WPF A good way to make a view/edit control?
- by Jefim
Hi, this is just a question to discuss - what is the best way to make a view/edit control in WPF? E.g. we have an entity object Person, that has some props (name, surname, address, phone etc.). One presentation of the control would be a read-only view. And the other would have the edit view for this same person. Example:
<UserControl x:Name="MyPersonEditor">
<Grid>
<Grid x:Name="ViewGrid" Visibility="Visible">
<TextBlock Text="Name:"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Person.Name}"/>
<Button Content="Edit" Click="ButtonEditStart_Click"/>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="EditGrid" Visibility="Collapsed">
<TextBlock Text="Name:"/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Person.Name}"/>
<Button Content="Save" Click="ButtonEditEnd_Click"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
I hope that the idea is clear. The two options I see right now
two grids with visibility switching and
a TabControl without its header panel
This is just a discussion question - not much trouble with it, yet I am just wondering if there are any other possibilities and elegant solutions to this.
