I’d like an advice to the following problem: I want to embed a Button into a text flow, but when I embed a Button and Label (or TextBlock) into the WrapPanel, I get the first figure:
alt text http://sklad.tomaskafka.com/files/wpf-wrappanel-problem.png
I think that one of solutions could be FlowDocument, but I feel that this is far too heavy for a control simple like this (which could be used in several hundred instances). Do you have some other ideas about how to implement this? Thank you!
EDIT:
One solution could be the following (I didn’t know it was possible to put more stuff into TextBlock), but I would lose the ability to bind (which I need):
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
<Span>
<Button x:Name="MyButton" Command="{Binding Path=MyCommand}" Content="+" />
<Run x:Name="MyLabel" Text="{Binding Path=Subject}" />
<!--
Problem: binding makes following error:
A 'Binding' cannot be set on the 'Text' property of type 'Run'.
A 'Binding' can only be set on a DependencyProperty of a DependencyObject.
-->
</Span>
</TextBlock>
I found that implementing BindableRun correctly is pretty tricky – and almost all other available implementations will cause an exception from wpf layouting engine when the bound content changes from null to something non-null – see this problem, keyword “Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.”
Corrrect implementation from Microsoft is here – it shows how tricky this really is.
