I know how to set the corner radius of a button in XAML.
However, I need to set the corner radius of buttons that are created programmatically (dynamic buttons), during runtime. Here's a code example:
Dim pt As Thickness
Dim mySolidColorBrush As SolidColorBrush = New SolidColorBrush()
mySolidColorBrush = CType((New BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#005EB8")), SolidColorBrush)
pt.Top = 95
If howMany > 0 Then
For i = 0 To howMany - 1
Buttons(i) = New Button With {
.Tag = i,
.Margin = New Thickness(5, 5, 5, 0),
.Width = 120,
.Height = 60,
.Foreground = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.White),
.Background = mySolidColorBrush,
.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left,
.FontSize = 16,
.Content = btnName(i)
}
AddHandler Buttons(i).Click, AddressOf ButtonClickDyna
PNL_Main.Children.Add(Buttons(i))
pt.Top += 45
Next
End If
I was not able to find such information on the internet and have been going through the properties of a button one by one, sadly with no success.
Any help will be much appreciated as I am still a newbie.
Similar to the linked XAML based solution, I suggest you utilize styles when you create your dynamic buttons. Suppose you create some named resource styles in your window
€dit: in my first version I defined a separate named style for the Border
, but as @ASh mentioned, the Border
style can be nested within the Button
style.
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="MyButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="5"/>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5 5 5 0"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="120"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="60"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#005EB8"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
Then you can assign the MyButtonStyle
to each created button.
The following code is in C#, but you should be able to create the equivalent VB code
private void Initializer_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var buttonStyle = (Style) FindResource("MyButtonStyle");
for (int i = 1; i <= 2; i++)
{
ButtonsContainer.Children.Add(new Button
{
Content = $"Button {i}",
Style = buttonStyle
});
}
}
Usage example, where the "Initializer" Button dynamically creates two more buttons:
<Grid>
<StackPanel Name="ButtonsContainer" Orientation="Horizontal"
VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<Button Content="Initializer"
Style="{StaticResource MyButtonStyle}"
VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Click="Initializer_OnClick"/>
</Grid>
