I am working in a WPF app in C# and it is really very very sad that WPF doesn't have a NotifyIcon like in the Win forms has. I have seen a lot of articles in the net for a wpf notifyicon balloon notification project. But none satisfied me. See, I have an idea but i don't know how to execute it.
Create a wpf user control with height and width same like the notifyicon.
Put a border control in it with corner radius 5. Put a grid inside that border control to place the textblocks and images.
Then position that user control to the system tray area. When we click a button from a window, this user control shows up just above the system tray and it hides when we click on outside area.
Is this possible to place the user control [this new "notifyicon" ] just above the system tray area ???
You can do this using an AdornerDecorater in you XAML.
Check this project out GitHub. It has a configurable notification toast popup control for WPF with a demo app.
I have created a Outlook Addin Project and I used WPF user control as element host in UserControl(WinForm) which is loaded using Custom Task Pane.
I have some dragoperation in wpf usercontrol which will open Popup.
The problem is the popup is showing topmost window for all the windows.
I need to show/visible only when outlook window activated. Appreciate your help
You need to make sure your popup is a child of the appropriate Outlook window. You cast Outlook Inspector or Explorer object to IOleWindow interface and call IOleWindow.GetWindow to retrieve HWND. You can then use WindowInteropHelper class along with the retrieved HWND to display your window.
I have a Silverlight application and I am trying to make each step of a wizard in XAML files, instead of hard-coded C#.
The problem is that I don't understand how I am going to switch between them after click on next button of each screen.
What is the best way to do this? I saw some tutorials on the internet about XAML dynamically loaded but none of them seem to work with me :/
Use a ChildWindow as your parent window. Then create multiple UserControls which will be framed in the content of the parent window. In the code-behind of the parent window, load the user controls into a list and set the visibility to 'Collapsed' for all of them but the first. When the user presses the Next/Prev buttons, pull the appropriate UserControl from the list (keep track of the current index) and make it 'Visible' while making the current control 'Collapsed'.
All of your navigation code will be in the parent window, but the parent window won't be concerned about the content of the wizard steps itself.
Each UserControl can be coded in XAML as a separate control so you still maintain a separation of the control from your wizards navigation logic.
You can then create a class type that will hold all of the options for the various wizard controls. Pass a reference to an object instance to each of the controls for them to update. When you get to the end of the wizard, your option object should maintain the state of all the wizard steps and the parent window can return that to the application.
I would suggest looking into the Silverlight Navigation Framework. It allows you to use "urls" to navigate between "pages" (which are your XAML user controls). It also also users to use the back and forth buttons in the browser, which may or may not be something you want to allow.
There is a VS 2010 template when you choose New Project, Silverlight, "Silverlight Navigation Application" that will help get you started.
I have a Winforms MDI app, and my newest form is developed as a WPF UserControl hosted by a System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost.
I have found that when the MDI child with the WPF content is active, it appears to be swallowing the keyboard shortcuts defined in the main menu of the application (CTRL-F, CTRL-P, F3, for example). Is there a way to tell the WPF usercontrol to pass these keyboard events back up to the Winforms app so the menus get their keyboard shortcuts again?
My WPF app has a window with various text boxes and a WebBrowser control.
The WebBrower control is used to show a web site (I doesn't own) and then a Login button in the WPF window fills the fields in the site from the text boxes.
The problem is that the web site calls focus() method on one of its input fields on load, and that still the focus from the text box in my WPF window. I want the focus to be on the WPF window field and not in the web page within the WebBrowser control.
I tryed calling MyTextBox.Focus() in the WebBrowser's LoadCompleted event, but to no avail. Setting the WebBrowser's IsEnabled or even Visibility properties didn't help either.
Does anyone have an idea how I can overcome this and move the focus to the WPF control instead of the web page input field?
Don't think you can extend the control site to add IProtectFocus to the site. Try interop the Windows Forms version of the webbrowser control and override the CreateWebBrowserSiteBase method to provide your own control site.
