My problem is that I'm trying to do a toolbox for the user so he can create radio buttons, combo box, etc and then those created elements be able to drag and drop inside a canvas or whatever.
Actually I can manage drag and drop from a element previously created by me, now the problem comes when the user creates an element, I'm having problem assigning the events dynamically to handle drag and drop.
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Canvas Height="190" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="158,41,0,0" Name="canvas1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="322" AllowDrop="True">
<Button Content="PROBANDO" Height="23" Name="button" Width="75" Canvas.Left="113" Canvas.Top="43" PreviewMouseDown="button_PreviewMouseDown" PreviewMouseMove="button_PreviewMouseMove" MouseUp="button_MouseUp" IsEnabled="True" />
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="99" Canvas.Top="147" Height="23" Name="textBlock" Text="" Width="107" />
</Canvas>
<ListBox Height="190" Name="listBox" Width="126" Margin="12,41,365,80" >
<ListBoxItem Content="Radio Button" Selected="radio_Selected" Name="radio" />
<ListBoxItem Content="Text" Selected="text_Selected" Name="text" />
<ListBoxItem Content="Combo Box" Name="combo" Selected="combo_Selected" />
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
Point p;
private void button_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
button.ReleaseMouseCapture();
}
private void button_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
button.CaptureMouse();
p = e.GetPosition(canvas1);
}
private void button_PreviewMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Point x = e.GetPosition(canvas1);
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
Canvas.SetLeft(button, Canvas.GetLeft(button) + (x.X - p.X));
Canvas.SetTop(button, Canvas.GetTop(button) + (x.Y - p.Y));
}
p = x;
}
// Generic event to handle drag and drop on a new UIElement creadted by user
private void generic_PreviewMouseDown(UIElement sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
Point x = e.GetPosition(canvas1);
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
Canvas.SetLeft(sender, Canvas.GetLeft(sender) + (x.X - p.X));
Canvas.SetTop(sender, Canvas.GetTop(sender) + (x.Y - p.Y));
}
p = x;
}
// Creates a new radio button and assign the events to handle drag and drop
private void radio_Selected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
RadioButton newRadio = new RadioButton();
canvas1.Children.Add(newRadio);
newRadio.PreviewMouseDown += generic_PreviewMouseDown(newRadio, MouseEventArgs);
textBlock.Text = listBox.SelectedIndex.ToString();
}
private void text_Selected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox newText = new TextBox();
canvas1.Children.Add(newText);
textBlock.Text = (String)listBox.SelectedIndex.ToString();
}
private void combo_Selected(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Console.Write("Combo");
textBlock.Text = (String)listBox.SelectedIndex.ToString();
}
}
My toolbox is the listbox so when the user select an item it creates the UI element.
I'll appreciate any help. Thank you in advance and sorry about my English!
