Adding dynamic text boxes in windows store app 8.1 using xaml c#

Question

TextBox x = new TextBox();
x.Height = 30;
x.Width = 200;
x.Name = "Title";
x.Text = item.Title;
x.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;

x.FontSize = 60;

StackPanel s = new StackPanel();
s.Children.Add(x);

I have placed this code inside a function called private async void Getnotes(); and im calling this function from the constructor after this.InitializeComponent();

But when i run the app, text boxes are not getting added . what could be the problem?

Answer 1

You need to add the stackpanel to the window

window.AddChild(s);

You need to pass the window to your function.

Answer 2

by default wpf app has a non named grid. name it "MyMainGrid".

and then you can add ether your stack panel.

MyMainGrid.Children.Add(s);

or directly add textbox to grid.

MyMainGrid.Children.Add(X);
