I'm new to WPF. I was able to found out how to do a resizable vertical expander from here: Combine expander and grid (resizable expander)
So I thought making a horizontal would be easy, I have tried different ways with no success.
Can it be done without complex code? To have a glidsplitter between 2 grid rows which one of them has an expander
The layout looks like this:
Left expander/gridsplitter works fine. But the expander/gridsplitter at the bottom does not. It works fine without a gridsplitter though.
My XAML:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="10" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<DockPanel Grid.Row="0">
<Expander ExpandDirection="Left" Header="">
<Expander.Content>
<Grid>
<!-- this works -->
</Grid>
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" />
</DockPanel>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="10" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndCurrent" ResizeDirection="Rows"/>
<DockPanel Grid.Row="2">
<Expander ExpandDirection="Down" Header="Summary">
<Expander.Content>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" />
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
</DockPanel>
</Grid>
If you remove the middle row and the gridsplitter, it works fine but it's not resizable.
Any help is appreciated.
The 3rd rows height should also be proportional. Specify MinHeight
for the first and bottom rows so that they don't completely shrink.
Edited XAML:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="6*" MinHeight="100"/>
<RowDefinition Height="10" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" MinHeight="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<DockPanel Grid.Row="0">
<Expander ExpandDirection="Left" Header="">
<Expander.Content>
<Grid>
<!-- this works -->
</Grid>
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" />
</DockPanel>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<DockPanel Grid.Row="2">
<Expander ExpandDirection="Down" Header="Summary">
<Expander.Content>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" />
</Expander.Content>
</Expander>
</DockPanel>
</Grid>
The following works for me. The GridSplitter
is shown when expanded and hidden when collapsed.
I use ellipses that fill the panes in the example, because that makes it easy to see how much space is taken by each panel.
<Grid Background="Green">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" Name="expanderRow"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Ellipse Grid.Row="0" Fill="Black"></Ellipse>
<Expander Grid.Row="2" ExpandDirection="Up" IsExpanded="False" Background="Yellow"
Expanded="Expander_Expanded"
Collapsed="Expander_Collapsed">
<Ellipse Fill="Red"/>
</Expander>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="15" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="expander" Visibility="Collapsed"></GridSplitter>
</Grid>
private GridLength expandedHeight = new GridLength(0.5, GridUnitType.Star);
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Expander_Expanded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
expanderRow.Height = expandedHeight;
expander.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
private void Expander_Collapsed(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
expandedHeight = expanderRow.Height;
expanderRow.Height = GridLength.Auto;
expander.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
