Would it be unusual behavior to place Frames inside of Grid Cells? I want to basically do like Blender and be able to Navigate tool pods as Pages. I think this is a great idea. My only concerns are a) it won't work b) I've noticed lifetime issues of Runtime Class objects and I'm declaring Statics to solve these issues; a problem when instantiating multiple non determined units. Is there a more appropriate way to do this? This will be going over a DirectX Surface. I like the idea of using Grid because it would size like Blender, which enforces a logical scaling. I rather not mess around with "floating numbers."
Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Could you specify what problem you encountered, what project it was, and what api was used.
I added the WinUI tag, I don't know where it went. I'm coding from scratch, I have not seen a sample project with Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Frames nested in Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Controls::Grid Cells like so:
<Page
x:Class="Namespace.Class"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Namespace"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid>
<Frame Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"/>
<Frame Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1"/>
<Frame Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
</Page>
I would be adding these programmatically not in Xaml. With this I can do two things. Drag resize the grid, and Navigate Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Pages. Is this proper use of the framework? If I do this, will I just end up waisting my time, because I should have done it some other way?
Is a Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Frame supposed to be restricted to a Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Window? Can a Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Window contain multiple Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Frames . . . more so in cells within a Microsoft::UI::Xaml::Controls::Grid?
You can put anything inside Grid Colums/Rows
But usually, StackPanels are used, like in the MSDN sample at : Tutorial: Use Grid and StackPanel to create a simple weather app
Usually I would use stack panels, but the tool pods are basically static, and would make for a great use of Xaml pages and frame navigation for switching between pods.
I'll take this as a yes, but it will take effort. :)
Each Page would be a stack panel though. Or a canvas.
