WPF: Custom control that binds its content to a label
- by nialsh
I want to write a custom control that's used like this:
<HorizontalTick>Some string</HorizontalTick>
It should render like this:
-- Some string -------------------------------------------
Here's my code:
<UserControl x:Class="WeatherDownloadDisplay.View.HorizontalTick"
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" d:DesignWidth="348"
Name="controlRoot">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<UserControl VerticalAlignment="Center" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Width="10"/>
<Label Content="???" />
<UserControl VerticalAlignment="Center" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1"/>
</DockPanel>
It works except for the label binding. Can someone help me fill in the question marks? I thought about using a ContentPresenter but it seems like an inline binding would be best.
