This tutorial will explain you learn how to add controls to a WPF application through the code-behind file.
Lets create new WPF application and name it “WPFAddControlDemo” and replace Grid element with the below code in the MainWindow.xaml file.
<Window x:Class="WPFAddControlDemo.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid Name="myGrid"> </Grid> </Window>
In above code, you can see we have apply the name of the Grid control to myGrid. The controls will be added to the Grid control from your code-behind file. Therefore, open the MainWindow.xaml.cs file and add code shown in below code.
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace WPFAddControlDemo
{
///
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
Label myLabel = new Label();
myLabel.Content = "Enter your Name: ";
myGrid.Children.Add(myLabel);
TextBox myTextBox = new TextBox();
myTextBox.Margin = new Thickness(0, 10, 20, 0);
myTextBox.Height = 30;
myTextBox.Width = 150;
myTextBox.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
myTextBox.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;
myGrid.Children.Add(myTextBox);
Button myButton = new Button();
myButton.Content = "Submit";
myButton.Height = 50;
myButton.Width = 75;
myGrid.Children.Add(myButton);
}
}
}
After adding the controls and setting their properties, as shown in above code. Now, run the application by pressing the F5 key. The output will be:
