In visual studio i want to add a second code behind file to a xaml window (my main form). i know i can have another (or as many) files that form partial parts of a class, and if they are in the same project they will be included, but can i make more than one file sit in the expander (in the solution explorer) when i expand the xaml file ...
O.k, this is really irritating, I had noticed previously that the code generated by WPF for loading XAML resources did not appear to use strong names and therefore may be problematic for scenarios where you need to support side by side versions of WPF assemblies. This has turned out to be the case, and it's now causing me problems - I h...
I am creating some custom controls in WPF and need to therefore create the default control templates for them. To help in this process I would like to see the XAML of the control templates for the builtin controls as a reference. I can open up the PresentationFramework.Class dll into .NET Reflector but cannot find anything inside it of ...
I need to create a spline with two endpoints and 'n' control points. As far as I am aware, a Bezier curve allows for only one control point, and a Bezier spline allows for two control points. However, I need to be able to add as many control points as I see fit, not limited to one or two. Here is an example of what I want to achieve, wi...

Right now, I have a WPF window that looks like this: I'd like it to look like this (Photoshop doctored image): Is this possible without completely redoing the ControlTemplate? I tried messing with HorizontalAlignment, HorizontalContentAlignment, etc., but nothing I tried had the desired effect. Edit: If I try this solution (of...
I have some paths defined that I would like to convert into DrawingImage resources but I must be missing something. i.e. I want to take something like this: <Path Stroke="DarkGoldenRod" StrokeThickness="3" Data="M 100,200 C 100,25 400,350 400,175 H 280" /> and use it with something like this: <DrawingImage x:Key='icon'> ...
I have a DataTemplate that will be a templated ListBoxItem, this DataTemplate has a ComboBox in it which when it has focus I want the ListBoxItem that this template represents to become selected, this looks right to me. but sadly enough it doesn't work =( So the real question here is within a DataTemplate is it possible to get or set th...
If the text box has no keyboard focus and no text, then show italic gray "type here" text "inside" it. How? What doesn't work: Setting the Text property - it messes up data binding. Overriding the template - it's messy and overridden already anyway. Preferably, I'd like the solution to be as much XAML and as little C# as possible. Pe...
Say I've got two elements in a window. I'd like element A to fill all unused vertcial space and have always at least eg. 200px height. Element B will have few fixed sizes (expander) and it should be given the space it demands (but leaving at least 200px for A). If there is not enough free space in a window, B should be scrollable. That...

I have two dockpanels which each have a left StackPanel. The width of the bottom StackPanel is determined by the width of the text is in it. The width of the top StackPanel should be the same as the width of the bottom StackPanel. I've tried to bind the Width of the top StackPanel to the Width of the bottom StackPanel via ElementName ...

ContainerFromElement((CheckBox)sender)); lbi.IsSelected = true; The main issue that I'm having is that "Containe...
I'm doing some quick design work/rapid prototyping with WPF. I'm curious if anyone has a good strategy for getting example data into a ListView/GridView (or really any ItemsControl for that matter). The example data would either be made up on the fly, or pasted in from somewhere (e.g., an Excel file). ...

I am a total WPF newbie and wonder if anyone could give me some pointers how to write an application that starts minimized to tray. The idea is that it periodically fetches an RSS Feed and creates a Toaster-Popup when there are new feeds. The Application should still have a Main Window (essentially just a list containing all feed entrie...
The main problem is in LinearGradientBrush. It fills triangle in solid red. What's wrong? I have tried almost the same code with 2d shapes.
