About WPF!

59 New Member
Hi,
I am a novice in WPF. Though I have a good hands on experience in Windows Programming with C#.Net 2.0. now I think its time to move to WPF or atleast start!
I googled a lot and got the idea of the capability of WPF.
I have VS 2008 with .net framework 3.5 (No service Pack).
I am interesetd to know about WPFTool Kit. What is it? How to add it to my project? And how to apply themes in amy APF page? Do I need to have SP1 for applying themes?
Thanks,
Regards

I have a WPF application in VB in VSTS 2008 RTM. I am trying to "blink" (momentarily clear) a field of data if the data is reloaded from the database to give the user some visual indication of the LOAD operation. So on the LOAD button I clear the text fields, do mainCanvas.UpdateLayout( ), and the reload the text field from the database. But the text fields are not cleared long enough to see them blink.

With Windows Forms application, just setting the opacity to 0.5 gave me a 50% opaque normal styled (with the title bar, familiar three buttons, borders and resizable) window. Did the same thing to a WPF application, but the window didn't get translucent, instead only the client area got gray. Then I found I have to set AllowTransparency to true but then the window style must be set to None to set the AllowTransparency to true. In short,...

Here I am learning WinForms and two months into it I learn there's a WPF API that is coming out. Is this WPF out yet, and is it a threat to WinForms, in the sense that all the library routines I memorize and/ or familiarize myself in WinForms will disappear in WPF? I did note in one early version of C#, the non-generic "ArrayList" was replaced by the generic and template <based List, but that kind of change is not a big deal. If WPF...

Took a quick look at WPF, wrote a hello world program, noted it's lack of a decent API (for example, no lightning bolt to add Event Handlers, and every control in WPF does not have as many event handlers as in Winforms it seems, nor as many extension methods / properties, for example, in WPF a label has no '.Text' extension method or property, so you cannot write "label1.Text = ABC". I also note "Blend (TM)" which is a API/user interface...

Is there any control in WPF which can host a WPF window? If not now, are there any plans to improve WPF to implement window hosting. Related question: is it not possible to build a MDI application in WPF. If there is a WPF newsgroup, please direct me there. Thanks, Dean S

I am not looking for a "hybrid" WPF/WinForm or WinForm/WPF solution, but rather a pure WPF/WPFsolution. I want to host a WPF window inside another WPF window. I want to host a WPF window as a "control" inside another WPF window, much like a button is hosted inside a WPF window. This may not be possible today in WPF, but that is what I am trying to determine. Since WPF is a 1.0 product, perhaps the answer is: wait for a more complete...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
