I am new at C#
& XAML
development. I created a metro app with several textboxes. These textboxes are loaded in XAML data through a StackPanel in C# code, it has to be hardcoded. The problem is, I have no clue how I can add some empty spaces between every single textbox. Has anyone an idea?
The Code :
private void AddLastestCreatedField()
{
// Load the last created Field From DB
DBFunction.FieldTypes latestField;
DBFunction.Class1 myDBClass = new DBFunction.Class1();
latestField = myDBClass.GetLastestField();
// add new textbox and put it on the screen
var dragTranslation = new TranslateTransform();
//Generate the TextBox
TextBox fieldTextBox = new TextBox();
fieldTextBox.Name = "fieldTextBox_" + latestField.ID.ToString();
fieldTextBox.FontSize = 15;
fieldTextBox.Background.Opacity = 0.8;
ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip();
toolTip.Content = latestField.Description;
ToolTipService.SetToolTip(fieldTextBox, toolTip);
fieldTextBox.IsReadOnly = true;
// Add Drag and Drop Handler for TextBox
fieldTextBox.ManipulationMode = ManipulationModes.All;
fieldTextBox.ManipulationDelta += fieldTextBox_ManipulationDelta;
fieldTextBox.ManipulationCompleted += fieldTextBox_ManipulationCompleted;
fieldTextBox.RenderTransform = dragTranslation;
dragTranslationDict.Add(fieldTextBox.Name, dragTranslation);
fieldTextBox.RenderTransform = dragTranslation;
// Add TextBox to a List to control later
TxtBoxList.Add(fieldTextBox);
// Generate TextBlock for each TextBlock
TextBlock fieldTextBlock = new TextBlock();
// fieldTextBlock.Name = "fieldTextBlock_" + cnt.ToString();
fieldTextBlock.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right;
fieldTextBlock.HorizontalAlignment = Windows.UI.Xaml.HorizontalAlignment.Right;
fieldTextBlock.Name = "fieldTextBlock_" + latestField.ID.ToString();
fieldTextBlock.Text = latestField.Name;
fieldTextBlock.FontSize = 15;
fieldTextBlock.Height = 33;
// Add Drag and Drop Handler for TextBlock
var dragTranslation2 = new TranslateTransform();
fieldTextBlock.RenderTransform = dragTranslation2;
dragTranslationDict2.Add(fieldTextBlock.Name, dragTranslation2);
// Add TextBlock to a list to control later
TxtBlockList.Add(fieldTextBlock);
TextBoxStack.Children.Add(fieldTextBox);
TextBlockStack.Children.Add(fieldTextBlock);
}
I'll skip the usual "What have you tried?" question and say you probably can get what you need by setting the Margin
property on the TextBox
- the Margin
property will add "space" around the control size as a sort of padding (not to be confused with the Padding
property, which will add space inside the control extents)
