I need to implement this drop-down menu in WPF:
When you click on the number of the question, it should open additional content. I can't attach the code, because there is not even an approximate implementation. I tried to implement via Grid.Row and Grid.Column, ListBox, StackPanel but I just didn't have enough knowledge.
Here is the code I've tried:
<Grid>
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Left">
<Button Content="1"/>
<TextBlock Text="Content"/>
<Button Content="2"/>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
CodePudding user response：
Step 1: Add a User Control to your project.
Step 2: Name it Arrow.
Step 3: This Control will act as a drop-down arrow for us. Add the following XAML code to the control:
<UserControl x:Class="Question_Builder_App.Controls.Arrow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid>
<Border BorderThickness="0,0,5,0" Height="15" BorderBrush="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Width="10" Margin="0,0,0,10">
<Border.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform/>
<SkewTransform/>
<RotateTransform Angle="135"/>
<TranslateTransform/>
</TransformGroup>
</Border.RenderTransform>
</Border>
<Border BorderThickness="0,0,5,0" BorderBrush="Black" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Height="15" Width="10" Margin="0,11,0,0" Grid.RowSpan="2">
<Border.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform/>
<SkewTransform/>
<RotateTransform Angle="225"/>
<TranslateTransform/>
</TransformGroup>
</Border.RenderTransform>
</Border>
</Grid>
The control should look like this:
Step 4: Add the following XAML to your MainWindow:
<Window x:Class="Question_Builder_App.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800" Background="#FF283246">
<Grid x:Name="MainGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel x:Name="LeftPanel" Grid.Column="0">
<Border CornerRadius="10,10,10,10" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="#FF033B50" Margin="50,20,50,0">
<Button x:Name="AddQuestion_BTN" FontSize="24" Content=" " HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" Padding="10,0,10,0" Click="AddQuestion_BTN_Click" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
<Frame x:Name="RightPanel" Grid.Column="1" NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden"/>
</Grid>
The designer should look like this:
Step 5: Now lets add some C# codes to our MainWindow:

using System.Windows.Media;
