How to use ContentPresenter on Window?
- by mybrokengnome
I've got a ResourceDictionary file that contains a bunch of resources to define elements of my UI. Including one for my DialogWindows, which will just be Windows.
<Style x:Key="DialogWindow" TargetType="{x:Type Window}" >
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="WindowStyle" Value="None" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
<Grid Background="{StaticResource SunkenBackground}">
<StackPanel Margin="20,20,20,20" Background="{StaticResource SunkenBackground}">
<AdornerDecorator>
<ContentPresenter/>
</AdornerDecorator>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
As you can see every DialogWindow should have a grid and a stackpanel, and then the content goes inside there. I've added the file to my App.xaml, and on one of my dialog windows I added Style="{StaticResource DialogWindow}".
So the question is: Now that I have my Template set up for a window, and things are actually styled properly once I've added the StaticResource, what tags do I use to wrap my content in inside of my DialogWindow? I tried wrapping them inside Grid, but that just breaks the layout. If I wrap them inside a StackPanel, they look correct, but then I've got 2 StackPanels and a Grid, when if I didn't include the template I could just have 1 StackPanel and a Grid (I realize I could just take the stackpanel out of the template and do it for every DialogWindow, but that doesn't seem like a good solution).
Thanks!
