Why dont you just put in a condition to check for and avoid a border.
foreeach(control ctr in OuterCanvas.controls)<br />
if(ctr.Gettype() == tx.Gettype() && ctr.Gettype() != System.Windows.Border)<br />
((TextBox)ctr).text = "";

How do you color a rectangle in C# that has been declared in XAML in WPF?
There is a rectangle control in XAML. In my C# code there are times in which it would be nice to fill the background color. How does one do this?
|
|
|
|
|
The way I'd do it is bind the Rectangle background colouur to a property and use INotifyPropertyChanged to trigger the update of the colour based on the change.

How do I bind the Rectangle background colour to a property?
|
|
|
|
|
In your XAML:
<Rectangle
Width="200"
Height="100"
Fill="{Binding Path=BoundColour}"
Stroke="Black"
StrokeThickness="4" />This assumes that you have a property called BoundColour.

The problem I am having is that there is a textblock inside the rectangle. When I do a Fill, the textblock is erased. Will this binding suggestion fix this problem?

How do you send a refresh message to a WPF grid or canvas?
In other words, I have noticed while in debug mode, I can write code that sends a line to the display and then, if that line is not right, I can adjust it -- but the previous line is still there.
Now, the code I am writing sends information to the display based on what the user clicks. So this must mean that the display is not refreshed each time a new set of lines and boxes and text goes to the grid or canvas in WPF.
Using C# code, how do you send a refresh/repaint message to a WPF grid or canvas?
|
|
|
|

Hi,
although I'm not sure about your saying "...code that sends a line to the display...", I'll try to answer, as far as I've understood:
The "UIElement" class has a method "InvalidateVisual", which will force a complete new layout pass; Grid and Canvas derive from "UIElement" and thus have this method available. But this is a rather expensive (considering performance) way to 'refresh the screen'.
If you have a TextBlock or TextBox for the "line" in your container (Grid or Canvas), you could give it a name (in the VS designer) and access the "Text" property from code. This would work just as in WinForms. This assumes, that you know your control at design time.
The easiest and most WPF-like (and to me the only correct) way, is to bind the "Text" property of the textcontrol to a string property (say: MyText) of an object (say: class MyData) used as the container's "DataContext". The "MyData" class must implement the interface "INotifyPropertyChanged" and the "MyText" setter must fire the "PropertyChanged" event.
Now every change to the "MyText" property will be automatically be reflected in the textcontrol.
Hope this helps to get you on the right track.
Cheers
Jürgen

I'm using a data bound treeview. I have added a dot next to each treeviewitem:
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:RuleGroup}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Rules}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="/RulesEngineUI;component/Media/bluedot.png" Height="8" Width="8" Margin="0,0,3,0"/>
<TextBlock Margin="0,0,5,0" FontWeight="Bold" >Group:</TextBlock>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink Name="Link" Style="{StaticResource LinkStyle}" Click="Link_Click">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=GroupName}"></TextBlock>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
Now I want to be able to change that image at runtime in the code behind.
How do I get a reference to the image?
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

You don't. The correct (WPF) way to do this is to have the image as a bound item and update the bound version, and this will update the UI.

Hi All,
I am currently facing problem with the usage of 2way binding in Wpf.
Here is my problem
I have 1 Model class and a view model class and a view to render data from view model.
I am using the ObjectDataProvider for databinding in View.
I have a method in view model which will give me the List of data (of type model).
Now I am showing this list in a ItemsControl in view with datatemplate applied.
Here is my ItemsControl:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ResourceKey=F1TeamsList}}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ResourceKey=F1TeamViewTemplate}"/>
I have 2 text box in datatemplate and I have specified twoway binding there.
<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="F1TeamsList" ObjectType="{x:Type f1teamvm:F1TeamViewModel}" MethodName="GetF1Teams"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="F1TeamViewTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox x:Name="teamDriver1Box" Text="{Binding Path=TeamDriver1}"/>
<TextBox x:Name="teamDriver2Box" Text="{Binding Path=TeamDriver2}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
Here F1TeamList - is the objectdataprovider which returns list and F1teamViewTemplate is datatemplate.
And GetF1Teams is the function which provides me list.
But this code is not working as expected. It fetches data properly but 2way binding is not working here
Any Idea??
Regards

How have you defined the TeamDriver1 and TeamDriver2 properties? Are they raising the PropetyChanged event (the class must implement INotifyPropertyChanged for this)?

Yes I have implemented the INotifyPropertyChanged interface in the Model class.. And the two properties are raising the PropertyChanged event.

Try putting Text="{Binding Path=TeamDriver1, Mode=Default, UpdateSourceTrigger="LostFocus"}" to check that the update is getting triggered.

Hello Pete,
The update is getting triggered .. My one more question is suppose I include 2 instance of the same view in my main page, If i update the data in 1 view then the data should be updated in the second view automatically rite ?? Correct me if I am worng .. Because this is not happening when I tried this scenario.
EG: I include my views in main window like this,
<StackPanel>
<customView:F1TeamView/>
<customView:F1TeamView/>
</StackPanel>
Regards,
|

It will only update if both views point to the same instance of data.

It is the same instance of the data .. I initialize the list in the constructor of the view model and return the same list to both the views .. and one more thing . If I make changes to the data in ui and display the members in messagebox .. it will still show me the old values ..

How can we have vista style window (i.e. with drop-shadow and rounded corner) in Windows XP?
If I add 'PresentationFramework.Aero', it changes look for controls and not for main window.
I've set WindowStyle>None, Background>null and AllowTransparency>True for the window. And then, added a rectangle with rounded corner and drop-shadow. It emulates style perfectly but causing serious performance threat.
Can you people suggest me better approach?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope
Face it, any time you are bypassing the native rendering engine the OS uses you are going to take a performance hit. I don't care what anyone says.
This is why Vista and 7 are 'NEW'. They were written with the intent to support this new look and feel so the OS internals, all the way down to the rendering engines, were optimised towards that purpose intentionally.
On older OSes if you turn off native rendering and do all your own window drawing in your code you are always going to incur a performance hit because you are essentially moving that code up a layer, or at very least adding cycles in the way to signal an alternate rendering routine.

I have a page defined in xaml, and I'm using a 3rd-party control. I've created a style that overrides the control's template, and I've added a couple of new "parts" to the template.
In the C# code, when I call control.FindName("MyNewPart"), it returns null. I tried calling control.ApplyTemplate()before calling FindName, but it returns false.
How do I get that part from the control?
I GAVE UP ==============================
Yeah, I spent a couple days on this problem and with nothing to show for it that could be even remotely viewed as "progress".

4 Finding a Control in the ControlTemplate
private void OnFindChildInTemplate(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Button btn = sender as Button;
ControlTemplate template = btn.Template;
Border child = template.FindName("TheBorder", btn) as Border;
var btn1 = child.TemplatedParent;
}

Nope - won't work because a ControlTemplate object does not expose a FindName method in Silverlight.

Is there any tool available in the market to migrate an ASP.NET based application to Silverlight application?
Appreciate a quick reply.
