Vista - Multiple StackPanel

Hello,

I am trying to embed a StackPanel within another StackPanel. The
problem when I click on the first entry of the childPanel, it collapses
the rootPanel (so that childPanel is no longer selected).
So if I selected Child Entry, the StackPanel expands and I see Entry1
Selected. Then I select Entry3, no problem so far. When click back to
Entry1 .. rootPanel becomes collapsed. Are there restrictions about
embedding StackPanels?

Here is a code segment to illustrate what I am doing

childPanel = new StackPanel();
childPanel.add(new Label("This is a child entry1"), "Entry1");
childPanel.add(new Label("This is a child entry2"), "Entry2");
childPanel.add(new Label("This is a child entry3"), "Entry3");

rootPanel = new StackPanel();
rootPanel.add(new Label("Test Entry"), "RootEntry");
rootPanel.add(childPanel, "Child Entry");


Thanks in advance

From your code segment it does not look like you are using WPF (Avalon). In
Avalon,
a) a StackPanel does not have an “add� method
b) you can only add one child at a time to a StackPanel

So, your code snippet should look more like:
StackPanel childPanel = new StackPanel();
Label entry1 = new Label();
entry1.Content = “This is child entry1�;
Label entry2 = new Label();
entry2.Content = “This is child entry2�;
childPanel.Children.Add(entry1);
childPanel.Children.Add(entry2);
...

Also, what is it that you are trying to achieve by placing a StackPanel
inside a StackPanel? How are you programming the collapsing and expanding
behavior you talk about?
