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 = _
    "<Label 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." & _
    "   " & _
    "</Label>"
