WPF Custom Control Implementation

=?Utf-8?B?V29ua28gdGhlIFNhbmU=?=

Hello All--

Just a general (or perhaps loaded) question - is it considered good or bad
practice to use code-behind with a CustomControl.g eneric.xaml file?

For instance, with a control I'm creating, it would be nice to use a
DispatchTimer to "ramp up" a value, depending on how long the mouse is held
down.

Thanks,
WtS

Hi Wonko,

is it considered good or bad practice to use code-behind with a

CustomControl.g eneric.xaml file?

We usually define a style for the custom control in the Generic.xaml file
under the Themes folder and add code in the CustomControl.c s file to
implement functions of the custom control.

For more information on custom control in WPF, see the "Creating Custom
Controls in WPF" under the "Control Dev" section in the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netf...1.aspx#control

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
