When using fx. Word, I'm able to specify how much the font spacing should be reduced in points (ie. Condensed 3 pt). In XAML I can only use values from the FontStrech enum. Is there any other way specify the condensing in XAML, or is the only alternative to use a transformation to achieve something similar? ...
I've downloaded this AttachedCommandProject and ran it and it works well, enables me to e.g. put a MouseDown command on a Border element and handle that with a command in my ViewModel. Now I would like to add this AttachedCommand functionality to my MVVM Visual Studio Template. I copied all the necessary files into the my Commands fold...
Hi, This may seem really silly to you, I admit, but when discussing the Model-View-ViewModel pattern with my teammates, it's very awkward to pronounce the term. "ModelViewViewModel" or "Emm-Vee-Vee-Emm" don't exactly roll off the tongue. Especially when you're not a native English speaker. So I'm looking for an alternative. Something q...
I have a WPF sorting/binding issue. (Disclaimer: I am very new to WPF and databinding so apologise if I am asking a really dumb question :-)) Firstly, I have a linqToSql entity class Contact with an EntitySet<Booking> property Bookings on it. If I directly bind this Bookings property to a ListView, the application seems to correctly no...
I've implemented the attached command behavior pattern found here and it works well to allow e.g. a Border to have a left- or right-click event that fires in the ViewModel: XAML: <Border Background="Yellow" Width="350" Margin="0,0,10,0" Height="35" CornerRadius="2" c:CommandBehavior.Event="MouseLeftButtonDown" c:Comman...
I have implemented drag and drop in a ListView in my WPF application. Items can be dragged and dropped inside the ListView, and also into a TreeView that is beside the ListView. Currently, I have it set up so that when you drag to the bottom of the ListView, it automatically scrolls down the list. What I'd like to know is if there's ...
Ordinarily I wouldn't just post an error message on SO, but after a Google search only found one hit, I thought I'd at least open the floor for this error here on SO. I have a custom control called Sparkline with a dependency property called Values of type unit[]. Here's an example where I use it in a DataTemplate: <DataTemplate DataT...
I have begun creating a wpf mvvm app. It seems a vital ingredient to the ViewModel is a bunch of ICommands to have a loosely coupled way of allowing the view to interact with the viewmodel. My question is this, why can't I bind directly to a method? I have used Josh Smith's RelayCommand implementation of ICommand that allows you to in...
I've implemented the Attached Behavior Command pattern which compiles and runs fine, but strangely my XAML editor is giving the error: The attachable property 'Behaviors' was not found in type 'CommandBehaviorCollection'. in this XAML: <c:CommandBehaviorCollection.Behaviors> <c:BehaviorBinding Event="MouseLeftButton...

I need to handle WPF application right before it goes Minimize, not when it's already there. I found on Window object StateChanged, but it fires when Window object is already in Minimize state, then it's too late. So, I need something like "StateChanging" event to handle, while Window object is still in previous state. Is it possible t...

I want every button to have 5 points margin, in addition to Royale theme style.

Sorry for a very specific question, bot why VS2008 and VS2010 crashes with this code? I though it's a common to use ObjectDataProvider to bind property. I seen examples in many places on the web, but werether I try to use it I get exception and my VS closes. So, what is wrong with my code? Should I register a bug for VS? <Window x:Cla...
I built a WPF application in VS.NET 2008 using ClickOnce deployment. It ran great on any machine that had VS.NET installed, but my business users received an error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.Windows.Design.Extensibility Version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly...

Is there a way to place something (a custom UIElement) in place on the right of TabItems' headers, so that the headers will consider its size. I feel like there should be a data template for them, but I do not know what to read or how to query google for that. ...
I've been working on a WPF application for a while, and the time has come to attach the CHM format help document to it. But alas! HelpProvider, the standard way to show CHM files in Winforms, has magically vanished and has no counterpart in WPF. I've been trying to use WindowsFormsHost to spawn a new control so I can actually display th...
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) was going to hopefully usher in a new era of cool applications and user interactions. Television shows and movies have always been good at coming up with cool prop (i.e. non-functional) user interfaces. CSI, Minority Report, Quantum of Solice, all show off cool things that people might wish compute...
Hi, I'm certain this has come up before, but I haven't been able to find the answer. I made a basic ViewModel that contains a list of People (an array of Person) with a property called SelectedPerson, which naturally points to the currently selected Person in the list of People. I also have a ListBox and a TreeView that are databound t...
