Is there a way to add Segoe MDL2 Assets with regular text in the same button in WPF Xaml. Working on a side menu that I want to have icons + text buttons.
You can directly set the Button.Content property:
<Window>
<Window.Resources>
<Viewbox x:Key="ErrorIcon"
x:Shared="False">
<TextBlock Foreground="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Control}, Path=Foreground}"
FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets"
FontSize="11"
Text="" />
</Viewbox>
</Window.Resources>
<Button>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<ContentControl Content="{Staticresource ErroIcon}"
Foreground="Red" />
<TextBlock Text="Some button text" />
</StackPanel>
</Botton>
</Window>
You can override the ControlTemplate of the Button or extend Button if you want to implement it with reusability in mind.

I need to databind two TextBlocks to the Window.Title property. The first one works via:
RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}"
But the second one does not (it's deeply nested within a button ToolTip).
How can I change the second one to make it also display the Title of the Window?
<Window ...>
<Border ...>
<Grid ...>
<Grid ...>
<!-- TEXTBLOCK BELOW WORKS -->
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Title, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" FontSize="18px" FontStretch="UltraExpanded" />
<Button Grid.Column="3" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent" Foreground="Transparent"
ToolTipService.InitialShowDelay="0" ToolTipService.BetweenShowDelay="0" ToolTipService.ShowDuration="60000">
<Button.ToolTip>
<ToolTip x:Name="helpButtonTooltip" Width="240" ToolTipService.InitialShowDelay="0">
<!-- TEXTBLOCK BELOW DOES NOT WORK; HOW CAN I MAKE IT WORK? -->
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" FontSize="18px" FontStretch="UltraExpanded" />
The tool tip is displayed in a popup and is not part of the same visual tree as the button or your window. Consequently, RelativeSource and ElementName bindings do not work.
What you can do is bind the window title to the Tag property of your button and then bind the Text of the tool tip TextBlock to the Tag property of the PlacementTarget (which is the button).
<Button Tag="{Binding Title, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}">
<Button.ToolTip>
<ToolTip>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PlacementTarget.Tag, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ToolTip}}}"/>
</ToolTip>
</Button.ToolTip>
</Button>
I have a Listview defined like this:
<ListView x:Name="lvPlaylist" Width="530" Height="337" IsItemClickEnabled="True" ItemClick="gvPlaylist_ItemClick">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Stretch="Fill" Source="{Binding albumArtURI}" Height="48" Width="48" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding GetPlaylistFormat}" Width="500" Height="18"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
I want to open a "context"-Flyout on each Item on click.
So far I was only able to attach the flyout to the whole but then the flyout is shown at the border of the listview - not directly attached to the selected item.
Buttons have a Flyout property. All you have to do is wrap the contents of the template in a Button, create a Style for the button which removes all visuals for it, then create a Flyout for it.
<DataTemplate>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonWrapperStyle}">
<Button.Content>
<Grid>
<Image Stretch="Fill" Source="{Binding albumArtURI}" Height="48" Width="48" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding GetPlaylistFormat}" Width="500" Height="18"/>
</Grid>
</Button.Content>
<Button.Flyout>
<!-- Make Flyout Here -->
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
Obviously there is stuff left to do here, but you get the idea.
Hope this helps and happy coding!
Looks like you can also do it like this
From MSDN
"The next example shows a Flyout attached to a TextBlock. As noted earlier, you can attach a Flyout to any FrameworkElement by using the FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout attached property."
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=MyTextBox, Path=Text}"
Tapped="TextBlock_Tapped" FontSize="18">
<FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
<Flyout>
<TextBox x:Name="MyTextBox" Text="You can edit this text by tapping it."/>
</Flyout>
</FlyoutBase.AttachedFlyout>
</TextBlock>
It is possible insert DockArea or other else docking element like it is on the picture.
In WPF Ribbon.
You can use ribbon HelpPaneContentTemplate:
<ribbon:Ribbon.HelpPaneContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="Account: ..." VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button Content="Sing out" Click="Button_Click" Margin="2,0,2,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ribbon:Ribbon.HelpPaneContentTemplate>
Tried using a Label as well.
The text in the button is being left aligned.
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding ButtonLinks}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<RadioButton Style="{StaticResource {x:Type ToggleButton}}"
Margin="5"
Background="{x:Null}"
Height="40"
FontSize="14"
GroupName="Views"
FontWeight="Normal"
cal:Message.Attach="ShowPage">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BtnText}"
TextAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</RadioButton>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
ETA:
I'm using MahApps.Metro overlay and when I remove the controls resource in the App.xaml it works, basically is there a way to override a property like alignment on a resource you pull in?
The line I remove from app.xaml:
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.xaml" />
I had to override HorizontalAlignment for a RadioButton which was being set to "Left" in the mahapps library.
I would like to add a preloader to a ListBox, I already added a preloader to the whole pivot control, but I only show it for one listbox (I have a listbox for each pivot page) I wish to create separate preloaders for each listbox, has any one done this?
I currently have a preloader control, showing the loading text and progress bar
Is there any way I can attach a progress bar to the listbox, and show it until the data is loaded from the webservice (For each different listbox)?
This is my current preloader:

<telerikPrimitives:RadDataBoundListBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="4,0,0,0" Name="listNearbyBusinesses" IsAsyncBalanceEnabled="True" AsyncBalanceMode="FillViewportFirst" SelectionChanged="listNearbyBusinesses_SelectionChanged" Height="535" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
