Hi
I've had 'Expression Blend 2.5 June 2008 Preview' , when I wanna test my project (F5) instead of my App this [^]page show and I can't test my project anymore.
By the way I've installed 'Silverlight.2.0' .
What's wrong with it ?

It's looking for a version of Silverlight that isn't installed, and that you wouldn't want to install (basically it's one of the beta versions). You need to upgrade your version of Blend to use the Silverlight SP.

Hi.
Is it possible to create a window that everything in back of it show with Blur effect !
Something like this[^] or this[^]
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
This effect is the Aero glass effect, and if you want it to extend you can use a technique like this[^].
|
|
|
|
|
It sounds to execute only on vista ! 
|
|
|
|
|
Well yes - that is true, but there are "alternative" versions - e.g. this[^] one.

does anyone came across about something about that?
I have a UserControl containing a Label and a TextBox. During Designtime I want a nice looking adorner that enables me to size them. Right now I have a adorner with a slider, that is no problem. But even only I use this right now, I dont like this solution.
thanks in advance for any further hints or information!
Cheers, Christoph

Do you want to extend the current Visual Studio TextBox and Label controls as you are designing them in the WPF Designer, Cider?

Hello Karl,
well I want to have a simple usercontrol with multiple controls in it, anything.
lets say a label and a textbox (both in a DockPanel)
UserControl:
---------------------
| Label | Textbox |
---------------------
When I have this control in the WPF Designer (Cider), I want to be able to drag a resize adorner
either to left or right, so the DockPanel/CtrlSize is changed.
---------------------
| Label <|> Textbox |
---------------------
I managed to have a adorner with a slider bound to a UserControl-DP. but I am struggeling to find
the right entry point/design to have a draggable Sizing adorner. I cannot see how I can get to manage
the mouse-events etc.
any help or hint is welcome

I did some trials with a gridsplitter (inside grid) as an adorner.
Somehow I did not manage to bind the GridColumnDefinition.WidthProperty succesful,
but surely this should be possible. But as soon I had it in prototype I realized
how good the slider was I already had, it supports snap to values. This suits the
needs very good, so I try now to have a custom skin/theme on the slider in order to look
a little nicer.
Thanks anyway and cheers, Christoph

Hi!
After searches on google and the built in help of visual studio, I tried to get an answer on this question in the MSDN forum, but nobody seems to answer there. I hope i get better results here!
Here's my (slightly edited) post i posted on the MSDN forum:
Hi,
I'd like to make a List<int> property in a custom control, and, when I add that custom control to the main window of the application, want to be able to edit, add and remove elements from that list. The problem is that I can't edit the items in the designer.
I did the following:
1. Create a WPF application
2. Add a Custom Control (WPF)
3. Changed the code in the CustomControl1 class to the following:
public class CustomControl1 : Control
{
static CustomControl1()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(CustomControl1), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(CustomControl1)));
}
private List<int> _intlist = new List<int>();
public List<int> intlist
{
get { return _intlist; }
set { _intlist = value; }
}
}
} </int></int></int>
4. Added the namespace to the XAML file of the Window1.xaml from the main WPF application
xmlns:CustCtrl1NameSpace="clr-namespace:WpfApplication3"
5. Added the control to the Grid
<Grid>
<CustCtrl1NameSpace:CustomControl1/>
</Grid>
After i did this, i expected to be able to see and edit the List<int> intlist in the designer, but i can only see it. If i click on the button with the three dots on it on the intlist property in the designer, I get the window to edit it, but everything is grayed out!
I really tried alot of things, and i ran out of ideas now.
Hope you can help me,
Vincent

Sorry I do not know the answer to this but maybe this will throw into a new direction of thought...
When the item editor window comes up and there isn't anything to add to your list, wouldn't you have to define somewhere the items that could be added to the list so the editor window would be able to display those items?
Why is common sense not common?

Yes, i thought about that. But where is somewhere? I thought it would be easy to see for the designer because its a List<INT>..
Thanks!

I tried to google it, but I really don't know what words to search to.
I tried also if i was able to add an element in the constructor of the class. That's possible.
While thinking about this I got another idea: the grid contains a ColumnDefinitionCollection. I went searching for the sourcecode, but i can only find some sort of referencesource at http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols. I just can't find out how to get sourcecode with that, I just need to look inside the Grid c# file! Does anybody know how to do this?
A last idea was with the use of something with the [ ] things in front of the property, but i don't know where to place these and what i should put in there (something in the System.ComponentModel namespace?).
Thanks for all your help!
Vincent

I found this for you:
http://blogs.msdn.com/jgalasyn/archive/2007/10/29/troubleshooting-wpf-designer-load-failures.aspx[^]" which talks about, "If you want your custom control to load in the WPF Designer, you must provide CLR get and set methods for any dependency properties that you have defined. For more information, see Custom Dependency Properties."
but this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb546970.aspx[^] seemed to be more like what you are looking for,
"Editors can be either inline editors, which allow you edit values directly in the Properties window, or extended editors, which allow you to provide an additional UI for editing a property outside of the Properties window"
Good luck

Thanks! it looks a bit complicated, but i'll try to make something out of it.

AAAh dammn this is so annoying. I just don't get your samples. I try to get them working but it just seems it isn't what i'm looking for. How did microsoft do this when building the Grid.ColumnDefinitions? Why can't i find out how to do this.
Back to the first thing i found, indexers, maybe that is an idea? I can create them and make them visible in the designer, but then i get a strange string value (so now button with three dots to edit a list or something)
I'm so sorry i just don't get it and keep annoying you with my questions..
Thanks, a thousand times,
Vincent
