Accessing Control in UserControl

03-27-2009 3:21 PM |

Hello,

 i have created an UserControl:

<UserControl
	xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
	xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
	xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
	xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
	mc:Ignorable="d"
	x:Class="Main.shadow"
	d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480" x:Name="MyShadow">
   
       
    <Border CornerRadius="13" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#19000000" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
    <Border CornerRadius="12" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#33000000" >
        <Border CornerRadius="11" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#66000000">
	        <Border CornerRadius="11" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#99000000">
               <Border CornerRadius="10" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#FF000000">
	               <Border CornerRadius="10" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" BorderBrush="#FF000000"  x:Name="myBorder" Background="{StaticResource MyBackground}">
		              <Canvas Width="150" Height="150">
                      </Canvas>
                   </Border>
                 </Border>
            </Border>
        </Border>
    </Border>
    </Border>
           
    
</UserControl>

When i reuse this UserControl, how can i access and add items to the containing Canvas?

Like that:

 <Main:shadow Height="131" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="100,115,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="158"

    ...add some controls here

</Main:shadow

if you need to reuse user control you can use styles

Give canvas x:Name. If you call canvas "myCanvas" then you can do this: myControl.myCanvas.Children.Add(something);

I see. In that case you can't use UserControl. You should derive your control from ContentControl.
