Issue with setting the margin on several WPF controls
-
Ok, So I'm trying to programatically set the left margin on three controls, a textblock named "Clock", a StackPanel named "TasksIcos", and a button named "Options". This is the code I'm using:
TasksIcos.Margin = New Thickness(TasksIcos.Margin.Left + 32, TasksIcos.Margin.Top, TasksIcos.Margin.Right, TasksIcos.Margin.Bottom) Options.Margin = New Thickness(-MiniModePanel.Width + 43, Options.Margin.Top, Options.Margin.Right, Options.Margin.Bottom) Clock.Margin = New Thickness(Clock.Margin.Left + 43, 0, -7, 0)The only one that moves any at all, is "Options". The other two do not move regardless of what the values are entered. Can a WPF guru tell me what I'm doing wrong here? -

Is it null? If so, that is your problem. Step through your code and see what is actually getting created.

TasksIcos.Margin.Left = -192 at runtime and in blend.

Can you post the XAML that these controls are in? This will help me get context so I can create my own test application. BTW: When does this above code run? Can you please post the entire method that these assingments run in.

Actually, I figured out not 10 mins after my last post. It seemed to be something with the animation that plays right before any of the actual code is run. I re-did the animation after screwing it up doing something else, and everything seemed to start moving when it supposed to. Thanks for your help though, and I apologize if I wasted your time.

Glad you got it all working!
