In my WPF application I have a ResourceDictionary
with some Controls:
<ResourceDictionary>
<Border x:Key="SystemBorder">
<!-- SomeContent -->
</Border>
<Border x:Key="DateBorder">
<!-- SomeContent -->
</Border>
<Button x:Key="QuitButton">
<!-- SomeContent -->
</Button>
</ResourceDictionary>
Now in my Window I have a TabControl
with some TabItem
, inside of every TabItem that Controls are in use.
But when I change Tabs everything is fine, but when I change back to a Tab, these Controls won't be there.
I tried to use x:Shared="False"
but it made no difference.
How can I solve that problem?
Edit:
Every TabItem has the same structure:
<TabItem>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions/>
<!-- Defs -->
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions/>
<!-- Defs -->
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>
<Border x:Name="Menu1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
<ContentControl x:Name="Date1" Content="{DynamicResource DateBorder}">
<!-- some Buttons -->
<ContentControl x:Name="QuitButton1" Content="{DynamicResource QuitButton}"/>
</Border>
<!-- some more Borders -->
<ContentControl x:Name="SystemBorder1" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Content="{DynamicResource SystemBorder}"/>
</TabItem>
The DateBorder also have a Thread which updates the Date every second.
I found a Workaround with Code behind, so I'll share it with you:
C#:
private void TabControl_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs)
{
for(int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
FindName("Date" + i).Content = null;
FindName("QuitButton" + i).Content = null;
FindName("SystemBorder" + i).Content = null;
}
var tc = (TabControl) sender;
var index = tc.SelectedIndex + 1;
FindName("Date" + index).Content = FindResource("DateBorder");
FindName("QuitButton" + index).Content = FindResource("QuitButton");
FindName("SystemBorder" + index).Content = FindResource("SystemBorder");
}
VB:
Private Sub TabControl_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As SelectionChangedEventArgs)
For i = 1 To 3
FindName("Date" & i).Content = Nothing
FindName("QuitButton" & i).Content = Nothing
FindName("SystemBorder" & i).Content = Nothing
Next
Dim tc = CType(sender, TabControl)
Dim index = tc.SelectedIndex + 1
FindName("Date" & index).Content = FindResource("DateBorder")
FindName("QuitButton" & index).Content = FindResource("QuitButton")
FindName("SystemBorder" & index).Content = FindResource("SystemBorder")
End Sub
