WPF Button with multiple text elements

Anonymous User 2180 04-Sep-2013

I am trying to create buttons for a 10-foot GUI using WPF. Each button requires a little more data than just a single text string and an image, maybe 2-3 strings located in different positions and some imagery.

I have tried

 <Button
Height="52" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Name="button1" 
Width="407">
       
<Button.Content>
        <DockPanel
LastChildFill="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
            <TextBlock
Name="textBloczk2" Text="ABC"
TextAlignment="Left"  
DockPanel.Dock="Left"/>
           
<TextBlock Name="textBlxock1" Text="CDE"
TextAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
       
</DockPanel>
       
</Button.Content>
    </Button>

But no matter which inner container I use, the button seems to disregard the layout from the DockPanel and the combined text ends up in the middle of the button. Am I doing something wrong or should I be using a different outer container ?

Hi Ashish,

The problem seems to be that the DockPanel's width is so small that the Right and Left panels are the same width as your TextBlocks.

This seems to work as expected (setting the width of the DockPanel):

    <Button Height="52" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="button1"  Width="407">
        <Button.Content>
            <DockPanel LastChildFill="True" Width="300">
                <TextBlock Name="textBloczk1" Text="Left" DockPanel.Dock="Left" />
                <TextBlock Name="textBlxock2" Text="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
                <TextBlock Name="textBlxock3" Text="Top" DockPanel.Dock="Top" />
                <TextBlock Name="textBlxock4" Text="Bottom" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" />
            </DockPanel>
        </Button.Content>
    </Button>
