WPF - C# Desktop App - good way for layout, xaml

Markus Freitag 3,786

Hello,

sometimes everything is moved, sometimes inexplicably.

Is there a short instruction somewhere, when to take what and how. TextBlock, Stackpanel.

I created this dialog, all at once there were rows and columns in it, then the layout was no longer correct.
Do you have a good procedure?

Hi Markus,
I recommend first having a style guide developed by a designer and only then starting with the design of the UI.

Yes, for simple things I have to do it myself. How do you do that, take a StackPanel, Grid. In some cases it is not clear where the zero point is and which coordinates. Then it is anchored. How do you do that Can you understand that?

It is not a good idea for you to directly use Margin to layout your layout, because Margin is positioned according to precise pixels, which is more suitable for layout adjustment. The four Numbers in Margin ="left,top,right,bottom". You should design your page layout well. I reorganized your XAML code based on the layout.
Here is my code for your layout:

OK,
Can you explain something else?
Why do you use 3 rows, 3 columns with * and once with 3 *

The backgrounds. Thanks.

I'm sorry to ask again.
It's strange.

I would like to have the YES button on the left and the No button on the right. Then quite easy to position. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Markus,
use Grid and dock on bottom:

<Grid VerticalAlignment="Bottom"> <Button Content="Ja" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="50" Margin="5"/> <Button Content="Nein" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="50" Margin="5"/> </Grid>

Hi Markus,
to use different margins is not good idea. If you must change design in detail you can get many problems. The best way is to use margin only in styles.

Thanks for this tip!

I think that was my problem too. I couldn't see the relation.

As soon as I select, the margins are back in.
I want to place the controls from the upper left corner. How must the grid be configured?

Hi Markus,
you had accept answer. Where is your problem?

The problem is, I did everything you said. Sounded right.
Margin global.
I correct the position slightly, immediately the margin is back in the button element.

It's just this?

I try it Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top.
I try that Grid VerticalAlignment="Bottom">

Like I said, your way sounded so good, but it doesn't work.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Can I deactivate the margin?

The picture and the rectangle is different, the height, but only in running mode, however.
The goal is.
