Hi, in our win forms program we get the bitmap of an activeX control (its the Microsoft mappoint control) using the PrintWindow() function in User32.dll, this works fine.
Now we are moving our program over to wpf. The technique still works as it did until the activeX control is not visible, any part of the control that is not showing on the screen justs comes out as black.
It is as if in wpf the control is not drawn unless it is on screen.
Is there a way we can force it to draw the bitmap of the control?
thanks.

Hi,
How to roll(automatically moving from bottom to top) data in datagrid in silverlight?
please help me..
|
|
|
|
|
So what ideas have you got, what have you tried and what didn't work?
Do you want the control in xaml?
Are you using a viewmodel?
I can think of a number of ways to do it via a viewmodel.

ya. i want the control in xaml.
i am not using any viewmodel.

Try DataGrid.ScrollIntoView(item, column);
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

It is for up to particular column or row. i don't want to particular column or row. i want to continuously move whole data in data grid from bottom to top like marquee in html. i.e if data is coming to end then it again move from beginning.

Hi,
I know it's not completely related to this section, but I'm developing a silverlight application that is going to get user advertises in image and video format.
I'm ambigious about saving the content in db as binary or saving the files and in server hard and just putting the pathes in DB.
It shoud has a lot of advertises.
Which approach I shoud select?
Best wishes

I'm just finalising my application, lots of photos and forms to be up/down loaded and I'm still ambiguous. I opted for the file path but just ran across an issues where they may want files with the same name, debated moving to the database but decided to prefix the file with the ID from the database instead.
I struggled getting the DB operations to be consistently reliable.

The normal method for doing this is to give each file a unique name (say generated as a GUID), and store the unique name against the original name in the database.

I hadn't thought of the guid, I hadn't thought much about it at all which is not good. Prefixing with the record id will at least leave me with a readable file name.

Don't worry about it - you've created a perfectly valid way of making the file name unique. The Guid approach is just one such approach.

Using a GUID for a filename also makes it impossible to identify a file if yuo have to manually wade throuh a directory to find something.

Of those two file names, which one is picture of your dog, and which is the picture of some sweet young thing at the beach that your wife doesn't know you snapped a picture of?

That's what the database is for.

Pete may have a point here, my wife has absolutely no idea how a database works.

I was talking about the files being on disk. If they're actually in the database, you should be safe.

Thats got to be the fastest response I have ever seen. Normally there is a few minutes delay while you think about it.
OR did you edit the original question!

Hi!
I have added a hyperlink in silverlight.
But when i click on the link it displays a blue rectangular border for the size of the hyperlink control.
The link opens a popup window, so this doesn't look so good on the webpage.
<HyperlinkButton x:Name="History"
Content="History"
Margin="0"
FontFamily="Arial"
FontSize="10.667"
Click="HistoryHyperlinkButton_Click"
Foreground="Black"
FontWeight="Bold" Background="{x:Null}" Cursor="Hand"
BorderThickness="0"
/>
Is there a way to disable this or have i missed somethink?
|

One way is to set the IsTabStop="False" on the button.
The other way, more correct but tedious, is to style the hyperlink button to modify the focussed state of the state manager.
For this you will need to either use Expression Blend or pick up the style from msdn and then modify and use it.

I see a large body of work on handling dialogs amidst the MVVM WPF application, but I am having a tough time finding a good example of a standard Folder browser dialog. I want to browse for a folder and then get a list of files from the selected directory.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Cheers, --EA

I would use an IOC container like a simple ServiceLocator and implement a simple dialog service. Some of the MVVM frameworks already have this. Both a ServiceLocator and a DialogService are pretty trivial to implement.
|
|
|
|

Seems like a lot of pomp and circumstance to me to get a string value from the client. I have looked at the MVVM Light Toolkit and a couple of the other examples out there and just thought it seemed like an awful lot of code for a simple request. I guess that is why they pay us the "big bucks" though.
Thank you for your insight,
Cheers, --EA
