Let's say that I have a simple layout such as this:
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ShortDescription}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LongDescription}" />
</StackPanel>
Now when I have ShortDescription set to null or empty string there's still a gap in place of second TextBlock. Is there some property to prevent an empty textblock from occupying space? Or should I use some other control?
Thanks.
You want to set the visibility of the textbox to "Collapsed".
Visibility can be either:
Visible - Self explanatory
Hidden - Invisible but still takes up space
Collapsed - Invisible and takes up no space
Edit: You should probably set up a trigger, like so:
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
You may want to try this:
<TextBlock.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBlock.Style>
This should fix the empty space issue based on a Null / Empty Binding.
