Re: I have issues with the C# WPF WebBrowser class

What do you mean when you say that "the htmldata is not complete"? You can access the mshtml.HTMLDocument object from the .Document property of the WebBrowser object in the LoadComplete event.

As for the "visuals", the page is rendered on the main UI thread. Since LoadComplete runs on the main UI thread (when the page has been loaded, but not yet displayed), the page will not display until LoadComplete exits ... unless you tell the thread's Dispatcher to process pending UI events (see DispatcherFrame in VS / C# Help).

Blurry Borderline In FlowDocument

It seems no amount of SnapsToDevicePixels="True" and/or UseLayoutRounding="True" can make the border around a Paragraph sharp:

XML

<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <FlowDocumentReader>
        <FlowDocument>
        
            <Paragraph BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Padding="10">
                <InlineUIContainer>
                    <Expander Header="An expander" >
                        <Button>A button</Button>
                    </Expander>
                </InlineUIContainer>
            </Paragraph>
            
            <Paragraph BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Padding="10">
                <InlineUIContainer>
                    <Expander Header="An expander" >
                        <Button>A button</Button>
                    </Expander>
                </InlineUIContainer>
            </Paragraph>
            
            <Paragraph BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Padding="10">
                <InlineUIContainer>
                    <Expander Header="An expander" >
                        <Button>A button</Button>
                    </Expander>
                </InlineUIContainer>
            </Paragraph>
            
        </FlowDocument>
    </FlowDocumentReader>
</Window>

However i can use RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased" which makes the border sharp, but distorts the Expander:

XML

<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <FlowDocumentReader RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased">
        <FlowDocument>
        
            <Paragraph BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Padding="10">
                <InlineUIContainer>
                    <Expander Header="An expander" >
                        <Button>A button</Button>
                    </Expander>
                </InlineUIContainer>
            </Paragraph>
            
        </FlowDocument>
    </FlowDocumentReader>
</Window>

So, is there any way to make the border sharp without hurting the documents appearance? Big Grin | :-D

If you placed the Expanders (with a border) "outside" the FlowDocument (in a FrameworkElement), you could use UseLayoutRounding to get the effect you want.

As presented, I don't see why these expanders have to be inside a FlowDocument (which isn't a FrameworkElement).

Ok i figured out a way that works, although its a bit ugly:

XML

<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <FlowDocumentScrollViewer>
        <FlowDocument>
        
            <Paragraph>
                <InlineUIContainer>
                    
                    <Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Padding="10" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
                        <Expander>
                            <Expander.Header>
                                <TextBlock Text="An expander" Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Expander}}, Path=ActualWidth}" />
                            </Expander.Header>
                                                
                            <Button>A button</Button>
                        </Expander>                    
                    </Border>
                    
                </InlineUIContainer>
            </Paragraph>
            
        </FlowDocument>
    </FlowDocumentScrollViewer>
</Window>

As for why, my code is based on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3798262/how-to-collapse-a-paragraph although i've been improving it. The idea is add or remove a paragraph block below the expander block based on the state of the expander. That + code to handle the copy to clipboard to convert the uielements to text (in this case, getting the header string of the expander) and the result is an interactive flowdocument with collapsing regions and copy support.

Binding in a WPF TreeViewItem

I want my treeview items to change their appearance based on other properties within the object being represented by the treeview item. I've done the following within the treeview zaml:

XML

<TreeView.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding Path=IsValid, Converter={StaticResource StatusInvalidConverter}}" />
        <Setter Property="HeaderTemplate">
            <Setter.Value>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Grid>
                        <Border Grid.Column="0" x:Name="PART_ItemBorder" ... >
                            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                <Label Content="{Binding}"  />

                                /// my custom stuff is here
                                <Label Content="(NOT USED)" 
                                       Visibility="{Binding Path=IsReferenced, Converter={StaticResource MyConverter}}" 
                                       Foreground="Red" />
                        
                            </StackPanel>
                        </Border>
                    </Grid>
                </DataTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</TreeView.Resources>

I'm getting the following notification in the output window when I run the app in debug mode:

System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: 'IsReferenced' property not found on 'object' ''String' (HashCode=1540110492)'. BindingExpression:Path=IsReferenced; DataItem='String' (HashCode=1540110492); target element is 'Label' (Name=''); target property is 'Visibility' (type 'Visibility')<br />
