Toggle and grey out a StackPanel

Question

I am trying to toggle a small StackPanel on top of a large StackPanel: when the small StackPanel is toggled and show visible, the large StackPanel on the back is grey out with a opacity color. Does anyone know how can I grey out a whole StackPanel?

Answer 1

You could try to disable the StackPanel (stackPanel.IsEnabled = false;), then all children of that StackPanel will also be disabled which normally takes the apprearance of greyed out controls.

Answer 2

Try this:

stackPanel.IsEnabled = false;

Answer 3

H.B.'s answer does not work on Windows Phone 8.1 A simple way to disable all children of a control is to wrap your controls inside a <ContentControl x:Name="MyControl"> Then you can apply MyControl.IsEnabled = false; See here.
