You can easily create a C1Book control at design time in XAML and in Code.
If you create a
C1Book control as in the following steps, it will appear as an empty container. You will need to add items to the control for it to appear as a book at run time. For an example, see
Adding Items to a Book.
In XAML
To create a C1Book control using XAML markup, complete the following steps:
- In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click the References folder in the project files list. In the context menu choose Add Reference, select UWP Edition, and click OK.
- Place your cursor between the <Grid> and </Grid> tags. Double-click the C1Book control in the Visual Studio Toolbox to add it to your application. This will also add the following namespace to the <Page> tag:
| Markup |
Copy Code
|
xmlns:Extended="using:C1.Xaml.Extended"
|
- Add the following to the <Extended: C1Book> tag:
- Name="c1book1"
- Height="300"
- Width="450"
This markup will create an empty C1Book control named "c1book1" and set the control's size.
In Code
To create a C1Book control in code, complete the following steps:
- In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, right-click the References folder in the project files list. In the context menu choose Add Reference, select UWP Edition, and click OK.
- In the MainPage.xaml window, place your cursor within the <Grid> tag and add the following:
- Right-click within the MainPage.xaml window and select View Code to switch to Code view.
- Add the following import statements to the top of the page:
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
Imports C1.Xaml.Extended
|
| C# |
Copy Code
|
using C1.Xaml.Extended;
|
- Add code to the page's constructor to create the C1Book control. It will look similar to the following:
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
Dim c1book1 as New C1Book
c1book1.Height = 300
c1book1.Width = 450
Grid1.Children.Add(c1book1)
End Sub
|
| C# |
Copy Code
|
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
C1Book c1book1 = new C1Book();
c1book1.Height = 300;
c1book1.Width = 450;
Grid1.Children.Add(c1book1);
}
|
This code will create an empty C1Book control named "c1book1", set the control's size, and add the control to the page.
