I have the below XAML and it does not do what I expect it to do.
<StackPanel Background="{Binding EwsColour}" Visibility="{Binding EwsVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text="EWS" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontWeight="SemiBold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="18" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="100" />
</StackPanel>
I end up with this
I don't understand why the TextBlock that has 18 in, is growing bigger then then StackPanel. Can anyone tell me why?
After seeing Chris W''s comment I checked the Style in generic.xaml.
<Style x:Key="SubheaderTextBlockStyle" TargetType="TextBlock" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="26.667"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Light"/>
<Setter Property="LineHeight" Value="30"/>
</Style>
I had no idea that there was a LineHeight property. Overriding it so that its the same as the font size (or bigger actually creates a better UX) stops this from happening.
<StackPanel Background="{Binding EwsColour}" Visibility="{Binding EwsVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text="EWS" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontWeight="SemiBold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="18" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="100" LineHeight="110" />
</StackPanel>

I have several ContentDialogs in a RelativeLayout and want them to appear or have the the vertical alignment to "bottom". But it seems that no matter what I try the dialogs always appear on the top of the screen.
This is how they look now
Any ideas?
Here is a xaml code snippet:
<RelativePanel Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=Page}" >
<ContentDialog x:Name="EntrepriseDialog"

It seems the positioning of ContentDialog instances is not in the hands of the developer, at least not without custom versions of it. Afaik the OS will decide where to place the dialog for you.
See here for more information:
http://www.reflectionit.nl/blog/2015/windows-10-xaml-tips-messagedialog-and-contentdialog
So if positioning of the dialog is critical then you might have to create a custom control.
I currently have the following xaml code to display a list of channels on the left of my interface when a button is clicked:
<Button Content="Channels" Margin="10,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="109">
<Button.Flyout>
<Flyout Placement="Left">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="Channels"
FontSize="45.333" FontFamily="Segoe WP Light"
TextWrapping="Wrap" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="48" Width="200" FontWeight="Light" OpticalMarginAlignment="TrimSideBearings" TextReadingOrder="DetectFromContent"/>
<ScrollViewer Margin="0,53,0,54" ZoomMode="Disabled">
<ListView Margin ="10,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Channels}" Width="189" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ChannelTemplate}" x:Name="channelListView" IsTapEnabled="False" IsRightTapEnabled="False" IsHoldingEnabled="False" IsDoubleTapEnabled="False" Height="715"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
<Flyout.FlyoutPresenterStyle>
<Style TargetType="FlyoutPresenter">
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.ZoomMode" Value="Disabled"/>
<Setter Property="MaxWidth" Value="200"/>
</Style>
</Flyout.FlyoutPresenterStyle>
</Flyout>
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>
Here's a screenshot:
However, When trying to use similar code for a list of users on the right of the interface, the users list does not appear on the right - it is on the left instead:
<Button Content="Users" Margin="281,0,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="58">
<Button.Flyout>
<Flyout Placement="Right">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="Users"

<ScrollViewer Margin="0,53,0,54" ZoomMode="Disabled">
<ListView Margin ="10,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Channels}" Width="189" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ChannelTemplate}" x:Name="usersListView" IsTapEnabled="False" IsRightTapEnabled="False" IsHoldingEnabled="False" IsDoubleTapEnabled="False" Height="715"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
<Flyout.FlyoutPresenterStyle>
<Style TargetType="FlyoutPresenter">
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.ZoomMode" Value="Disabled"/>
<Setter Property="MaxWidth" Value="200"/>
</Style>
</Flyout.FlyoutPresenterStyle>
</Flyout>
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>

Is there something I need to do other than <Flyout Placement="Right">? If so, what?
First to explain what I am doing here, I want to create a page that list a large number of grouped objects. Selecting an object binds that information to a display on the left. Everything works fine till I change the MainStack Orientation to Horizontal. Once that is changed the page no longer loads. No errors are thrown. When stepping through the process the code behind steps through as it should.
I know its the XAML but am baffled by the cause. It works fine under two circumstances.
If I drop the mainstack stack panel and instead make the display group the header of the GridView it works.
If I put the MainStack orientation to Vertical it loads fine.
Here is the code that does not load:
<StackPanel Name="MainStack" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="2" >
<StackPanel Name="Stack" Width="480" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Nname}" Margin="0,0,0,20" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" MaxHeight="60"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Nset}" Margin="0,0,0,20" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" MaxHeight="60"/>
<Image Source="{Binding url}" Height="Auto" Margin="0,0,102,55" Stretch="UniformToFill" AutomationProperties.Name="{Binding Title}"/>
<ScrollViewer Margin="0,0,0,0" MaxHeight="200">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Nruling}" Margin="0,0,0,0" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}"/>

I would like to format a textblock which is bound to a value, to show "R" before the actual value, is this possible, cause I cannot directly change the value?
Thank you
<ListBox x:Name="lstbundleListbox"
Foreground="White"
Height="320"
HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="Center" />
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding name}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding cost}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
So I basically want the textblock to show R(cost)
use Run
<TextBlock>
<Run Text="R" />
<Run Text="{Binding cost}" />
</TextBlock>
or use StringFormat
<TextBlock Text="{Binding cost, StringFormat=R{0}}" />
i think this can be done by
<StackPanel Orientation Horizontal>
<TextBlock Text="R(" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding cost}"/>
<TextBlock Text=")" />
</StackPanel>
distance between them can be set by setting padding of the textblocks...
I've got this bit of code in my page.xaml
<TextBox x:Name="NameTextField" Grid.ColumnSpan="7" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle}" />
It refers to this style:
<Style x:Key="TextBoxStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid x:Name="grid" Height="55" Background="White">
<Rectangle Stroke="#FFD9D9D9" StrokeThickness="6"/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenterText" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="6,0" Height="42" >
<TextBox Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" FontSize="21.333" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="Bold"/>
</ContentPresenter>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This works ok when pre-populating data from the bind but does not seem to work the other way, when data is entered.
Is there something obvious I'm missing here?
Many thanks
Try changing:
<TextBox Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" FontSize="21.333" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="Bold"/>
to:
<TextBox Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Mode=TwoWay, Path=Text}" FontSize="21.333" FontFamily="Arial" FontWeight="Bold"/>
TemplateBinding seems to default to a one-way bind.
