Similar to the Stackpanel, where I can have controls such as textboxes and buttons as inner-XAML:
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="OK">
<Button Content="Cancel">
<Button Content="Apply">
</StackPanel>
What I need is:
<myControls:myOptionsList>
<Button Content="OK">
<Button Content="Cancel">
<Button Content="Apply">
</myControls:myOptionsList>
Assuming your UserControl has an inner Panel element where the additional elements should be placed, i.e. like this:
<UserControl x:Class="YourNamespace.OptionsControl" ...>
<Grid>
<GroupBox Header="Options">
<StackPanel x:Name="optionsPanel"/>
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
you may simply expose that Panel's Children
property as a UIElementCollection property that is marked to be the ContentProperty
of the UserControl:
[ContentProperty(nameof(Options))]
public partial class OptionsControl : UserControl
{
public UIElementCollection Options
{
get { return optionsPanel.Children; }
}
...
}
