Here is, roughly, what I'm trying to achieve:
The green part is fixed.
Cells in the orange (or pink?) part are editable.
Cells in the blue part are also editable.
The [add fridge]
button adds another column.
Now the tricky part:
The blue+green parts should, together, be scrollable vertically.
The blue+orange parts should, together, be scrollable horizontally.
(the dark red thingies represent scrollbars)
One can see the logic behind this: I must be able to edit product quantities for any (reasonable) number of fridges and products, even if they don't all fit on the screen. But I must never scroll either fridge names or product names out of sight.
I would like to accomplish this layout solely in XAML, with bindings (an ObservableCollection<Fridge>
immediately jumps to mind). Writing custom converters also would be acceptable. The main point is to avoid creating/managing UI elements programmatically.
A few considerations from my previous thoughts and experiments:
Can't use
Grid
, since it can't autogenerate columns from sequenceA series of nested
ItemsControl
s could work, but then I run into the problem of aligning items from different sequences (i.e. blue cells with either orange or green ones - depending on the direction of nesting) - see my other question.Bonus points for resizing the fridge columns. So far I've only managed to find
GridSplitter
, but it only works with grid.
