonTemplate"] as ControlTemplate;
newBtn.Tag = item.Id;
newBtn.Name = String.Format("{0}Button", item.Name);
newBtn.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(newBtn_Click);
newBtn.DataContext = item;
FamilyStackPanel.Children.Add(newBtn);
}
In the data context, I also tried to execute newBtn.DataContext = ItemList[itemIndex], but that didn't work. All I get is a blank screen.
, , XAML, . ?
