My form has a ScrollViewer (horizontally oriented), with elements consisting of a set of UserControls. Basically layed out like this:
<ScrollViewer Name="TrackScroller" . . .
<Grid x:Name="TrackGrid" . . .
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
...
<local:TrackModule x: . . .
What I'd like to know, before I delve into it and possibly make myself crazy, is it possible to reorder the elements (the TrackModules) by dragging them to new positions in the grid? And, if so, will everything adjust itself afterward automatically?
Searching, I find tons of stuff about reordering DataGrid columns, but this isn't a DataGrid, and reordering rows of plain vanilla Grids, but nothing about columns.
Is what I'm thinking of doing even possible? (This is just a feature I'm idly thinking about, nothing even close to vital, so ROI is a factor, too.)

Normal panels are not quite friendly to drag operation (except perhaps canvas panel)
But I can imagine that one could create an adorner on mouse down, drag the adorner on mouse drag, update items Grid.Column on mouse up of the adorner
if you don't know about adorners:

Can someone show me how to create a Border with a background that pulsates from one color to another. I'm looking for a two-color fade in/out. The colors must be bound to property.
The colors will be set in response to a Status DP being changed.
Thanks

Find below a simple pulsing brush class I am using
public class PulsedBrush
{
public PulsedBrush()
{
Brush = new SolidColorBrush();
}
public PulsedBrush(Func<double, Color> get)
: this()
{
GetColor = get;
Update();
}
public Func<double, Color> GetColor { get; set; }
public SolidColorBrush Brush { get; private set; }
public static double DaySeconds
{
get
{
return DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.Ticks / (double)TimeSpan.TicksPerSecond;
}
}
public void Update()
{
if (GetColor != null)
{
Brush.Color = GetColor(DaySeconds);
}
}
}
And simply call the Update() method on the CompositionTarget.Rendering event

I have a list of booleans, and I want to bind checkboxes to this list.\
Code Behind
private List<bool> _OnOffValues;
public List<bool> OnOffValues
{
get { return _OnOffValues; }
set
{
if (_OnOffValues != value)
{
_OnOffValues = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("OnOffValues");
}
}
}
public MyControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
OnOffValues = new List<bool>();
for (int x = 0; x < 24; x++)
{
OnOffValues.Add(true);
}
}
XAML
<CheckBox Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
IsChecked="{Binding OnOffValues[0], ElementName=control}"/>
The output window shows
System.Windows.Data Error: 17 : Cannot get 'Item[]' value (type 'Boolean') from 'OnOffValues' (type 'List`1'). BindingExpression:Path=OnOffValues[0]; DataItem='MyControl' (Name='control'); target element is 'CheckBox' (Name=''); target property is 'IsChecked' (type 'Nullable`1') ArgumentOutOfRangeException:'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: index'
The code in the contructor runs and the list is populated, but the output message appears BEFORE that.
What am I doing wrong here??

Your binding assumes that OnOffValues is a dependency property of the control.
"As beings of finite lifespan, our contributions to the sum of human knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors we can undertake and one of the defining characteristics of humanity itself"
|
|
|
|
|
There's nothing there that says it's expecting a DP.

Look at his binding, IsChecked="{Binding OnOffValues[0], ElementName=control}" and the property, OnOffValues, is in the code behind of his user control. If he changes the property to a dependency property he won't get the error.
"As beings of finite lifespan, our contributions to the sum of human knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors we can undertake and one of the defining characteristics of humanity itself"

As explained below, it looks like he's using INPC so this is completely irrelevant.

Something like this,
Code behind
public partial class SomeControl : UserControl
{
public SomeControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
OnOffValues.Add(true);
}
}
public List<bool> OnOffValues
{
get { return (List<bool>)GetValue(OnOffValuesProperty); }
set { SetValue(OnOffValuesProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty OnOffValuesProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("OnOffValues", typeof(List<bool>),
typeof(SomeControl), new PropertyMetadata(new List<bool>()));
}
XAML
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=OnOffValues[0], RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=UserControl}}"/>
"As beings of finite lifespan, our contributions to the sum of human knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors we can undertake and one of the defining characteristics of humanity itself"
|
|
|
|
|
He's set the UserControl as its own DataContext. He doesn't need to create a DP if he's set the UC to implement INotifyPropertyChanged (which the property change notification suggests).

Quite true, I had taken note of that. I only supposed that the more apt approach would be to use a dependency property.
"As beings of finite lifespan, our contributions to the sum of human knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors we can undertake and one of the defining characteristics of humanity itself"

Not when he already set the DataContext. The issue was purely a timing issue and could be fixed with a FallbackValue.

If you check the timing of what's happening, the bind is happening as the control is being created - it happens in the InitializeComponent call in the user control. What you could do here is supply a FallbackValue so that the binding is satisfied until the point that your ViewModel is created.

Changing / setting the DataContext invokes the binding mechanism.
public MyControl()
{
OnOffValues = new List<bool>();
for (int x = 0; x < 24; x++)
{
OnOffValues.Add(true);
}
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = this;
}
And there is no "ElementName" in play here.

I have problem dragging file to the explorer.
It seems to be something to do with my current application settings.
I have a test app with hardcoded file and when the appropriate mouse event happen I trigger the following code (with hard coded file path)
var dragObj = new DataObject();
dragObj.SetFileDropList(new StringCollection() { @"H:\Temp\popeye.svg" });
DragDrop.DoDragDrop(new Window(), dragObj, DragDropEffects.Copy);
however if I do that in my other app (and I do it from the UI thread as well and with the same hard coded paths), nothing is dropped and the explorer show the forbidden cursor and the operation only complete when my mouse enter my window rect again.
I am stomped.. what could cause this code to work in one app, but not the other?
Remark: I am using the same version of the .NET Framework in both test and real app.
[EDIT]
Newsflash: this seems to be related to the UIElement I drag from being a drop target as well.
When I commented out the Drop event handlers, it dragged successfully.
Tricky, I need to be able to drop to it as well... mm....
[EDIT 2]
In my drop code I added some UIElement.MouseCapture() call. this was what prevented my code from working!

I have a TreeView with EditableTextBlock in my HierarchicalDataTemplate for the TreeViewItems.
Now I have a focus problem.. when I navigate the TreeView with arrow key, the EditableTextBlock don't have Focus so I can't handle F2 (to start editing).
And also, I made my EditableTextBlock focusable, and now I have to press the directional arrow twice to change selected node with keyboard arrows...
How could I gracefully handle that, i.e.
1. arrow key down to change selected node
2. my EditableTextBlock has default an / or I can capture F2
[EDIT]
Nevermind, found a solution! 
Added a property on my EditableTextBlock
FrameworkElement FocusableContainer
And listening to key event on this container.

Hi, I'm a bit late on WPF, I've developed c# Windows Forms for the last 10 years. Now I'm in the Xamarin world and I like the MVVM pattern.
I was thinking to move to WPF for Desktop developement (I need to support Windows 7).
I found myself very pleased to read the book Xamarin in action, I was looking for a great book on WPF.
Thanks.
Gassus.

Bonjour,
Lors de saisi une date erronée un cadre en rouge s'affiche en regroupant le textbox + l'icone de calendrier par contre je veux que le cadre entoure le textbox seulement.
Merci de consulter l'image ci-dessous.
https://i.postimg.cc/76mk2NFF/Capture1.jpg[^]
<datepicker>
<datepicker.selecteddate>
<binding path="DateDeb" stringformat="d" validatesondataerrors="True">
<binding.validationrules>
<communpresentation:regledatevalide>
<datepicker.resources>
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<CommunPresentation:MaskedTextbox Mask="##/##/####" Text="{Binding Path=DateDeb}" />
</controltemplate>
</setter.Value>
</setter>
|

Please post questions in English.
S'il vous plaît poser des questions en anglais.
Google Translate: When typing a wrong date a red frame is displayed by grouping the textbox + the calendar icon by cons I want the frame surrounds the textbox only.
Please see the image below.

I'm creating a style for a button. This style creates a circle with an arrow in it. The problem is that when I mouse ever it the effect shows the button highlight.
Here's my code:
<Style x:Key="backButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Ellipse Grid.Column="0"
Grid.Row="0"
Canvas.Top="2"
Canvas.Left="2"
Fill="Transparent"
Height="35"
Width="35"
StrokeThickness="2"
Stroke="#6E6E6E"
Margin="2"
x:Name="part_ellipse"/>
<Path Grid.Column="0"
Grid.Row="0"
Margin="12,10,0,0"
Fill="#6E6E6E"
Data="M 0 10 L 10 0 L 10 20 Z"
x:Name="part_path"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="part_ellipse" Property="Fill" Value="#CCCCCC" />
<Setter TargetName="part_path" Property="Fill" Value="#CCCCCC" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
How do I remove the button's MouseOver effect?

late reply.. you probably figure out the obvious by now  but...
Remove that trigger!!!
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="part_ellipse" Property="Fill" Value="#CCCCCC" />
<Setter TargetName="part_path" Property="Fill" Value="#CCCCCC" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

Hello everyone,
I've tried to follow the steps described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30751663/how-to-change-mahapps-metro-dialog-content-template-width
Here, I can't understand by which way is called "newly customized" modal-dialog window.
I've tried a way that was offered at mahapps home page. This way works and calls modal-dialog window as though there was nothing customized at all. In other words mahapps.modal window is called by default.
private async void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
await this.ShowMessageAsync("Attention", "The product is out of range");
}
Any ideas please?
