如何在WPF文本框中添加提示文本？

例如，当文本框为空时，Facebook在“搜索”文本框中具有“搜索”提示文本。

如何使用WPF文本框实现此目标？

您可以使用VisualBrush和中的一些触发器来轻松完成此操作Style：

<TextBox>
    <TextBox.Style>
        <Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
            <Style.Resources>
                <VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
                    <VisualBrush.Visual>
                        <Label Content="Search" Foreground="LightGray" />
                    </VisualBrush.Visual>
                </VisualBrush>
            </Style.Resources>
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
                </Trigger>
                <Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
                </Trigger>
                <Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>

为了提高此功能的可重用性Style，您还可以创建一组附加属性来控制实际的提示横幅文本，颜色，方向等。

这是我从Microsoft（https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/How-to-add-a-hint-text-to-ed66a3c6）改编而成的简单解决方案

    <Grid Background="White" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"  >
        <!-- overlay with hint text -->
        <TextBlock Margin="5,2" MinWidth="50" Text="Suche..." 
                   Foreground="LightSteelBlue" Visibility="{Binding ElementName=txtSearchBox, Path=Text.IsEmpty, Converter={StaticResource MyBoolToVisibilityConverter}}" />
        <!-- enter term here -->
        <TextBox MinWidth="50" Name="txtSearchBox" Background="Transparent" />
    </Grid>

使用materialDesign HintAssist怎么样？我正在使用它，您也可以添加浮动提示：

<TextBox Width="150" Height="40" Text="hello" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="address"  materialDesign:HintAssist.IsFloating="True"></TextBox>

我用Nuget Package安装了Material Design，文档链接中有安装指南

通过将文本颜色最初设置为灰色，并添加事件处理程序以获取和失去键盘焦点，在代码背后进行操作。

TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.Foreground = Brushes.Gray;
tb.Text = "Text";
tb.GotKeyboardFocus += new KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler(tb_GotKeyboardFocus);
tb.LostKeyboardFocus += new KeyboardFocusChangedEventHandler(tb_LostKeyboardFocus);

然后是事件处理程序：

private void tb_GotKeyboardFocus(object sender, KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if(sender is TextBox)
    {
        //If nothing has been entered yet.
        if(((TextBox)sender).Foreground == Brushes.Gray)
        {
            ((TextBox)sender).Text = "";
            ((TextBox)sender).Foreground = Brushes.Black;
        }
    }
}


private void tb_LostKeyboardFocus(object sender, KeyboardFocusChangedEventArgs e)
{
    //Make sure sender is the correct Control.
    if(sender is TextBox)
    {
        //If nothing was entered, reset default text.
        if(((TextBox)sender).Text.Trim().Equals(""))
        {
            ((TextBox)sender).Foreground = Brushes.Gray;
            ((TextBox)sender).Text = "Text";
        }
    }
}

您必须通过继承文本框来创建自定义控件。下面的链接提供了有关搜索文本框示例的出色示例。请看看这个

http://davidowens.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/wpf-search-text-box/

您可以以非常简单的方式进行操作。想法是将标签与文本框放在同一位置。如果文本框没有文本且没有焦点，则您的标签将可见。

 <Label Name="PalceHolder"  HorizontalAlignment="Left" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="239" FontStyle="Italic"  Foreground="BurlyWood">PlaceHolder Text Here
  <Label.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
      <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden"/>
      <Style.Triggers>
        <MultiDataTrigger>
          <MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
            <Condition Binding ="{Binding ElementName=PalceHolder, Path=Text.Length}" Value="0"/>
            <Condition Binding ="{Binding ElementName=PalceHolder, Path=IsFocused}" Value="False"/>
          </MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
          <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
        </MultiDataTrigger>
      </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
  </Label.Style>
</Label>
<TextBox  Background="Transparent" Name="TextBox1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Height="40"TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding InputText,Mode=TwoWay}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="239" />

奖励：如果您希望文本框具有默认值，请确保在提交数据后对其进行设置（例如：如果为空，则为“ InputText” =“ PlaceHolder Text Here”）。

另一种方法;-)

这也适用PasswordBox。如果要与一起使用TextBox，只需PasswordChanged与交换TextChanged。

XAML：

<Grid>
    <!-- overlay with hint text -->
    <TextBlock Margin="5,2"
                Text="Password"
                Foreground="Gray"
                Name="txtHintPassword"/>
    <!-- enter user here -->
    <PasswordBox Name="txtPassword"
                Background="Transparent"
                PasswordChanged="txtPassword_PasswordChanged"/>
</Grid>

代码背后：

private void txtPassword_PasswordChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    txtHintPassword.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
    if (txtPassword.Password.Length > 0)
    {
        txtHintPassword.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
    }
}

我曾经遇到过同样的情况，我按照以下方式解决了。我仅满足提示框的要求，您可以通过在其他事件（例如焦点等）上添加效果和其他东西来使其更具交互性。

WPF代码（我已删除样式以使其可读）

<Grid Margin="0,0,0,0"  Background="White">
    <Label Name="adminEmailHint" Foreground="LightGray" Padding="6"  FontSize="14">Admin Email</Label>
    <TextBox Padding="4,7,4,8" Background="Transparent" TextChanged="adminEmail_TextChanged" Height="31" x:Name="adminEmail" Width="180" />
</Grid>
<Grid Margin="10,0,10,0" Background="White" >
    <Label Name="adminPasswordHint" Foreground="LightGray" Padding="6"  FontSize="14">Admin Password</Label>
    <PasswordBox Padding="4,6,4,8" Background="Transparent" PasswordChanged="adminPassword_PasswordChanged" Height="31" x:Name="adminPassword" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="180" FontFamily="Helvetica" FontWeight="Light" FontSize="14" Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="Admin Password"  FontStyle="Normal" />
</Grid>

C＃代码

private void adminEmail_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if(adminEmail.Text.Length == 0)
        {
            adminEmailHint.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
        }
        else
        {
            adminEmailHint.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
        }
    }

private void adminPassword_PasswordChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (adminPassword.Password.Length == 0)
        {
            adminPasswordHint.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
        }
        else
        {
            adminPasswordHint.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
        }
    }

另一个解决方案是使用WPF工具包，例如MahApps.Metro。它具有许多不错的功能，例如文本框水印：

Controls:TextBoxHelper.Watermark="Search..."

参见http://mahapps.com/controls/textbox.html

我使用了失去焦点的事件：

Private Sub txtSearchBox_GotFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles txtSearchBox.GotFocus
    If txtSearchBox.Text = "Search" Then
        txtSearchBox.Text = ""
    Else

    End If

End Sub

Private Sub txtSearchBox_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles txtSearchBox.LostFocus
    If txtSearchBox.Text = "" Then
        txtSearchBox.Text = "Search"
    Else

    End If
End Sub

它工作正常，但文本仍为灰色。需要清理。我正在使用VB.NET

  <Grid>
    <TextBox Name="myTextBox"/>
    <TextBlock>
        <TextBlock.Style>
            <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=myTextBox, Path=Text.IsEmpty}" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Text" Value="Prompt..."/>
                    </DataTrigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </TextBlock.Style>
    </TextBlock>
</Grid>

这是我的看法：

<ControlTemplate>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.Resources>
            <!--Define look / layout for both TextBoxes here. I applied custom Padding and BorderThickness for my application-->
            <Style TargetType="TextBox">
                <Setter Property="Padding" Value="4"/>
                <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>
            </Style>
        </Grid.Resources>

        <TextBox x:Name="TbSearch"/>
        <TextBox x:Name="TbHint" Text="Suche" Foreground="LightGray"
                 Visibility="Hidden" IsHitTestVisible="False" Focusable="False"/>
    </Grid>

    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
        <MultiTrigger>
            <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
                <Condition SourceName="TbSearch" Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}"/>
                <Condition SourceName="TbSearch" Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="False"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
            <MultiTrigger.Setters>
                <Setter TargetName="TbHint" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Setters>
        </MultiTrigger>

        <MultiTrigger>
            <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
                <Condition SourceName="TbSearch" Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}"/>
                <Condition SourceName="TbSearch" Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="False"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
            <MultiTrigger.Setters>
                <Setter TargetName="TbHint" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Setters>
        </MultiTrigger>
    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

在我看来，包括最高答案在内的大多数其他答案都有缺陷。

该解决方案在所有情况下均适用。纯XAML，易于重用。

我做到这一点了VisualBrush，并在一些触发器Style所建议的：sellmeadog。

<TextBox>
        <TextBox.Style>
            <Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
                <Style.Resources>
                    <VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
                        <VisualBrush.Visual>
                            <Label Content="Search" Foreground="LightGray" />
                        </VisualBrush.Visual>
                    </VisualBrush>
                </Style.Resources>
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </TextBox.Style>
    </TextBox>

@sellmeadog：应用程序正在运行，bt设计未加载...出现以下错误： 模糊类型引用。名为“ StaticExtension”的类型至少出现在两个名称空间中：“ MS.Internal.Metadata.ExposedTypes.Xaml”和“ System.Windows.Markup”。考虑调整程序集XmlnsDefinition属性。 使用的是.net 3.5

对于WPF，没有办法。您必须模仿它。请参阅此示例。第二种方法（不稳定的解决方案）是承载一个WinForms用户控件，该控件继承自TextBox，并将EM_SETCUEBANNER消息发送到编辑控件。即。

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

private const Int32 ECM_FIRST = 0x1500;
private const Int32 EM_SETCUEBANNER = ECM_FIRST + 1;

private void SetCueText(IntPtr handle, string cueText) {
    SendMessage(handle, EM_SETCUEBANNER, IntPtr.Zero, Marshal.StringToBSTR(cueText));
}

public string CueText {
    get {
        return m_CueText;
    } 
    set {
        m_CueText = value;
        SetCueText(this.Handle, m_CueText);
}

另外，如果您想托管WinForm控件方法，我有一个已经包含此实现的框架称为BitFlex Framework，您可以在此处免费下载。

这是一篇文章如果您需要更多信息，有关BitFlex。您将开始发现，如果您希望拥有Windows资源管理器样式的控件，而这些控件通常永远不会开箱即用，并且由于WPF通常无法使用句柄，因此您无法围绕Win32或现有控件编写简单的包装器与WinForms。
