控制焦点面板

Question

I am working on a multi-lingual WPF app. The user must provide input for multiple languages at same time. This works but it also moves fields below it.

What I am looking for is somewhat like this:

What I have done so far is below:

    <Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"  Content="Field1" Padding="0" Style="{DynamicResource ControlLabel}"/>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Content=":" Style="{DynamicResource ControlLabelMiddle}"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" Margin="3"  Style="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
    <TextBox x:Name="txtField1" Height="23" GotKeyboardFocus="txtField1_GotKeyboardFocus" />
    <Grid Background="White" x:Name="pnlField1" Visibility="Collapsed" Panel.ZIndex="99">
        <Border BorderBrush="blue" BorderThickness="3">
        <StackPanel Background="White" Margin="5">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
            <Label Content="Language2" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
            <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right" FontSize="10" Padding="2" >
                <Hyperlink Hyperlink.Click="btnClose_Click" x:Name="btnClose" >X</Hyperlink>
                </TextBlock>
            </StackPanel>
            <TextBox x:Name="txtField_Second" Height="23" Width="280" />
        </StackPanel>
        </Border>
    </Grid>
</StackPanel>

When the above control gets focus, my second language panel comes up. But it moves my next row controls down and doesn't look good.

To keep the panels from moving, try placing them in a Grid , rather than a StackPanel . This enables you to specifically define where each element is placed in the Grid . In a StackPanel , elements "stack" on top of each other. As contents of the panels change, the amount of space each element takes up in the "stack" also has the potential to change.
