Question

I am working on WPF but the UI is localized for the Gujarati language. In my window.xaml I have 2 rows and 2 columns.

I could not get use of the HeaderedContentControl tag. The code is here:

<Border
            Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
            Style="{StaticResource MainBorderStyle}"
            Padding="0"
            BorderThickness="0,0,0,1"
            Background="#f9f9f9">
            <HeaderedContentControl
                VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
                Content="{Binding Path=CurrentWorkspace}"
                Style="{StaticResource MainWorkspaceStyle}"
                ContentTemplate="{StaticResource WorkspaceTemplate}"/>
        </Border>

Please explain it and also explain role of content template.

Answer 1

A HeaderedContentControl is a control that displays other controls, but also provides a header for that (like a GroupBox or window title).

The HeaderedContentControl is bound to a set of data– in this case “CurrentWorkspace”.

The ContentTemplate describes how that data should be displayed. In this particular case, it is something called “WorkspaceTemplate”, which will be defined as a Static Resource somewhere in the project– either in a resource XAML file, or, perhaps in your window, under <Window.Resources> at the top of the XAML.

No matter where it is, if you search through your entire solution for WorkspaceTemplate you should eventually see where it is defined.
