How can I make a Location-like collapsible properties?

You should be using the "data table" to create your chart series; not the "data grid".

Charting and "data grid viewing" are "parallel" operations on the same data source; one does not follow the other.

In Visual C#, I made a user control, which contains several separate "individual" properties. But I would like to make it into one. In which there is a plus sign in font of my property where users could click on it and expand it and access its members. Just like the property Location, Size, or Font.

I tried packaging all those properties into one class and use the class as the property type, but then I have no idea how to get or set the values! And the property just return the whole class as the value! There is NO plus sign for anybody to click!

PLEASE help me out! Thank you very VERY much! God bless you!!!

Have you looked at Design-Time Attributes for Components[^] ?

To create a Property like this you must create a Class-Object which holds the necessary Sub-Properties.
This Object should also use as TypeConverter the ExpandableObjectConverter.
Now you can use this Class-Object as Type for your Property.

Access a combobox defined in datatemplate

Hi,

I have defined a combobox inside a DataTemplate.
I would like to access the selected item through the SelectedItemChanged event.
Problem: the comboBox seems to be not accessible from code behind.

Could someone tell me how to proceed?

Your question is incongruent.

The simplest explanation is that the "code behind" you are "probably" looking for is wired to the following event handler:

SelectionChanged="controlAction_SelectionChanged"

Thank you Gerry for your reply,

Actually I had in mind to do a treatment, depending on the selected item. For that purpose, it is essential to determine which item was selected from controlActionComboBox.

But in the code behind I cannot address this comboBox through its name. That's the issue.
And I cannot figure out how to do what I have in mind.

Best regards,

RV

You can't wire up to an item in your DataTemplate directly. That's not the way that DataTemplates work. You'll need to do something like this[^] and then add the event handlers.

Linq to Update multiple fields in the list

21-Dec-17 1:02

Thank you Pete for your reply,

I've finally got the solution to this issue through:

string text = (((sender as ComboBox).SelectedItem) as ActionPicture).ImageName

Where ActionPicture is the picture enclosed in the selected. And ImageName is the name of that picture.

Best regards,

Rv

Start by renaming the method. A method that updates something should not be called Get...!

Fix the compilation error. The method is declared as returning a MyListViewModel, but it doesn't return anything.

Then provide a proper description of what you're trying to do, what you've tried, and where you're stuck.

How do you know when you've succeeded?

Is it: abc; Abc; ABC?

Simplest way?
Open the Design view on any form.
Open the Toolbox pane.
Close branches so you get "clear space".
Use Windows explorer to browse to the DLL or EXE file containing your controls.
Drag the Assembly file to the ToolBox and drop it there.

You can also create a new Tab first, and drop them on that if you want it a bit tidier.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Drag and drop dynamically a video from a media player to another container

Hervend19-Dec-17 1:19

Re: Drag and drop dynamically a video from a media player to another container

19-Dec-17 1:19

Hi everybody,

I'm currently developing an application in which I have to drag a video from in a media element into another container (let's say a kind of library). The video must keep playing in the media element and only a copy is "stored" in that library.

All the videos present in the library must be visible in order to eventually be reloaded (through drag and drop) into the media player for vizualization.

Have someone an idea on how this could be achieved?

Best regards,

RV

It sounds like you need to do a copy operation in the drag, see Performing Drag-and-Drop Operations[^]
