Silverlight / WPF - Add icon in wpf textbox - Asked By Lokesh M on 20-Feb-12 12:05 AM

Hi,

Is there anyway to insert an icon in wpf textbox.

trying to insert "Lock" icon to an extreme left of the password textbox.

Thanks.

Hi in Windows Forms Tree View the process of adding the icons was very similar. TreeView control provides the ImageList property. A custom list of images can be directly attached to this property. Below is the small sample of code, I have taken this idea from one of the blogs in MSDN:

//Create a Root Node for TreeView
treeView.Nodes.Add("RootNode");
//Create Child Nodes for TreeView
TreeNode rootNode = treeView.Nodes[0];
rootNode.Nodes.Add("A");
rootNode.Nodes.Add("A");
rootNode.Nodes.Add("A");
rootNode.Nodes.Add("A");
rootNode.ExpandAll();
//Create an Imagelist
ImageList imageList = CreateImageList();
//Add the ImageList to TreeView
treeView.ImageList = imageList;
//Set the Starting Image Index
treeView.ImageIndex = 1;

For more information refer to the below link.

Hope it helps you.

For achieving this functionality you have to put an Image into your XAML code with Source binding to a Dependency Property. Then during the KeyboardPreview event you can changing the Dependency Property in order to display the image you want.

Finally you can create your your own UserControl
