Hi there, in my app, I want to allow user to change the style of the individual WPF element, say Button, Label etc and when it is changed, the app should show the modified style for that element. Additionally, I want to load these modifiable elements as the user chooses to modify.
For eg. consider there is a listbox listing all the style modifiable UI elements.
When user selects MyStyleButton, the app should show the button with last customized style. Then the user should be able to customize the look and feel say color using the color picker.
When the user opens the app next time, he should see the changes color.
The same can be though of if the user selects say MyStyleLabel from listbox, and changes the porperty say Font. So how should I load the desired Label, how should I store the changed style values?
Also how can I load those customization UI, like ColorPicker given say I have stored "Color" in the Tag property of the button and "Font" for label.
Please help. I have started learning WPF. So I am not a Pro in WPF, but good at C#.NET, ASP.NET and ADO.NET. I didnt got reply on msdn.  I am in hurry. So pleaseeeeeeee help. Thank you.

I'm not surprised you did not get a response, do you actually have a business case for this interface or is it something you have thought up? To me it sounds like a nightmare, but then I'm a LOB developer.

Unfortunately, what you are trying to achieve is actually quite complex, requiring quite a bit of plumbing work; including storing and retrieving these values, managing binding to the items, and much, much more. You may be in a hurry, but I doubt anyone is going to have the time to help you come up with a complete solution here.

Thanks alot for atleast commenting. Actually late but finally I got some response on MSDN here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wpf/thread/abc3c8e2-2105-4d2e-9276-de6ff9c22475?prof=required[^]
Now what I have thought, I will create a custom styled WPF buttons, and store its properties in separate XML, when user selects any of them, I will retrieve the properties from XML and when user changes the properties I will change Xml. Rough idea. And yes I will be using list to store mapping between control name and Xml element.
Any thoughts? Anything that can help solve any of the part of my effort. Like in that MSDN thread, I got clue to use Xml Data Source. Actually nice suggestion. What you think. Should I use XML data source or XML API like XmlReader?
Thank you for your reply. You guys are seriously caring.

How quickly do you need this? I am seriously slammed this week working on a couple of articles for Code Project, but if you could wait until next week, I could knock up a blog post on a simple way to do this using MVVM principles.

Thanks man, but I have very less time in hand. Hmm... just a week. Fine but I feel still it will be great to just do, since such scenario is quite rare and some people will surely come across it. Though I want to show the output within a week, I have a thought of extending my work for more time after I show the output, since I am seriously loving what I am doing and want to take things to perfection. If you get the time and you feel that other people will like it, just do that.
Anyway thanks a lot. And yes any quick advice to do this quickly

If you want to see how others have handled theming, you might want to take a look at this[^] project. The code is freely available, and simple to understand.

Is this related to Silverlight somehow? If so, what code do you currently have? Without that, it will be hard to guide you further.

You can host Silverlight on a Linux server! Really...

Is it possible to drag items (e.g. images) out of a Silverlight 5 application and drop it to another target (on desktop)? Any ideas if and how this is working? I guess this would be only possbile running the application out-of-browser with elevated trust settings enabled.

This example shows how to drop items INTO a Silverlight application and only mentions that "you cannot drag and drop objects between applications". I also think the link you posted is from 2009. Maybe in Silverlight 5 it is possible to drop FROM the Silverlight app TO another application?

Uhm how do you expect Silverlight to manage the target application, that is where you need to deal with the drop operation. If you could embed the target in the Silverlight app you may have a chance (like the old com object in winforms) but you can't do that anyway.

Hello guys!
First I want to say that I'm quite new to WPF and XAML programming languages.
I'm currently trying to make a calendar (Custom Control) in WPF and to be onest I'm not quite sure how to approach this task. Although I've searched all over the internet I couldn't find a pleasing answer. This is the link where I've found some ideas:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2125987/create-a-custom-full-sized-calendar-control[^]
Right now I'm thinking on making 3 diffrent Custom Controls which will get combined to create the Calendar. The explications are in the image below:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/explicatii.jpg/[^]
I've chosen this approach because will be very easy to create the design and the effects on MouseOver and MouseClick events, but the main problem with it is that I'm not sure on how I can create the logistics of the Calendar:
1st problem: How to bind the data between all of this Controls in order to create the logistics of a basic Calendar;
2nd problem: If the appoiment is longer than 1 day is there a chance to bind the data between this and the next Custom Control (this day and next day, because every day will be a Costum Control).
My question is if this is a good approach? And, if it isn't could you please help me out with some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
