You could do this using a ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames as in the following sample:

  x:Class="FadeSample.Window1"

  x:Name="Window"
  Title="Window1"
  Width="640" Height="480">
  <Window.Resources>
    <Storyboard x:Key="OnClick1">
      <ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames 
        BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="button" 
        Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)">
        <SplineColorKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:01" Value="#FFEF1407"/>
      </ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
    </Storyboard>
  </Window.Resources>
  <Window.Triggers>
    <EventTrigger 
      RoutedEvent="ButtonBase.Click" SourceName="button">
      <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource OnClick1}"/>
    </EventTrigger>
  </Window.Triggers>

  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Button 
      HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
      VerticalAlignment="Top" 
      Content="Button" 
      RenderTransformOrigin="3.339,5.055"

Need help with styling a groupbox

18-Aug-09 4:55

Okay I understand how this works, but in the sample you gave me the Storyboard.TargetProperty is = (Panel.Background). How would I specify the animation to applied to a ModelVisual3D(3D model) instead? Also remember, the ModelVisual3D's aren't specified in the xaml, it get's rendered at runtime.

Re: Need help with styling a groupbox

15-Aug-09 9:50

Hi
I defined a Style in my xaml to be used on all Groupboxes, but there's ONE groupbox's background property that has to be different from the others. I tried setting this property in the code behind, but no luck. Any ideas?

Here's the code for the style:

<!--A style that formats all groupboxes--><br />
       <Style TargetType="GroupBox"><br />
           <Setter Property="Template"><br />
               <Setter.Value><br />
                   <ControlTemplate TargetType="GroupBox"><br />
                       <Grid><br />
                           <Grid.RowDefinitions><br />
                               <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/><br />
                               <RowDefinition Height="*"/><br />
                           </Grid.RowDefinitions><br />
                           <Border Grid.Row="0" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="2,2,2,1" CornerRadius="0,12,0,0" ><br />
                               <ContentPresenter Margin="4" ContentSource="Header" RecognizesAccessKey="True" /><br />
                           </Border><br />
                           <Border Grid.Row="1" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="2,0,2,2" CornerRadius="0,0,0,12" ><br />
                               <ContentPresenter Margin="4" /><br />
                           </Border><br />
                       </Grid><br />
                   </ControlTemplate><br />
               </Setter.Value><br />
           </Setter><br />
       </Style>

If all you need to do is have one groupbox that behaves slightly differently to the others in it's styling, all you need to do is create a new style that targets a groupbox, and give it a key. By default, (as long as you add it after the groupbox above) it will inherit the settings of the groupbox, and you can change the background property as appropriate. All you need do then is apply the style to the groupbox in question - you have the key to use here.

This is exactly my question, how do I apply this specific style to the specific groupbox?

Hi
I may have trouble to explain my problem but I will try. I have made a
Silverlight Application, in which I added a WCF Service. I added the
servicereference to the project. When I run it in VS it works great and when
I publish it in IIS it works great. But when I'm trying to deploy or what
it's called on the webserver, it gives me the error 405 . I can see in the web development helper that it doesn't download, or what that is called, the
clientaccesspolicy.xml. The clientaccesspolicy.xml and crossdomain.xml file
are placed in the root.

This is my web.config

 <system.serviceModel>
  <behaviors>
   <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="AcceditWeb.Web.ServiceBehavior">
     <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
     <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
    </behavior>
   </serviceBehaviors>
  </behaviors>
  <services>
   <service behaviorConfiguration="AcceditWeb.Web.ServiceBehavior"

    </endpoint>
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" 
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
   </service>
  </services>
 </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

This is my ServiceReference.config which is placed in AcceditWeb.xap in the directory
ClientBin

<code>lt;configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>

contract="ServiceReference.IService"
          name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" />

This is my clientaccesspolicy.xml file

        <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
      </grant-to>
    </policy>
  </cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>

This is my crossdomain.xml file

You are publishing to an IIS server, correct?

Is the server you are publishing to configured for Silverlight[^]?

Is the endpoint address in your ServiceReferences.ClientConfig correct?

Can you connect to the service with the WCF Test Client[^] ?

Hi thanks for your answer.

Yes I think they are using IIS 5, as web development helper says.

I don't know if the server we are hosting to are configured for Silverlight.

I think the endpointadress is right. It has the adress where the service.svc is placed.
http://website.teliaweb.se/service.svc

No I can not connect to the service with WcfTestClient.exe. I get this error messages.

Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata.

and

It looks like IIS isn't configured right to host the WCF service.

Are you able to get the Silverlight app or is an error returned there too?

I can run the silverlight application but when I'm using the wcf service I'm getting the error, nothing happens. I can see in the web development helper that the clientaccesspolicy.xml isn't reached. And the clientaccesspolicy.xml is placed in the root.

Thanks. It wasn't clear (to me) when you were getting the error.

fiaolle wrote:

I don't see anything indicating a cross-domain issue so I believe
that's irrelevant at the moment.

I don't think your WCF service is starting.

I've never used IIS 5 for WCF (or ASP.NET) so I'm no help with configuration.
Maybe Adam's link will help.

The error indicates a problem at the time the .SVC file is used, and since your
WCF service runs fine on your local IIS server, I don't think there's a problem there.
That's why I think there's an IIS configuration issue on the target machine.

WindowState.Maximized -- How to get the proper size of the window? [modified]

Cristoff13-Aug-09 22:01

Cristoff

13-Aug-09 22:01

I have a borderless window. A double click on it maximizes it - WindowState.Maximized and WindowStyle set to None.

Now I'm trying to get the proper size of that window so that I resize the internal controls.

My screen resolution is: 1280 x 800

SystemParameters.MaximizedPrimaryScreenWidth 1288.0 double
SystemParameters.MaximizedPrimaryScreenHeight 778.0 double

What are these two properties supposed to return actually? Why the width is larger than my screen and the other one smaller?

(on my screen visually the windows is OK)

---> Gets a value that indicates the height, in pixels, of a maximized top-level window on the primary display monitor.
---> Gets a value that indicates the width, in pixels, of a maximized top-level window on the primary display monitor.

???

Or

SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenWidth - 1280
SystemParameters.FullPrimaryScreenHeight - 744

What is the proper way to get the system metrics in WPF? Or there isn't one?

SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth
SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight

Hi,

How can I add dynamic image to the WPF Expander Control, so that, I can change it from the code behind.

I have created a CustomControl by inheriting the Expander control. I exposed a DependencyProperty named IconSource. I modified the HeaderTemplate by adding an Image.

Now my problem is, how can I change the source of that image inside the Header Template after the modification of the IconSource dependency property?

Can anyone please help me regarding that?

This is not a Silverlight problem. In the web.config file, you need the following section:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="nnn" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

Set nnn to be the appropriate size in KB.

Hi,
I have:
Class Persn with name and age props

class Manager with List<person> and event for any change occurs (name changed, person added to list etc.)

on the xaml.cs I have ObservableCollection with get to that list from manager. a listVier is bind to that observable

my problem is how to make the ui to refresh when that event of change is raised.

How can I implement that Observable and control the CollectionChanged?

thanks.

Re: Controlling the ObservableCollection rendering

Kunal Chowdhury «IN»14-Aug-09 0:53

If u r using ObservableCollection & binded properly to the UI, then it will automatically refresh the UI thread as ObservableCollection automatically triggers INotifyPropertyChanged events.

So, no need to bother about it. Let me know, if you are facing any issue regarding the same...

Re: Controlling the ObservableCollection rendering

Pete O'Hanlon14-Aug-09 1:13

14-Aug-09 1:13

It sounds like you've got your ObservableCollection in the wrong place. You need to change the List in Manager into an ObservableCollection, so that add and delete events are raised appropriately. Basically, you've wrapped the List up in something that will never see the changes without you explicitly raising a notification, which seems to be a little bit pointless.
