how to effectively get the coordinates

When handling mouse events, you can use the GetPosition() method
on the MouseEventArgs/MouseButtonEventArgs object to get the
coordinates relative to an element.

You can also use System.Windows.Input.Mouse.GetPosition() to
get the current coordinates relative to an element.

Hey guys,

I did search for such a method, and didn't find one. Guess why...

Somehow I managed to click the KeyDown event instead of the MouseDown one OMG | :OMG:

Anyway, thanks for the helping Smile | :)

Cheers!

I'm probably doing something stupid wrong here, but my event handler for the MouseDown event is not getting called when I click on my canvas. Anyone an idea what I'm messing up?

Curious if I'm failing at C# or at WPF here Smile | :)

Cheers!

Silverlight ComboBox Binding Issue [modified]

Programm3r30-Dec-09 2:18

30-Dec-09 2:18

Hi all,

I am making use of a DataForm to display my data. I have made use of the DataForm edit template to customize the layout of the form. Data is returned and is being displayed within the DataForm. The problem is that, as soon as I start navigating (2 navigation clicks) with the DataFrom, only the ComboBox 'looses' it's binding on the SelectedItem (although it's selected item was data bound and then it just goes blank Confused | :confused:

).

The back end code consists of a generic list List<string> and a string variable that has the value of each data item that is returned.

..
public List<string> Category { get; set; }
public string CategoryName { get; set; }
..

The XAML code:

...
<dataFormToolkit:DataField DescriptionViewerPosition="Auto" LabelPosition="Left" LabelVisibility="Visible" Label="Category">
    <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Category}"  SelectedItem="{Binding CategoryName, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</dataFormToolkit:DataField>
...

Any reason why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards

Hey. This problem has been bugging me a lot lately - Something really odd is happening in the framework. What's happening is the data field control is modifying the bindings on the control and re-setting them. Setting the SelectedItem works fine, but when it comes to re-set the ItemsSource property the binding for the *SelectedItem* property *vanishes* without a trace.

The only workaround I have at the moment is to make the ItemsSource binding TwoWay, and ensuring that the property it's bound to is read-only. This stops the code from modifying the ItemsSource binding.

However, I'm now finding that the bindings are disappearing under other circumstances as well (it looks like it's happening occasionally when there is more than 1 combo box in the form) - I haven't solved that one yet.

Cheers,
Mike

WndProc equivalent in WPF?

Is there a single method in WPF that can handle all types of input at once, like WndProc in Windows Forms? Or do I have to capture and forward each event separately?

Thanks for your reply.

Of course, it should do the job. Anyway, it seems to be a pretty strange work-around. You're provided with dozens of overridable methods for handling input, but you have to use native hooks...

That's the way the ScrollViewer is designed to work.
The ScrollViewer uses a fixed-size viewport to view a
portion of the scrollable content.

Data class implementations not fully passed to Silverlight?

Michael Eber28-Dec-09 11:56

Michael Eber

28-Dec-09 11:56

Here is my scenario:
Data Layer : running as an simple web service as required by Silverlight
Entities are generated from the database tables
An extended class is defined with the following additions:

public partial class CustomerMaster
{
    public override string ToString( )
    {
        return this.CustomerName;
    }
}
public partial class CustomerLocation
{
    public override string ToString( )
    {
        return this._LocationID;
    }
}

CustomerMaster and CustomerLocation are two entities derived from the database.

Silverlight side

When I get my data I bind a list box to the result of my async query.

I get the list of customers no problem.
But listbox calls ToString() on my objects and I'm getting the default behaviour (namespace) not my overridden code!!!???

Anyone know a reason why this would happen?

Methods are not part of the DataContract so they won't be available when you create the proxy for the client.

Hmm, well Do you want to draw a room or a grid?

3D WPF drawing is not really lines.

Here is a simple cube mesh:

// Define 3D mesh object
MeshGeometry3D mesh = new MeshGeometry3D();
// Front face
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(-0.5, -0.5, 1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(0.5, -0.5, 1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(0.5, 0.5, 1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(-0.5, 0.5, 1));
// Back face
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(-1, -1, -1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(1, -1, -1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(1, 1, -1));
mesh.Positions.Add(new Point3D(-1, 1, -1)); 

mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(0);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(1);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(2);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(2);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(3);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(0);
// Back face
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(6);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(5);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(4);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(4);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(7);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(6);
// Right face
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(1);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(5);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(2);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(5);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(6);
mesh.TriangleIndices.Add(2);

Hi friends.
Can we change ColumnDefinitions via a StoryBoard in WPF?
e.g : I wanna change the following ColumnDefinitions

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Height="0*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

to this one :

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Height="0.585*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Height="0.415*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

Thanks in advance.
