In this window, I've chosen to design the form with DockPanel and StackPanel components. Here's the WPF code:
<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Trip Planner"
Height="320" Width="440"
FontFamily="Forte" FontSize="18" FontStyle="Normal"
WindowStyle="ThreeDBorderWindow"
Icon="EARTH.ICO">
<DockPanel VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="400">
<StackPanel Height="230"
DockPanel.Dock="Top" >
<Label Name="TripNameDisplay"
Height="40"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
<ListBox Name="TripDateList"
Height="200"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
FontFamily="Tahoma" />
</StackPanel>
<Button Name="GetTripDesc"
Height="40" DockPanel.Dock="Left"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Width="200">
About This Trip
</Button>
<Button Name="AddADay"
Height="40"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="200">
Add a Day ...
</Button>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
Note that the lowest level child is a ListBox. All the dates in the trip will be displayed there and I can double-click on any individual element to change the information for that date.
And the VB code for this form:
Class MainWindow
Private Sub GetTripDesc_Click( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) _
Handles GetTripDesc.Click
Dim MyTrip As New TripDesc
MyTrip.ShowDialog()
TripInfoRefresh()
End Sub
Private Sub MainWindow_Loaded( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) _
Handles Me.Loaded
TripInfoRefresh()
End Sub
Private Sub AddADay_Click( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) _
Handles AddADay.Click
Dim NewDay As New AddADay
NewDay.Tag = "A" ' AddADay Called Through Click
NewDay.ShowDialog()
TripInfoRefresh()
End Sub
Public Sub TripInfoRefresh()
Dim TripInformation = XDocument.Load("TripInfo.xml")
Dim theTripDates = TripInformation...<TripDate>
TripDateList.Items.Clear()
For Each Item In theTripDates
TripDateList.Items.Add(Item.Value)
Next
TripNameDisplay.Content = _
TripInformation...<TripName>.Value
End Sub
Private Sub TripDateList_MouseDoubleClick( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs) _
Handles TripDateList.MouseDoubleClick
Dim NewDay As New AddADay
NewDay.Tag = TripDateList.SelectedItem
NewDay.ShowDialog()
TripInfoRefresh()
End Sub
End Class
