Re: Binding two comboboxes in WPF

This is the general logic:

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource mySource}}">
  <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" />
  <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding}" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" />
</StackPanel>

Obviously, you need to put your binding source into the context, and the paths you want to work with (plus any item templates you see fit), but this should get you started.

Using application settings on a DataTemplate markup [modified]

Binding a property to a setting worked:

<Window x:Class="test"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:prop="clr-namespace:GTOWPF"
    Height="{Binding Source={x:Static prop:Settings.Default}, Path=Win1H}"
    Width="300">

Binding a property inside a datatemplate:

<Window x:Class="test"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:prop="clr-namespace:GTOWPF"
    Height="100"
    Width="300">
    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="Test">
            <Grid Height="{Binding Source={x:Static prop:Settings.Default}, Path=Win1H}">
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>
</Window>

Doesn't work,
Only public classes can be used in markup. 'Settings' type is not public.

Any sugestions? Confused | :confused:

The setting class is a generated class I think.
In the help it says there is an "Access Modifier" (I don't have it!) in the Properties --> Settings page. If you can find this change it to public.

Aah, more here

Resource not found

I keep getting the following message:

System.Windows.ResourceDictionary Warning: 9 : Resource not found; ResourceKey='#FF646464'; ResourceKey.HashCode='47980820'; ResourceKey.Type='System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush'

How do I find out what is causing that?

Did you figure this out yet?

Just a wild guess, but that "ResourceKey='#FF646464'" looks like
an ARGB color associated with a ResourceKey somehow - maybe some
malformed XAML defining a brush somewhere...

While working on a WPF app, I thought I should try and be proper, and honour the color scheme on the host system, rather than inflicting my idea of colors on to the user, and I got this error too.

I was making a ListView control template that adds a border, and hence I started to add "IsSelected" triggers to highlight focused items. The color values I used were things like:

{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightColor}}
{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextColor}}
{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlDarkColor}}

If I now run my app, I get a bunch of debug message like

System.Windows.ResourceDictionary Warning: 9 : Resource not found; ResourceKey='#FF000000'
System.Windows.ResourceDictionary Warning: 9 : Resource not found; ResourceKey='#FFB2B4BF'

Reverting to hard coded colours removes the problem.

In response to a recent blog entry[^] by Josh Smith where he talks about the default scope of XAML variables, and how to change them to private, I've updated MoXAML PowerToys[^] to automatically search for elements in your XAML with the x:Name attribute set (and without the FieldModifier set). Any matches automatically get x:FieldModifier="private" added to them.

Finding objects displayed through data template

dimaj13-Jan-09 12:21

Hello All!

I'm trying to test a WPF application which displays most of the information using DataTemplates. The problem that I'm facing right now is that data in the template is not visible neither by the UI Automation framework nor by the UISpy tool.

Has anyone seen this behavior?

Suggestions are appreciated.

I am also facing the same problem. Seems 'Project white' or UI Automation framework for WPF is not stabilized. Seems some IBM automation test tool captures events of WPF which UISpy cannot.

Resource A = Resource B??

Is it possible to assign a resource to another resource? For example, if I have a SolidColorBrush named MyBursh01, can I make a MyBrush02 that has the same values as MyBrush01, or can I make a Rectangle named Rect2 and make it = Rect1?

I am referring to making it in XAML not C#

Thanks

You could always use BasedOn to do this when it comes to using one style as a basis for another.

DataGridCell Template with WPF Toolkit Datagrid

Michael Sync13-Jan-09 5:13

Michael Sync

13-Jan-09 5:13

Hello All,

How can I use the DataGridCell Template with WPF Toolkit Datagrid. I like to create a Cell Template and like to apply that template for all cells.

For example:

<Style or something x:Key="myDGCellTemplate">
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="AA" />
<Textbox Text={Binding .} />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Style or something>

<toolkit:DataGrid x:Name="myDataGrid" ItemSource="{Binding myDataSource}"
CellTempleteORSomething={StaticResource myDGCellTemplate}" AutoGenerateColumns=True>
</toolkit:DataGrid>

#2.

Can I use "." in Binding? As the column will be generated dynamically based on the Data Source, I don't know the column name. So, I want to set whatever column that I got to the textbox.

Thanks in advance.
<Textbox Text={Binding .} />

Thanks and Regards,
Michael Sync ( Blog: http://michaelsync.net)

WPF Reporting Concerns

Is it just me or is anyone else very much dismayed at the lack of real line of business capabilities of WPF?

I am producing a line of business app, which early on was decided to use WPF. Admitedly this was partly my decision, because the client needed a windows solution; my background was ASP.Net development so I thought the nearest thing would be to use WPF. Having been around for a few years I never dreamt that it would be so poor.

I have hit so many stumbling blocks along the way. Working for a small client, in the middle of a recesion, they do not have the budget to purchase every third party tool and utility, so I have had to work with what Microsoft makes available in .Net.

Firstly, I got hit with the Datagrid. Not being released until late October, i still get an error trying to add a combobox to it. I am waiting for version 2. the (free) Xceed grid is not much better, with its own (different) set of inadequecies.

Now, I thought that any line of business application would require some sort of output. I need to produce invloices. The requirement is that one or more invoice is printed at one time; each one consists of a customer, seller brand, page header, items, and sub totals, etc. (typical invoice stuff). There seems to be no reporting mechnism in WPF. I have tried Crystal, but apart from hating their run-time deployment issues, and the fact that it doesnt seem to work with LINQ, I am at a stumbling block there. I have tried RDLC in VS 2008. Fortunatly that works with LINQ, but the designer seems very weak, and the functionality of the whole thing is not a patch on Crystal (I hate to say). I have considered building XAML but I need to export to Excel, and have page headers. I am at a loss and the sh-- it about to hit the fan.

Is this just me being stupid? Because WPF seems great at funky, good looking demo applications; but not true line of business apps?

Cheers

Have you tried SQL Server Reporting Services? It's free and works great.

Thanks for the reply Karl.

I have tried SQL Reporting Services. My App is deployed locally on client laptops using SQL Express, so I think I am limited in what I have available. When I compared the two offerings within VS 2008; SSRS and Crystal, I found Crystal to be more flexible. I liked being able to bind SSRS reports to LINQ, but thought the flexibility of grouping and custom formulas in Crystal where more important.

Does that make sense? I was wondering if I missed something with SSRS, because it just seemed so basic to me.

I've used SSRS since it came out, for complex systems. SSRS has custom formulas and grouping. Also, you can use SSRS on Laptops. You can also use the Report Viewer Control and create the reports locally and not even install SSRS on the laptops. Check out the TWO modes the Report Viewer Control renders reports.
