Question

I am new to MVVM and need help on below scenario.

I have a Stack panel added on my view, now I have to add few controls dynamically to this stack panel through viewmodel. For this I need a handle of stack panel in my viewmodel. Can anybody please guide me how I can access stack panel in my viewmodel.

I read in other bloges that it can be done by using Dependency property. but still I am not able to find way to solve this issue.

Thanks All for your help, Here I solved the problem

In view model I have created ObservableCollection of FrameWorkElement type, which can hold any other controls which will be decided at runtime. Control can be a text box or button.

 Public  ObservableCollection < FrameWorkElement > Test
 {
        get{....} set{...}
 }

Now I can add/set any other control to Test

 Tets.Add(new TextBox()); Or Button , this will be decided at runtime.

Now bind this “Test” to ItemsControl.

 <ItemsControl x:Name="itemsControl" ItemsSource={Biding Test}>
 </ItemsControl>
