I need to show some data in a structured way with colored letters and rows with background colors.
I made a grid in a WPF Window. It shows the textboxes and some of the labels, but none of the text. Also the column header, last column, gridseperators, grid bot and left edges are invisible.
My grid is called propertiesView.
Code for adding header elements (labels)
private void AddHeaderElement(string text, int row, int col)
{
Label headerElement = new Label();
headerElement.Height = cellHeight;
headerElement.Width = cellWidth;
headerElement.DataContext = text;
headerElement.Background = headerBackground;
headerElement.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(120, 120, 120));
headerElement.BorderThickness = new Thickness(3);
propertiesView.Children.Add(headerElement);
Grid.SetRow(headerElement, row);
Grid.SetColumn(headerElement, col);
}
Code for adding cells
RichTextBox cell = new RichTextBox();
cell.Height = cellHeight;
cell.Width = cellWidth;
cell.ToolTip = toolTip;
cell.DataContext = text;
cell.Background = rowDifferent;
propertiesView.Children.Add(cell);
//box.SetValue(Grid.RowProperty, rowCount);
//box.SetValue(Grid.ColumnProperty, columnCount);
Grid.SetRow(cell, rowCount);
Grid.SetColumn(cell, columnCount);
Code for adding grid seperators
GridSplitter colSeperator = new GridSplitter();
colSeperator.Margin = new Thickness(-2.5, 0, 0, 0);
colSeperator.Width = 5;
colSeperator.ResizeDirection = GridResizeDirection.Columns;
colSeperator.ResizeBehavior = GridResizeBehavior.CurrentAndNext;
colSeperator.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Stretch;
colSeperator.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
propertiesView.Children.Add(colSeperator);
Grid.SetColumn(colSeperator, 0);
Grid.SetRowSpan(colSeperator, totalRows + 1);
The tooltips do show the right text. I tried using TextBox instead of RichTextBox and setting all this stuff in the class constructor instead of a seperate method.
