Step 2 of 3: Customizing the C1Expander Control

In the last step, you created a Silverlight project and added a C1Expander control to it. In this step, you will customize the behavior and appearance of the C1Expander control.

Complete the following steps:

1.   Add Height="75" to the <c1:C1Expander> tag to set the height of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:

<c1:C1Expander Height="75">

2.   Add Width="140" to the <c1:C1Expander> tag to set the width of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:

<c1:C1Expander Height="75" Width="140">

3.   Add Header="Expander Quick Start" to the <c1:C1Expander> tag to set the header text of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:

<c1:C1Expander Height="75"Width="140" Header="Expander QuickStart">

4.   Add Background="Aqua" to the <c1:C1Expander> tag to set the background color of the content area. The XAML markup appears follows:

<c1:C1Expander Height="75" Width="140" Header="Expander Quick Start" Background="Aqua">

5.   Add ExpandDirection="Up" to the <c1:C1Expander> tag so that the C1Expander control will expand from the bottom rather than expanding from the top, which is its default. The XAML markup appears as follows:

<c1:C1Expander Height="75" Width="140" Header="Expander Quick Start" Background="Aqua" ExpandDirection="Up">

In this step, you customized the appearance and behavior of the C1Expander control. In the next step, you will add content to the control.
