ExpandDirection Enumeration

.NET Framework 4

Specifies the direction in which an Expander control opens.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public enum ExpandDirection
XAML Attribute Usage
Copy 
<object property="enumerationMemberName" .../>
Member name Description
Down The Expander control opens down.
Up The Expander control opens up.
Left The Expander control opens left.

To specify the direction that an Expander control expands, set the ExpandDirection property to one of the enumeration members.

The following example shows how to set the ExpandDirection property to an ExpandDirection enumeration member.

XAML
Copy 

<StackPanel>
  <RadioButton Name="ExpandDown" Margin="0,10,0,10" 
            IsChecked="True"
            Checked="ChangeExpandDirection"
            GroupName="ExpandDirectionProperty">
     Expand Down
  </RadioButton>
  <RadioButton Name="ExpandUp" Margin="0,0,0,10"
            Checked="ChangeExpandDirection"
            GroupName="ExpandDirectionProperty">
     Expand Up
  </RadioButton>
  <RadioButton Name="ExpandLeft" Margin="0,0,0,10"
            Checked="ChangeExpandDirection"
            GroupName="ExpandDirectionProperty">
    Expand Left
  </RadioButton>
  <RadioButton Name="ExpandRight" Margin="0,0,0,10"
            Checked="ChangeExpandDirection"
            GroupName="ExpandDirectionProperty">
    Expand Right
  </RadioButton>
</StackPanel>
C#
VB
Copy 

private void ChangeExpandDirection(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if ((Boolean)ExpandDown.IsChecked)
        myExpander.ExpandDirection = ExpandDirection.Down;
    else if ((Boolean)ExpandUp.IsChecked)
        myExpander.ExpandDirection = ExpandDirection.Up;
    else if ((Boolean)ExpandLeft.IsChecked)
        myExpander.ExpandDirection = ExpandDirection.Left;
    else if ((Boolean)ExpandRight.IsChecked)
        myExpander.ExpandDirection = ExpandDirection.Right;

    //Expand myExpander so it is easier to see the effect of changing 
    //the ExpandDirection property for My Expander
    myExpander.IsExpanded = true;
}
