One of the last projects I did was coding up the design of an enterprise app. And like in most enterprise apps, this app had a list which needs to be folded and expanded. But unfortunately there was no such out of the box control in UWP (like we had in WPF). So I had to create a one from scratch. And with the time limitation in mind, I decided to go with a User Control. Guess what, the final outcome was not too bad. So I decided to share it with the community.
This is how it looks.
Properties
You can use this control with any kind of framework element. It’s not just limited to a list. What you have to do is simply assign the property FoldableContent to the content you want.
You can specify the content in the header from changing the HeaderText property.
You can specify the content you want to display when there are no items in the content. Simply add a framework element to the EmptyContent property or change the EmptyText property. To display this emptiness you have to set the DisplayEmpty property to true. (If a ItemsControl simply bind the Count property with a value converter)
You can find the source code in my GitHub repo.
Happy coding. Best of luck.
