Overview of Panels in WPF

In this blog you will learn Overview of Panels in WPF.

Step 1: Create an empty WPF using Visual Studio, enter the name for the application and click on OK



Step 2: Add elements with help of Stackpanel.

Code:

<StackPanel Margin="-10,0,9.667,-0.333">
    <Button Name="Hi" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
    <Button Name="hw" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
    <Button Name="r" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
    <Button Name="u" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
</StackPanel>

Code of Mainwindow.xaml:

<Window x:Class="Panels_WPF.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel Margin="-10,0,9.667,-0.333">
            <Button Name="Hi" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="hw" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="r" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="u" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Step 3: Add a new window by right clicking on the solution name and name it as Wrapapnel.xaml for Wrappanel

Code of Wrappanel.xaml:

<Window x:Class="Panels_WPF.Wrappanel" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Wrappanel" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <WrapPanel>
            <Button Name="Hi" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="hw" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="r" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="u" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />

        </WrapPanel>

    </Grid>
</Window>

The window will be as such for wrappanel,



Step 4: Now make the button at Mainwindow.xaml for Wrappanel to open this window using the following code:

Double click on Wrap panel button and write the following code at Mainwindow.xaml.cs

Wrappanel p = newWrappanel();
p.Show();

Code for mainwindow.xaml.cs:

using System;
usingSystem.Collections.Generic;
usingSystem.Linq;
usingSystem.Text;
usingSystem.Threading.Tasks;
usingSystem.Windows;
usingSystem.Windows.Controls;
usingSystem.Windows.Data;
usingSystem.Windows.Documents;
usingSystem.Windows.Input;
usingSystem.Windows.Media;
usingSystem.Windows.Media.Imaging;
usingSystem.Windows.Navigation;
usingSystem.Windows.Shapes;
namespacePanels_WPF
{
    ///<summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    ///</summary>
    publicpartialclassMainWindow: Window
    {
        publicMainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        privatevoidHi_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Wrappanel p = newWrappanel();
            p.Show();
        }
    }
}

Step 5: Create a new window the same for Dockpanel and place the elements within the grid using. <Dockpanel></DockPanel>.

The code should be as:

<Window x:Class="Panels_WPF.Dockpanel" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Dockpanel" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>

        <DockPanel>
            <Button Name="Hi" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="hw" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="r" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
            <Button Name="u" Margin="45,45,0,0" Content="Name" />
        </DockPanel>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Step 6: Now run the code:
