I am making a custom textbox control and am thinking about adding keybindings in the constructor that execute commands to open and save files. I am also thinking about handling the find and replace dialog from within my textbox control. Is there a reason I shouldn't do this? --Edit-- I am planning on only using this control in my curr...
Here is what I am trying to do. Dynamic Category: Columns can be 0 or more. Must contain 1 or more Type Columns. Will only be displayed if any row contains Type Column data associated with it. Data Rows: Will be added Asynchronously. Will be grouped by a Common Category column. Will add a Dynamic Category if it does not yet exist....
OK I have looked and searched all i want to do is fire a storyboard animation from my view model onto my view. The problem is there is just simply too much boilerplate code to get a simple thing like myStoryboard.Begin(); firing. So what are the methods that you use? Currently, I am using Silverlight 3, MVVM Light. EDIT: I can't use so...
I'm continuing to struggle with the MVVM pattern and, in attempting to create a practical design for a small/medium project, have run into a number of challenges. One of these challenges is figuring out how to get the benefits of decoupling with this pattern without creating a lot of repetitive, hard-to-maintain code. My current strate...
Okay, I have been looking into MVVM pattern, and each time I have previously tried looking into it, I gave up for a number of reasons: Unnecessary Extra Long Winded Coding No apparent advantages for coders (no designers in my office. Currently only myself soon to be another coder) Not a lot of resources/documentation of good practices!...
I'm just getting up to speed on MVVM, but all the examples I've seen so far are binding View controls to simple non-WPF specific data types such as strings and ints. However in our app I want to be able to set a button's border brush based on a number in the Model. At the moment, I translate the number into a brush in the ViewModel to ...
I have 3 Tables in my database. Each table has 3 fields each, excluding the ID field. out of which 2 fields are of type nvarchar. None of the tables are related. My ListView in the application helps the user to search my database, the search being incremental. The search includes the nvarchar fields of the 3 tables ie, 6 fields in total...
I've got a list of ComboBoxes inside a listbox, like so: <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Values}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ComboBox ItemsSource="{...}" IsTextSearchEnabled="True" IsEditable="True"/> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> The Valu...
My window has just a listview. This facilitates the users to incremental search the db. Since the design does not have a textbox, i've to globally handle the keys. I think it could be achieved by keybinding. But how can i handle all the keys and associate it to a single command. Also suggest me other methods if any. P.S.: I want this i...
I need to be able to get and set the textbox's text, but I don't want every single change in the textbox's text to update a string in my viewmodel. It seems to me that binding a string to the textbox's text property would be nearly as inefficient as updating a string on a textbox's textchanged event or am I wrong? ...
I have just started learning MVVM and having a dilemna. If I have a a main ViewModel and inside this model I have a number of datasets. Now should I be creating a new ViewModel for each row inside the dataset? Or expose the DataSet itself as a DependencyProperty? For now the dataset has about 20 rows inside it, and the thought of itera...
I'm creating a WPF app using the MVVM design pattern, and I'm trying to extend the TabItem control so that it closes the tab when the user clicks the middle mouse button. I'm trying to achieve this using InputBindings, and it works very well until I try to define it within a style. I've learned that you cannot add InputBindings to a sty...
so in classic MVVM examples ive seen DataTemplate definitions are used to map up View Models to Views, what is the standard way to do this in MVVM Light framework, and where should the mappings be located? Following are examples of what I'm doing now and what I'm talking about, blendability is important to me! Main Window: <Window xml...
Hi, I'm trying to produce a master/detail datagrid view. I'm using object data providers. Now I have seen many examples when the argument of a method for returning the records for the detail view is a string, like in this example: <!-- the orders datasource --> <ObjectDataProvider x:Key="OrdersDataProvider" Obj...
Hi, I'm trying to get my first WPF app working using MVVM, and I've hit a little binding problem. The setup is that I have a view & viewModel which holds User details (the parent), and to try and keep things simple I've put a section of that view into a separate view & viewModel (the child). The child view is defined as a UserControl. ...
I'm getting an odd problem when implementing a master / child view and custom dependency properties. Within my master view I'm binding the view model declaratively in the XAML as follows: DataContext="{Binding MainViewModelProperty, Source={StaticResource Locator}}" and my MainViewModel is exposing an observable collection which I'm b...
I can get the master-detail scenario to work just fine if I keep the master and details together in the same view. However I want to be able to tailor the details presentation based on user security. Therefore I moved the detail section to a separate view using the same viewmodel as a backend. Now the details dont update properly when a ...
Hello guys my first post on SO because EE sucks in the meantime ;P I am using wpf and mvvm in my desktop application. Scenario: I have a calendar with week A and week B which are rotating by every X week depending on the user settings. But the UserControl "week B" is only visible when the user sets the option "rotating weeks"... The ...
Imagine: [RadOutlookBarItem1] [RadOutlookBarItem2] [RadOutlookBar] [CONTENCONTROL] What i want to achieve is: User selects one of the RadOutlookBarItem's. Item's tag is bound like: Tag="{Binding SelectedControl, Mode=TwoWay}" MVVM Property public string SelectedControl { get { return _showControl; } set ...
I have a listbox in WPF that is in the Layout Root. I also have a Frame that is in the Layout Root as well. The listbox is composed of items that have a string(Name) and a framework element(UI). How do I bind the frame's content to be the UI property of the listbox's selected item property? If you need a codebehind, how would you do ...
