I have created a dynamic TextBox
in a WrapPanel
which I want to change on a button click event.
I am finding the control using FindName
, but what should I do after this? Alternatively, is there different way to find the control using Name
?
Here is my code:
WrapPanel wpOrderList = new WrapPanel();
TextBox txtCount = new TextBox();
txtCount.Text = "1";
txtCount.Height = 20;
txtCount.Width = 20;
txtCount.Name = "txtCount_" + global;
wpOrderList.Children.Add(txtCount);
void btnPlus_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
string[] strngname = (sender as Button).Name.ToString().Split('_');
this.FindName("txtCount_" + strngname[1]);
//What should I do to change the textbox text now here?
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
con.Close();
}
}
In xaml
<StackPanel x:Name="stk">
<Button Click="Button_Click_1" Height="50">Click</Button>
</StackPanel>
In Windows Loaded Event
WrapPanel wpOrderList = new WrapPanel();
TextBox txtCount = new TextBox();
txtCount.Text = "1";
txtCount.Height = 20;
txtCount.Width = 20;
txtCount.Name = "txt";
wpOrderList.Children.Add(txtCount);
stk.Children.Add(wpOrderList);
On Button Click
TextBox foundTextBox = FindChild<TextBox>(this, "txt");
foundTextBox.Text = "fdf";
Helper Function
public static T FindChild<T>(DependencyObject parent, string childName)
where T : DependencyObject
{
// Confirm parent and childName are valid.
if (parent == null) return null;
T foundChild = null;
int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
// If the child is not of the request child type child
T childType = child as T;
if (childType == null)
{
// recursively drill down the tree
foundChild = FindChild<T>(child, childName);
// If the child is found, break so we do not overwrite the found child.
if (foundChild != null) break;
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(childName))
{
var frameworkElement = child as FrameworkElement;
// If the child's name is set for search
if (frameworkElement != null && frameworkElement.Name == childName)
{
// if the child's name is of the request name
foundChild = (T)child;
break;
}
}
else
{
// child element found.
foundChild = (T)child;
break;
}
}
return foundChild;
}
