i built a control template, with two buttons, which i use in the MainWindow Class:
The ControlTemplate:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="LeftPanelTemplate">
<Grid Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="10,15,5,5" >
<Border BorderThickness="7" CornerRadius="4">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#73B2F5" Opacity="0.5"/>
</Border.BorderBrush>
<Grid>
<Grid.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#73B2F5" Opacity="0.5"/>
</Grid.Background>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button Name="CustomerButton" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Width="40" Height="40" Content="Customer" Click="CustTabButton_Click" ></Button>
<Button Name="BossButton" Grid.Row="1" Width="40" Height="40" Content="Boss" Margin="23,206,23,114" Click="BossTabButton_Click"></Button>
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
I reference it at the MainWindow XAML:
<ContentControl Template="{StaticResource LeftPanelTemplate}"/>
i get an error that the click events of the two buttons inside the control template could not be found - because i moved it to the ResourceDirectory file called MainWindowResources.xaml:
'MyWPFApp.MainWindowResource' does not contain a definition for 'CustTabButton_Click' and no extension method 'CustTabButton_Click' accepting a first argument of type 'MyWPFApp.MainWindowResource' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
i found this link: Is it possible to set code behind a resource dictionary in WPF for event handling?
is there a shorter way for the click events in the MainWindow code behind to be executed from the resource Directory? because moving the whole code from the MainWindow to a REsourceDirectory.xaml.code can take alot of time and expose to public alot of variables.
