This post on MSDN makes use of native WPF to achieve a TreeView/Grid hybrid. It is based on the TreeView and Grid controls. It supports a treeview with multiple columns, but does not support sorting or filtering http://dlaa.me/blog/post/9898803 EDIT: I have recently integrated this code and it works very nicely, gives you exactly what you … Read more
Alright, second time’s the charm. Based on your layout screenshot, I can infer right away that what you need is a WrapPanel, a layout panel that allows items to fill up until it reaches an edge, at which point the remaining items flow onto the next line. But you still want to use an ItemsControl … Read more
It’s a little tricky since you don’t know the name of the Panel so you can’t use FindName etc. This will work for most cases where an ItemsPresenter is present private Panel GetItemsPanel(DependencyObject itemsControl) { ItemsPresenter itemsPresenter = GetVisualChild<ItemsPresenter>(itemsControl); Panel itemsPanel = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(itemsPresenter, 0) as Panel; return itemsPanel; } An implementation of GetVisualChild private static … Read more
I would use a Button control and overwrite the Button.Template to just show the content directly. <ControlTemplate x:Key=”ContentOnlyTemplate” TargetType=”{x:Type Button}”> <ContentPresenter /> </ControlTemplate> <Button Template=”{StaticResource ContentOnlyTemplate}”> <Label Content=”Test”/> </Button>
Try mk-build-deps from devscripts package. mk-build-deps –install <controfile> PS: Make sure you have package equivs installed also.
I think you simply want to set the IsIndeterminate property of the ProgressBar to true. (See this article, which also has a nice example of a fancy circular progress indicator.)
You should create Begin and End extension methods as well. And if you use generics, you can make the call look a little nicer. public static class ControlExtensions { public static void InvokeEx<T>(this T @this, Action<T> action) where T : Control { if (@this.InvokeRequired) { @this.Invoke(action, new object[] { @this }); } else { if … Read more
As it says in the following forum post: In the context of a TextBox, readonly allows the user to set focus to and select and copy the text but not modify it. A disabled TextBox does not allow any interaction whatsoever. Use ReadOnly when you have data that you want the user to see and … Read more
By default, the StatusBar uses a DockPanel to position its children. This works fine for one item, but tends to make things messy and inconvenient when working with more than one child. To gain a high level of control over the positioning of status bar children, you can swap out the DockPanel for a Grid: … Read more
A pragmatic solution is to use the form’s GetChildAtPoint() method, passing the 4 corners of the control. If one of them returns true then the control is definitely visible. It is not 100% reliable, all 4 corners could be overlapped by another control but still leave part of interior visible. I would not worry about … Read more
