Hello,
My WPF application (WpfApplication1) is, for its XAML part, composed of an single empty grid.
Elements are loaded inside this grid from an external XAML file, read through XamlReader.
This external Xaml file contains (for the purpose of this example) a URL to an image which should be located in the 'My documents' user folder.
The problem is that during importation the url from images should be relative to the application which is loading the file!
In other words, this URL should be relative to the application (pack://siteoforigin:, pack://application)
...and in my case, this path is 'outside' from that context and should be built this way:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.MyDocuments) & "Theme\"
So, I wrote a Converter, hoping to build the complete path url...but without succes!!
> 'Impossible to create the unknow type '{clr-namespace:WpfApplication1}imgurlConvert'.'
The application XAML part:
<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:test"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
x:Class="MainWindow" Title="main" Height="600" Width="800">
<Grid></Grid>
</Window>
The application VB part:
Imports System.IO
Class MainWindow
Public Shared ThemeTempFolder As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) & "\Theme\"
Public Shared themeGrid As Grid
Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Loaded
Debug.Print(ThemeTempFolder)
loadInterface()
End Sub
Sub loadInterface()
Dim GridUri As String = ThemeTempFolder & "theme.xaml"
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(GridUri, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim sri = TryCast(System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(fs), Grid)
Me.Content = sri
fs.Close()
themeGrid = LogicalTreeHelper.FindLogicalNode(sri, "themeGrid")
End Sub
End Class
Public Class imgurlConvert
Implements IValueConverter
Public Function Convert(ByVal value As Object, ByVal targetType As Type, ByVal parameter As Object, ByVal culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo) As Object Implements IValueConverter.Convert
Dim valConv As String = MainWindow.ThemeTempFolder & value
If File.Exists(valConv) Then
Return valConv
End If
Return Nothing
End Function
Public Function ConvertBack(ByVal value As Object, ByVal targetType As Type, ByVal parameter As Object, ByVal culture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo) As Object Implements IValueConverter.ConvertBack
Return value
End Function
End Class
The XAML file to load:
<Grid xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" Name="themeGrid">
<Grid.Resources>
<local:imgurlConvert x:Key="urlConvert" />
</Grid.Resources>
<Grid Name="mainGrid">
<Image Source={Binding Path="image.png", Converter={StaticResource urlConvert}} CacheOption="OnLoad" x:Name="Image1"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I hope that I was clear enough!? Thanks for helping me!!

How can we integrate HTML Help files with Table Of Contents into an application developing in C#.NET.
While installing the application (.exe), the help files also should get extracted into the installation folder and when the user press F1 key or click on the Help Icon/ link, the index.htm page should display in a browser.
Please note that the html files are having CSS, Images, and Scripts in separate folders.
Kind regards, Adarsh

I use InnoSetup for my installation program; it can create folders with their contents.
Add a WebBrowser control to your application to display HTML help. The WebBrowser control has methods for navigating to the content you want to display.

I'm not sure why (probably a bug in .NET), but this only works when you remove the default template. I.e.:
<ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="REPLACE ME WITH THE CORRECT TEMPLATE"></TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentControl.ContentTemplate>
Remove that portion and the triggers will work. I also tried adding a button to switch the type at runtime and it worked fine.

I'm really stuck here. I MUST get this working. I have been asking questions about this but I can't seem to get an answer that makes sense to me.
Either I'm not asking the question right, or I don't understand the answers.
See this image[^].
This should be simple. I just don't get it. I can't find a single example if a UserControl with a ViewModel that gets data from the host its on.
I have a sample control that I wrote but won't work here[^].
Can someone point me to an example of how this is done?
Many Thanks!

OK, there's a couple of problems with your sample code which aren't helping:
- In
LookupComboControlViewModel, the People property passes the wrong property name to the RaisePropertyChanged method; - Your category IDs start at zero, which happens to be the default value of the
_CategoryId field, so when you select the "Presidents" category, the people won't be loaded;
There might be a more elegant way to make this work, but for a quick hack you can use a property changed callback on your DependencyProperty to manually change the property on your DataContext:
public CategoryModel SelectedCategory
{
get { return (CategoryModel)GetValue(SelectecCategoryProperty); }
set { SetValue(SelectecCategoryProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedCategoryProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"SelectedCategory", typeof(CategoryModel), typeof(LookupComboControl),
new UIPropertyMetadata(null, SelectedCategoryChanged));
private static void SelectedCategoryChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var view = (LookupComboControl)d;
var viewModel = (LookupComboControlViewModel)view.DataContext;
var model = (CategoryModel)e.NewValue;
viewModel.CategoryId = (model == null) ? 0 : model.Id;
}
I've updated your sample: http://1drv.ms/1j69N0P[^]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I had tried to get the dc in the callback before, but I couldn't make it work.

I have this style:
<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
</Style>
It expands the row when it's selected. Instead of this, I need to bind the grid row's IsExpanded to a property called IsRowExpanded on the row's data object. The IsRowExpand will be set to true on the back end if there are any child rows.
Can someone show me how to do this binding?
<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="[WHAT GOES HERE?]" />
</Style>
Many thanks

This is a bit long, and I'm not entirely sure how to word my question...
I am developing a prototype for a simple lookup control[^].
The source is here[^].
The Category combo is on the window, and below it is my control. When a category is selected, I want the Lookup control to get the category Id:
<ComboBox x:Name="CategoryCombo"
Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Categories}"
SelectedValuePath="Id"
DisplayMemberPath="Category"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Height="24"
Width="375"/>
<views:LookupComboControl Grid.Row="2"
CategoryId="{Binding ElementName=CategoryCombo, Path=SelectedValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
Height="70"
Width="400"/>
My Lookup control's VM is pretty simple:
public class LookupComboControlViewModel : _ModelBase
{
private List<PersonModel> _People = new List<PersonModel>();
public List<PersonModel> People
{
get { return _People; }
set
{
if (_People != value)
{
_People = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("ComboSourceData");
}
}
}
private string _CategoryName;
public string CategoryName
{
get { return _CategoryName; }
set
{
if (_CategoryName != value)
{
_CategoryName = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("CategoryName");
}
}
}
private int _CategoryId;
public int CategoryId
{
get { return _CategoryId; }
set
{
if (_CategoryId != value)
{
_CategoryId = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("CategoryId");
loadData();
}
}
}
private void loadData()
{
DAL dal = new DAL();
People = dal.GetPeopleForCategory(CategoryId);
}
}
When a category is selected, I want to set the lookup control's CateogoryId. The lookup control has this DP in it.
public LookupComboControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new LookupComboControlViewModel();
}
public int CategoryId
{
get { return (int)GetValue(CategoryIdProperty); }
set { SetValue(CategoryIdProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty CategoryIdProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("CategoryId", typeof(int), typeof(LookupComboControl));
The ultimate goal is to have the VM for the Lookup control know when the CategoryId was set. When I select a cateogory, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

Don't you need to bind the SelectedItem property in the Combo to something so you know what is selected?
|
|
|
|
|
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The user control is bound to the Category combo's SelectedValue, so when a category is selected, it's value (CategoryId), should be passed to my control.
views:LookupComboControl Grid.Row="2"
CategoryId="{Binding ElementName=CategoryCombo, Path=SelectedValue, Mode=TwoWay}"
Height="70"
Width="400"/>

I think you are right in principal, but in practice I'm sure I've seen/had problems with selected value not working as expected...
For the sake of a test, change it to bind to the text property and see if it starts working- at least that narrows the issue down!
|
|
|
|
|
OK, I think you were right. The Output window was showing a Null being passed as SelectedValue.
So I made the following changes::
In the control:
public object SelectecCategory
{
get { return (object)GetValue(SelectecCategoryProperty); }
set
{
SetValue(SelectecCategoryProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectecCategoryProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SelectecCategory", typeof(object), typeof(LookupComboControl));
In the MainWindow
<ComboBox x:Name="CategoryCombo"
Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Categories}"
SelectedValuePath="Id"
DisplayMemberPath="Category"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Height="24"
Width="375"/>
<views:LookupComboControl Grid.Row="2"
SelectecCategory="{Binding ElementName=CategoryCombo, Path=SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
Height="70"
Width="400"/>
Now I get no binding errors. But the original problem still exists... Nothing happens.
So here's my question - The UserControl has the DP. Once the MainWindow sets the DP, how does the User Control's VM know about it? Again, I need to somehow get the selected category into the ViewModel.

Are you still stuck on this?
I realise it's a bit late, but anyhow...
Assuming your binding is working (didn't test your code, can't at the moment), all you would need to do is add a callback for the dependency property change.
public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectecCategoryProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("SelectecCategory", typeof(object), typeof(LookupComboControl), new UIPropertyMetadata(new PropertyChangedCallback(OnChanged))););
...
private static void OnChanged(DependencyObject obj, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var control = obj as LookupComboControl;
control.SetCategoryOnVm();
}
private void SetCategoryOnVm()
{
vm.Category = this.SelectedCategory
}

I have a class called Steps and one of the properties is called Text (but it has several others as well). When a user types text in a text box (called txtText) and click the button (called btnAddEntry), and new Steps class is created and added to the list box.
My issue is how to format the entries in the list box. I would like the list box to show the value of the Text property of the Step just added, but I would also like the index of the item just added to be prefixed to the text.
The XAML for me list box is:
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Name="lstSteps" Margin="5">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Text}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
So if I type the entries "First Item", "Second Item", "Third Item" into txtText and click the btnAddEntry the list box will show
First Item
Second Item
Third Item
However I want the list box to show:
1. First Item
2. Second Item
3. Third Item
I've attempted this by modifying the ListBox.ItemTemplate in various ways, but just can't seem to figure it out. I have tried things like the following:
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Name="lstSteps" Margin="5">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Index}" />
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Text}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
As well as using RelativeSource to Self, but I can never get the list box item to prefix it's index within the list box.
I really want this down in XAML because there are buttons to move items up and down the list box after they are added (so the user can reorder items instead of deleting them and re-entering them) and if I using bindings in the item template, these numbers should auto-update.
Any help with this will is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

You did not include an ItemsSource in your XAML, so I'm hoping you just left it out (although you included other stuff)?
Please tell me you aren't manually creating ListViewItems and inserting those  .
Anyways, assuming you are doing it "the right way" and using an ObservableCollection as your ItemsSource, I would write a MultiConverter that takes the ItemsSource and the item itself and returns the index of the item + 1.
Then in your XAML, you would just use StringFormat with a multi-binding to format '{0}. {1}' on a single label.

I am not creating ListViewItems and inserting those. I'm creating new instances of the Steps class and inserting those. The Steps class as a property called Text which is what I want displayed in the list box which is why I'm binding to (<Label Content="{Binding Path=Text}" />). However I wanted the index number prefixed to it, so I was hoping there was some XAML multi-binding expression to add it, without creating an ObservableCollection.
However, if I'm understanding you correctly your saying that I should binding the list box to an ObservableCollection, and when a user clicks btnAddEntry the new Steps instance is added to the ObservableCollection, and use the MultiConverter to present the data for the XAML multi-binding expression?

Well ListViewItem / Potato. I meant that you are inserting stuff into the Items (type ItemCollection) rather then a bound collection. Which it sounds like you are.
ItemCollection doesn't have an IndexOf method while pretty much every other list collection does.
Doesn't have to be an ObservableCollection, but since you have an add / delete / move-up / move-down. I don't know why you wouldn't use ObservableCollection. It does half the work for you.
If you are writing WPF code, it would SERIOUSLY behoove you to get into the habit of NOT operating on the controls themselves and operating on bound objects. That's what WPF was intended for and you can take advantage of a lot of features that you can't take advantage of when operating on the controls themselves.
EDIT: Almost forgot to answer your question lol...
Yes. Your label would use StringFormat on a multi-binding expression (expression 1 would be the return from your MultiValueConverter and expression 2 would be Path=Text). The MultiValueConverter would be Path=ItemsSource and {Binding} (which is the item itself). The MultiValueConverter would return ((ObservableCollection<Whatever>)values[0]).IndexOf(values[1]) + 1;

I need help, I created a template to personalize my sale (title bar, buttons and so on) the template is in a Diccionari Resources would like to teach me where and what are the procedures to minimize and close the window to use this template, no I ask you to make a complete program guidelines only why I upload a sample project.

I dont know what you want exactly, but you could take a look at this article i wrote and see if you could use what I wrote about the style. It contains information regarding Resource directory etc:
WPF-Drawing Canvas Control[^]
|
|
|
|
|
My problem is not about styles is rather like giving shares Minimize and close a window with buttons that are in the style of customizing a window.
|
|
|
|
|
It does have a custom minimize button and others, while it is not in the style, it can be placed there.
