I'm working on a wpf project in visual studio 2008. I would like to add a xmal and xaml.cs file that describe a TabItem. Templates exist for "Page", "UserControl" and others but not TabItem. How do I either make my own template or accomplish this without a template? Thanks! ...
When I try to change a CroppedBitmap's SourceRect property at runtime, nothing happens. There's no error, and the property value doesn't actually get changed. I'm trying to do sprite animation. I have a BitmapSource that contains a spritesheet, which is a single bitmap containing a grid of different poses for the sprite. Then I have a C...
So I'm planning on writing an application that is largely a windowless application. There will be windows for user interaction, but only at the request of the user. Otherwise the application sits in the system tray and runs a timer, executing some logic every minute or so. My question is this: As far as I can tell, I would put all th...

This is a XAML code sample taken from the MSDN library article for the ItemsControl.ItemTemplate property: <ListBox Width="400" Margin="10" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myTodoList}}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=TaskName}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Descripti...
I have a WPF application that fails to come out of the timed sleep, followed by hibernate. The render thread seems to be failing during initialization. I tried removing hardware acceleration to check that it's not graphics card related, but that did not help. Here is an exception along with the stacktrace: ERROR An unspecified error oc...

I am defining a XAML DrawingBrush resource and I want to draw a custom shape. I found the following GeometryDrawing example: <GeometryDrawing Geometry="M0,0.1 L0.1,0 1,0.9, 0.9,1z" Brush="Gray" /> What do the M, L, and z letters in the Geometry attribute mean? What are they called? ...
I want to create a simple ListBox and have SelectAll as a context menu item. However it seems that ListBox has some sort of inbuilt handling for SelectAll that I can't get working, but is interfering with my attempt to implement SelectAll. My entire XAML is this: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.micro...
I am writing a brush in XAML that I can use to paint the background of a Grid to create a banner. It looks like this: I want the brush to "stretch" with the Grid when the Window resizes, but I do not want the center angles to deform. I only need to be able to draw the shapes in the background of a Grid. How can I avoid the deformat...

I am writing a WPF application that has an optional dependency on an API that has a simple requirement; It MUST be initialized/used on a thread that does NOT have the STAThread attribute. Of course, WPF requires STA so that makes everything easy. In this case, WPF is required no matter what. This third party API is required only when th...
I created a MVVM test application which at runtime reads an XML file to create a menu dynamically and based on what the user selects, loads in that page's UserControl dynamically. The result is a nice MVVM pattern that allows you to have one View/ViewModel pair per page all defined in an XML file. Very nice. So now I just added the abil...

Hi, I want to show a list of "properties" in my application. A property is simply a name/value pair. The number of properties is dynamic. The best way to do this?
