Use AddChild instead.

Hi i am using WPf for my app.

I have created a button. I disabled that button by default. I want to enable that button in some other file( not code behind) in the project at some point of time according to my logic ( in different cs file). How can i access that button?

Does any one have any idea how to do this.

Santhapur.

You can use the LogicalTreeHelper class to find the button. Alternatively, you can use the FindName method in the FrameworkElement class.

I have a Windows Form app communicating with a remote web service. Up until now, the app was a .Net 2.0 app using Web Services. Today, I converted the app to 3.5 so I could use WCF. I created a "Service Reference", and it created a bunch of files, and subsequently added stuff to the projects app.config file. I would rather have the stuff in code rather than the app.config file. Where can I get guidance on moving it to where I want it?

All of the elements in the config file can be moved into code. This[^] book makes a good stab at showing what goes where.

I have that book (and this is my first foray into the wonderfully stupid world of WPF), but...

One of the generated files is called Reference.cs - it's got 10,000 lines of code in it - geeze! All of the classes are partial. What am I supposed to do with them?

So little documentation - and even less time... :/

But so much autogenerated code. If you have an area that you need moving over, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

Hi All,

When I first started out on WPF I found a tool called Snoop ... I couldn't ever get it to work reliably.

Well ... its had a complete overhaul ... !

Works like a charm and now has an MSI installer too!

No problem Paul. I was so frustrated with the old version since I could see how useful it would be if it worked properly.

This app is really great.

This is just a quick question to point me in the right direction.

I want to write some sort of custom control (so far a UserControl) that will basically be defined as a TextBlock, and certain parts of that text block need to be customized by properties by the user of the usercontrol.

So I get that I can define entire properties, but how do I provide part of a property for something like a TextBlock?

For example, suppose I want a user control that creates a TextBlock with the contents "Hello {name}, how are you today?", where {name} is specified as a property of the user control.

I'm thinking something like ASPX would be nice here, how you can render an output... I don't suppose WPF has anything like that... where I can just "render" the XAML for a custom control?

The journey to WPF enlightenment continues... Cool | :cool:

Anything you can do in XAML, you can do in code - that's ultimately what XAML boils down to. So it's fairly trivial to implement something like this in code. e.g.

TextBlock textBlock1 = new TextBlock();
textBlock1.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap;
textBlock2.Background = Brushes.AntiqueWhite;
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Run("Hello "));
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Bold(new Run(userName)));
textBlock1.Inlines.Add(new Run(", how are you today?"));

Alternatively, you can add your items via XAML directly just by using three TextBlocks. Two of these blocks would be static, the third would bind to the user name.
