It doesn't look like Paint creates a new zoomed image, although that is
a possible approach.
It looks like Paint just stretches the "area-of-interest" designated by the rectangle
to a larger area of the window. There's no interpolation either - looks pretty pixelated.

Sorry,
UPDATE:
Got somewhat the image to expand, but I made a button to do that, which is below, problem is, I want the user to be able to click on the button and it zooms in closer and closer and closer etc until its a spec, same with zoom out. I am doing something wrong because everytime i press the button, it stays that size and doesnt go smaller or bigger. what am i doing wrong : (
buttonzoomin
{
photoviewer1.height = +200;
photoviewer1.width = +200;
}
buttonzoomout
{
photoviewer1.height = 100;
photoviewer1.width = 100;
}
I know i am close but if someone can tell me what am i doing wrong that would be great and save me from pulling any more hair!!
Thank you

What is photoviewer1?
Is that the actual way you coded it?

If you are wanting to increment the size of the image, you need to put the + before the =, i.e. +=. What you have said here is that you want the width and height to be 200.

Thanks for the information, Below is the code that is finally working, i decided to throw some stuff out such as the buttons and use the slider instead. But i have one problem, when you browse for the image and it uploads to the image object, for some strange reason it looks like it is already zoomed in, i want it to capture exactly how the image looks whenopening it in paint etc. I have the code below including the XAML to see if there is something i am doing wrong, thanks again and merry christmas eve everyone : )

I am using VS2008 SP1.
I have a solution with two projects.
Project A is a class library, and has a markup extension.
public class BadExtension : MarkupExtension
{
public string A { get; set; }
public string B { get; set; }
public BadExtension() { }
public BadExtension(string a) { this.A = a; }
public BadExtension(string a, string b) { this.A = a; this.B = b; }
public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { return A + B; }
}
Project B is a wpf project. Part of the code of a window is
<button grid.row="0" content="{l:Bad ItemA}" />
<button grid.row="1" content="{l:Bad ItemA, ItemB}" />
Now, the WPF designer refuses to load, saying that no constructor for BadExtension has 1 parameter.
However, when I run the app, it loads perfectly and both button texts display perfectly.
This is the kicker: In the BadExtension.cs file, if I switch the (string) and (string, string) constructors, the designer now complains about no constructor having 2 parameters.
p.s. Or should this be in the Visual Studio forum?

Looks like a bug in the VS designer.

It works fine in Expression Blend as well.

I have no idea why I didn't begin using Blend a long time ago, for it is so much better in many cases. I think I'll never use the vs wpf designer again, except for editing xaml.
|
|
|
|

I generally use both VS and blend at the same time....I'm getting more and more used to
which stuff works better on one or the other.
It's frustrating though - I hate having to leave something out or do something different
because something doesn't work in and/or crashes the designer(s).

I'm developing wpf application comprising of multiple usercontrols hosted in a main user control. This main user control can be hosted from winforms or wpf win app or a MSOffice Word Document Level Addin. Currently hosting the main user control from a winforms exe.
Whenever the application is minimized and restored, one of the user control hosting 3 itemscontrol (primarily a collection of textblock & textbox controls in a stackpanel) bound to custom objects, is always rendered blank. Upon resizing the window manually, it is displayed properly. I'm clueless, as to how to refresh the display to render the constituent controls in itemscontrol. Whereas hosting as a MSOffice Word Document Level Addin, even first time rendering, itemscontrol is blank.
I tried InvalidateVisual() & InvalidateMeasure() on the maincontrol and the concerened usercontrol, but of no use. Any help greatly appreciated.....
|
|
|
|
|
a shot in the dark here:
the PropertyMetadataOptions value passed in to the PropertyMetadata of a dependencyproperty that hosts the controls might affect how/when the rendering takes place.
|
|
|
|
|
How to change the propertymetadata options to make it work? Strange thing is if the window is resized or the control is resized manually from the window shown, the user control holding all items control displays properly.
I tried UpdateLayout on the main usercontrol, constituent user controls and also refresh on the windows form that hosting the main control, but no use!
How do I force a updatelayout on the wpf user control? UpdateLayout, InvalidateArrange, InvalidateVisual...nothing seems to work.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I found the bug. ItemControls were inside a 3rd party actipro navigation pane control. Once I removed the pane control and displayed the itemscontrol in a simple grid, voila, it worked.
Thanks for all the inputs. I'll escalate to Actipro Software. But learnt a lot on wpf layout though!

I was thinking about making a scaled down spreadsheet like on google docs but with silverlight. Anybody else try something similar to this yet?
Mine is only going to do simple math and have text and maybe span columns a-f and rows 1-50.
Right now the idea is to store the formulas in a separate database table from the values, and i'm going to use grammar like <math> and <text> for to denote what each cell does.
If anybody has any comments, it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Hi all!
Could you please help me with my problem. I am writing an app that allows users to drag controls over a canvas and have met the following strange behaviour: wpf performance slowsdowns as soon as a button on a form receives focus. This is so strange to me. I've posted a code of a sample app, please try to click on a red rectangle, and move the mouse holding left button. You should see that rectangle follows the cursor pretty fast. But if you click (or even press Tab to give the button a focus) and try to drag the rectangle again - you will see that now rectangle is not as fast as before.. The recrangle will be still slow if you click Tab again and give focus to the textbox.
Do you know why it happens and how I can avoid it?

{
Point position = e.GetPosition(this);
rect.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, position.X - rect.Width / 2);
rect.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, position.Y - rect.Height / 4);
}
}
}
}
Thanks,

Just a guess - The animated background, at least on the default Vista
theme, may be slowing things down *shrug*
FWIW - I played around with your code-behind a bit. Here's what I was using
(changes marked in red):
bool isDragging;
private void MyMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
<code>Mouse.Capture(rect);</code>
isDragging = true;
}
private void MyMouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
<code>if (isDragging)
{
Mouse.Capture(null);</code>
isDragging = false;
<code>}</code>
}
private void MyMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (isDragging)
{
Point position = e.GetPosition(<code>canvas</code>);
rect.SetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty, position.X - rect.Width / 2);
rect.SetValue(Canvas.TopProperty, position.Y - rect.Height / 4);
<code>e.Handled = true;</code>
}
}

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
You are right about Vista themes. I've noticed that this effect can be seen only on Vista with enabled Aero.. If Aero is disabled - everything works perfectly.
However with Aero turned on - I see performance decrease even with your corrections to my code.
Thanks,
Sergey.

In addition to Jammer's suggestion...
You can always use your own button template instead of the default
themed button template.

I've noticed that if you have a window with "Allows Transparency" set to true and then an animation that manipulates a UIElement Opacity setting things can get really juddery/slow ...
This maybe your problem ...
I really noticed it using an Infragistics Chart control and a popup window in one of my projects.
The chart is animatable and the colours used in the chart are also slightly transparent.
If I set the AllowsTransparency="True" the animation ran like a dog ... turn it off and all is well.
Defo worth looking into.
