Markup Examples (Visual Basic)

' This sample shows how to display an Outlook style tree control using Markup:

' VB 6 code snippet
TreeViewMarkup.EnableMarkup = True
TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add , , "Root", "Personal Folders"

TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add "Root", xtpTreeViewChild, , "Deleted Items"
TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add "Root", xtpTreeViewChild, , "Drafts"
TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add "Root", xtpTreeViewChild, , "" & _
    "Inbox "
TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add "Root", xtpTreeViewChild, , "" & _
    "Junk E-mail "
TreeViewMarkup.Nodes.Add "Root", xtpTreeViewChild, , "Outbox"

TreeViewMarkup.Nodes("Root").Expanded = True

' ************************************************

' Below is a sample that shows how to mix an image with text on a button using Markup, note the image is loaded from an image file. 
' To reference an image stored in the ImageManager control, simply set "Source" to the id of the image to load:

' VB 6 code snippet
PushButton1.EnableMarkup = True
PushButton1.Caption = "Need " & _
    "" & _
    " with " & _
    "Markup?"

' ************************************************

' The following sample illustrates the same techniques as the sample above, however, this sample shows how 
' to create more elaborate XAML using only the Label control:

' VB 6 code snippet
LabelMarkup.EnableMarkup = True
LabelMarkup.Caption = _
    " & _" & 
    "Background='#e4ecf7'>" & _
    "" & _
    "   Change Case" & _
    "" & _
    "   Change all the " & _
    "selected text to UPPERCASE, lowercase, or other common " & _
    "capitalizations." & _
    "   " & _
    "   " & _
    "   " & _
    "         & _" & 
    "VerticalAlignment='Center' FontWeight='Bold'>Press F1 for" & _
    " more help." & _
    "   " & _
    "" & _
    ""
