Visão Geral do Uso de Layout Automático

  • Artigo

This topic introduces guidelines for developers on how to write Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications with localizable user interfaces (UIs). In the past, localization of a UI was a time consuming process. Each language that the UI was adapted for required a pixel by pixel adjustment. Hoje, com o design correto e o direito de codificação de padrões, UIs pode ser construído de forma que os localizadores têm menos de redimensionamento e reposicionamento a fazer. A abordagem para escrever aplicativos que podem ser mais facilmente redimensionado e reposicionado é chamada de layout automático e pode ser alcançada usando WPF design do aplicativo.

Advantages of Using Automatic Layout

Because the WPF presentation system is powerful and flexible, it provides the ability to layout elements in an application that can be adjusted to fit the requirements of different languages. The following list points out some of the advantages of automatic layout.

  • UI displays well in any language.

  • Reduces the need to readjust position and size of controls after text is translated.

  • Reduces the need to readjust window size.

  • UI layout renders properly in any language.

  • Localization can be reduced to the point that it is little more than string translation.

Automatic Layout and Controls

Automatic layout enables an application to adjust the size of a control automatically. For example, a control can change to accommodate the length of a string. This capability enables localizers to translate the string; they no longer need to resize the control to fit the translated text. The following example creates a button with English content.

<Window
    xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    x:Class="ButtonLoc.Pane1"
    Name="myWindow"
    SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"
    >

<DockPanel> 
    <Button FontSize="28" Height="50">My name is Hope.</Button>
</DockPanel>
</Window>

No exemplo, tudo o que você precisa fazer para tornar um botão em espanhol é alterar o texto. For example,

<Window
    xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    x:Class="ButtonLoc.Pane1"
    Name="myWindow"
    SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"
    >

 <DockPanel> 
    <Button FontSize="28" Height="50">Me llamo Esperanza.</Button>
  </DockPanel>
</Window>

The following graphic shows the output of the code samples.

Automatic Layout and Coding Standards

Using the automatic layout approach requires a set of coding and design standards and rules to produce a fully localizable UI. The following guidelines will aid your automatic layout coding.

Coding Standards

Description

Do not use absolute positions.

Do not set a fixed size for a window.

 

<StackPanel
    xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    x:Class="GridLoc.Pane1"
>

Add a FlowDirection.

  • Add a FlowDirection to the root element of your application.

  • WPF provides a convenient way to support horizontal, bidirectional, and vertical layouts. In presentation framework, the FlowDirection property can be used to define layout. The flow-direction patterns are:

    • LeftToRight(LrTb) — um layout horizontal para latim, do Leste Asiático e assim por diante.

    • RightToLeft(RlTb) — bidirecional para árabe, hebraico e assim por diante.

Use composite fonts instead of physical fonts.

  • With composite fonts, the FontFamily property does not need to be localized.

  • Developers can use one of the following fonts or create their own.

    • Global User Interface

    • Global San Serif

    • Global Serif

Add xml:lang.

  • Adicionar o xml:lang atributo no elemento raiz do seu UI, como xml:lang="en-US" para um aplicativo em inglês.

  • Porque a usar fontes compostas xml:lang para determinar qual fonte para usar, defina essa propriedade para dar suporte a cenários multilíngües.

Automatic Layout and Grids

The Grid element, is useful for automatic layout because it enables a developer to position elements. A Grid o controle é capaz de distribuir o espaço disponível entre seus elementos filho, usando uma organização coluna e linha. The UI elements can span multiple cells, and it is possible to have grids within grids. As grades são úteis porque eles permitem que você criar e posicionar complexos UI. The following example demonstrates using a grid to position some buttons and text. Notice that the height and width of the cells are set to Auto; therefore, the cell that contains the button with an image adjusts to fit the image.

<Grid Name="grid" ShowGridLines ="false">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" FontSize="24">Grid
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="12"  
    Grid.ColumnSpan="2">The following buttons and text are positioned using a Grid.
</TextBlock>  
<Button Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Background="Pink" 
    BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="10">Button 1
</Button>
<TextBlock Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="12" 
   VerticalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow">Sets the background 
   color.
</TextBlock>  
<Button Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="3" Foreground="Red">
   Button 2
</Button>
<TextBlock Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" FontSize="12" 
   VerticalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow">Sets the foreground 
   color.
</TextBlock>  
<Button Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="4">
   <Image Source="data\flower.jpg"></Image>
</Button>
<TextBlock Margin="10, 10, 5, 5" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="4" FontSize="12" 
   VerticalAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow">Adds an image as 
   the button's content.
</TextBlock>
</Grid>

The following graphic shows the grid produced by the previous code.

Automatic Layout and Grids Using the IsSharedSizeScope Property

A Grid elemento é útil em aplicativos localizáveis para criar controles que ajustam para caber o conteúdo. However, at times you want controls to maintain a particular size regardless of content. For example, if you have "OK", "Cancel" and "Browse" buttons you probably do not want the buttons sized to fit the content. Nesse caso o Grid.IsSharedSizeScope propriedade anexada é útil para compartilhar o mesmo dimensionamento entre vários elementos de grade. The following example demonstrates how to share column and row sizing data between multiple Grid elements.

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top">  
    <Button Click="setTrue" Margin="0,0,10,10">Set IsSharedSizeScope="True"</Button>
    <Button Click="setFalse" Margin="0,0,10,10">Set IsSharedSizeScope="False"</Button>
</StackPanel> 

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top">

<Grid ShowGridLines="True" Margin="0,0,10,0">
  <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="FirstColumn"/>
    <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="SecondColumn"/>
  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
  <Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="FirstRow"/>
  </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Rectangle Fill="Silver" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Width="200" Height="100"/>
    <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Width="150" Height="100"/>

    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" FontWeight="Bold">First Column</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" FontWeight="Bold">Second Column</TextBlock>
</Grid>

<Grid ShowGridLines="True">
  <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="FirstColumn"/>
    <ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="SecondColumn"/>
  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
  <Grid.RowDefinitions>        
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="FirstRow"/>
  </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <Rectangle Fill="Silver" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0"/>
    <Rectangle Fill="Blue" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"/>

    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" FontWeight="Bold">First Column</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" FontWeight="Bold">Second Column</TextBlock>
</Grid>

</StackPanel>

<TextBlock Margin="10" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Name="txt1"/>
