I'd like to get the default text in a combo box to show "Select Team...."
Like this in WPF
Setting default text for a combo box
But in sketchflow.
How can I do this?
Thanks
it is a sliverlight project. my xaml reads:
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
x:Class="SchoolsLoginScreens.Screen_2"
Width="640" Height="480">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<ComboBox Height="61.256" Width="136.569" IsEditable="True" IsReadOnly="True" Text="-- Select Team --"/>
</Grid>
It says that IsEditable does not have a setter. But this appears to work in WPF project like the examples above.
SketchFlow projects are WPF or SL projects (depending what you chose when you created the project) so any answers you find for WPF/SL should apply.
I had the same question and found this to help me. Essentially, you just have to add at least one item to the combo box (right-click, add ComboBoxItem) then look at the Common properties while the control is selected and you will see a field called "SelectIndex" that is currently set to -1. Just change this to 0 to select the first item in your list.

I have this xaml on a project that uses Caliburn micro :
<Window x:Class="Myproject.MainWindowView"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="800" d:DesignWidth="1024" WindowStyle="None" Background="Black" >
</Window>
but when I run the application, I have a white line at the top of window :
How can I remove the line at the top?
I need a window that has no title bar, but should be resizable.
Well for the sake of easy points I suppose, the window chrome is built into the style templates and still inherited when you define WindowStyle="None" but still allow re-sizing to allow a hit spot for the manipulation event to occur. So like described in another answer you can take control of the base template and edit it to your requirements while still retaining the ability for the user to have point to invoke the re-sizing ability but with the frame thickness set to 0.
Hope this helps, cheers!
I want to create a metro style application, I did some researches and I found lots of articles and tutorials about that.
But I still need a clear comparison between Modern UI for WPF , Elysium and MahApps.
Testing all of them takes too much time ! I need to learn bout each one's features to decide with which one to start.
Thanks,
first : Download the WPF Shell Integration Library Here
then use this XML Code :
<Window x:Class="MyLibrary.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:shell="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/shell"
Title="MainWindow"
WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow"
ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"
mc:Ignorable="d"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
d:DesignHeight="449"
d:DesignWidth="677"
Foreground="White"
removed="Black">
<shell:WindowChrome.WindowChrome>
<shell:WindowChrome CaptionHeight="35"
GlassFrameThickness="0,0,0,1"
ResizeBorderThickness="5" />
</shell:WindowChrome.WindowChrome>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
</Grid>
</Window>
(note, you need to have referenced Microsoft.Windows.Shell)
This is really the Best way to do that.. It will work on all windows versions.
Edit:
if you want to add Caption Buttons on the top of the window add this XAML code to any control at the top: (button as example)
<button shell:WindowChrome.IsHitTestVisibleInChrome="True"/>
I´m using the librariay Extended WPF Toolkit
https://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/
Is it possible to resize a ChildWindow like a ordinary Window?
The documentation shows some properties that seem to be related, but they are not accessible via xaml. https://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ChildWindow
This is the example that I´m trying:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"
xmlns:xcad="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/avalondock"
xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<xctk:WindowContainer>
<xctk:ChildWindow WindowBackground="Blue"
Left="75"
Top="50"
Width="275"
Height="125"
WindowState="Open" Canvas.Top="52">
<TextBlock Text="This is a Child Window" Padding="10"/>
</xctk:ChildWindow>
</xctk:WindowContainer>
</Window>
It appears as though the Resize functionality is only available in the Plus Edition of the software, the documentation can be found at the link below.
Based on the link you provided, it looks like you are using the same version as I am, which is the free one.

Kind of disappointing, we don't utilize the toolkit enough to warrant the cost.
I am working on a WPF project which implements the MVVM architecture. I have a requirement where, a click on a hyperlink in one view(ux){Usercontrol} should open another view(window). I am able to load a view(usercontrol) through another view(window) by simply mentioning namespace:UsercontrolViewName in the host view, but I am clueless about how to do it through a hyperlink.
<UserControl x:Class="CCSAdvantage.AddOn.UX.DisplayPhoneNumbersView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:res="clr-namespace:CCSAdvantage.AddOn.UX.Internationalization"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:CCSAdvantage.AddOn.UX"
xmlns:xctk="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/toolkit"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0">
<HyperlinkNavigateUri="">AdditionalPhone(s)/Manage</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
This is the code for my UserControl, the Grid has other elements but I eliminated the details for simplicity. Additional Phone(s)/Manage => On clicking this link, a new window view which is also in xaml should open up. I tried giving the Window views name in the navigateuri property, but it does not work
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
My problem was accessing the another view(v2) from the current view(v1), I am in. This can be achieved by using a delegate which is called at runtime in the v1's viewmodel, which calls window loader function in V2, this would load the window view(v2)
Check this Hyperlink in WPF Application.
I have an automation client that uses the AutomationElement.FromPoint method to get the AutomationElement under the cursor:
AutomationElement element = AutomationElement.FromPoint(point);
Typically this works great, but I keep running into a problem with certain WPF applications. The problem occurs when there is a UserControl on the same UI level as another important UI element.
For example:
<Window x:Class="wpfTestApp.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:c="clr-namespace:wpfTestApp">
<Window.Resources>
<c:NameList x:Key="NameListData"/>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource NameListData}}"
Height="300" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="listBox1"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="153" >
</ListBox>
<UserControl Name="exampleUserControl">
<TextBlock Visibility="Hidden">Loading...</TextBlock>
</UserControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
When I attempt to point to any of the listbox items (or even the listbox itself), all I get is the "exampleUserControl".
I know that there are other methods for obtaining AutomationElements that don't depend on location, but in this case that is my only option, since we are trying to get the element under the cursor. The problem is, in this case, the important element (i.e. the listbox items) are covered up by this unimportant item ("exampleUserControl" containing "Loading..." text).
Is there any alternative to the FromPoint method, or some way that I can get it to ignore such elements?
There are several methods can find/search the Element.
You can find these interfaces on the MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms606809
For instance:
AutomationElement.FindFirst - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.automationelement.findfirst
AutomationElement.FindAll - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.automation.automationelement.findall
// Sample: Find the first Element and the classname = ""SciCalc"
AutomationElement calcRoot = AutomationElement.RootElement.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children,
new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.ClassNameProperty, "SciCalc"));
"AutomationElement.RootElement" is the parent of all the currently opened windows and controls.
For improve the performance you can find the target window first and then scan the controls on the AutomationElement of the Target window.
For instance: You can find and create the target WPF window via "AutomationElement.FindFirst" or "AutomationElement.FromHandle" first and search you listbox on the target window.
The clean solution to your problem is to set Visibility="Hidden" to the UserControl instead of the TextBlock
