I've been working on a commandline application, and have recently decided to add a wpf window to the application. I added this as a UserControl, however I noticed I can't call this class using ShowDialog() from my main code; I've tried changing the Base class from a UserControl to Window, however an error occurs; public partial class ...
Hi, I am using MVVM to show the database records in a gridview (ListView view). i have a textbox where we can enter the text to be searched in the results listed in the gridview. i tried many ways to highlight the search text (Not the entire row only the text matches in the record) in the records displayed in the list view but unable to...
This whole question is for WPF C#. I have a class that has an event procedure that can fire at any time. The event procedure contains some text data that I need to display in a listbox. What is the best practice for making sure that the DataContext of the listbox is updated accurately as the event procedure fires? ...
I am porting a GDI application over to WPF, where I displayed several dozen images onto Form, then drew polygons, circles, rectangles, etc over the top of these images using GDI Pens and Brushes. I'm starting to get the hang of WPF binding and would like to store all of these images and markup graphics in my ViewModel. My VM contains a...
I wrote a CSharpScriptBinding roughly equivalent to the PyBinding on CodePlex. It uses the C# script engine from http://www.csscript.net. After I wrote it, I kind of decided it might not really be something good to use. Although it caches the compiled script code as an already compiled Assembly, my concern is that I will have one temp...
Hi there. I already read many examples on extending ListViews with checkboxes bound with IsSelected. But I want something more. I want a seperation between the checked and selected state, so i get a ListBox that has a single selected item, but can have multiple checked items. Unfortunately ListViewItem does not have a property for check...

You might not know this, but pressing the F4 key on a ComboBox makes it's drop-down item list appear. I believe this is the default behavior on Windows. Does anyone know how to override this behavior in WPF (C#)? I know that overriding default behavior is generally seen as bad practice, however in this case I have a rugged-device that...
I'm trying to populate a listbox with a series checkbox entries, however once running the code below the listbox has blank entries in it, which are selectable, i.e. a blue bar appears. However neither the text or checkbox appears. for (int num = 1; num <= 10; num++) { CheckBox checkBox = new CheckBox(); checkBox.Text = "sheet" + ...
I have an ItemsControl which is giving me issues. It has a DataTemplate, which contains a TextBox that is bound to a property in the code-behind. When I press the Enter key, a new element is inserted into the property. After this happens, the focus of the item in the datatemplate should shift down one item in the ItemsControl (done pr...
After trying to develop our own control to display a table of data we stumbled on the WPF toolkit DataGrid and thought we were saved. A couple hours later I'm scratching my head trying to figure out if it can do what we really want it to do. The DataGrid seems to be based on displaying various properties of a single object, where I thi...
I have visual Studio 2008. I have noticed that I cam make WPF applications with Visual Studio. Does this mean that it can do the work that Expression Studio does? I am going to install Visual Studio 2010. Does this do away with the necessity of Expression Studio? ...

I am using the Logging Application Block (of Microsoft Enterprise Library) to log exceptions in the Event Viewer that occur in my WPF XBAP application. If I run the XBAP in the debugger from Visual Studio, an Event Source entry for my application is automatically created in the Registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSe...
So I have this issue I've been trying various ways to tackle all day and nothing's catching and working for it. Basically I have a XAML object called ChromeWindow (derived from Window) which has in it's code-behind a DependencyProperty called AppChrome which stores a reference to an associated ApplicationChrome XAML object (derived from ...
Trying to decide on the best element to use for a grid view, pretty much exactly like the one you'd see in uTorrent or any other upload/download client. Specifically, I want to have a 'progress' column too (with progress bars). Using VS2010/.NET4. Haven't really started the project yet, so either WPF or WinForms are fine. What would you ...
I'm using a ScrollViewer to display an Image. The Image has a ScaleTransform set as one of it's LayoutTransforms. I've got it setup to fit the width of the image into the ActualSize of the ScrollViewer. My problem is that if the image height requires the vertical scrollbar to be present (I have it set to Auto) then my image is scaled ...
This dialog makes no sense to me And I'm having trouble finding good tutorials on it. Most of the examples aren't detailed enough, or do stuff via code, but I'd like to take advantage of the IDE as much as possible. Whats the difference between ItemsSource and DataContext? I'd like to bind it to just a List for starters. I don't nee...
I've got a UserControl that contains a button and some other controls: <UserControl> <StackPanel> <Button x:Name="button" /> ... </StackPanel> </UserControl> When I create a new instance of that control, I want to get at the Button's Command property: <my:GreatUserControl TheButton.Command="{Binding SomeCommandHere}"> <...

I'm kinda new to xaml so ...
