Customize WPF Ribbon - wpf

I want to customize normal WPF Ribbon layout.
As shown below I want to remove the command area of ribbon control.
Please suggest any way to achieve this.

I got the solution from this link
void ribbon_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Grid child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((DependencyObject)sender, 0) as Grid;
if (child != null)
{
child.RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
}
}

If you want to move the Quick Access Toolbar spacing you can change the main window to be a RibbonWindow. This will move the Quick Access Toolbar to the top title bar. If there are no items, it will be hidden.
XAML:
<ribbon1:RibbonWindow x:Class="Example.MainWindow"
xmlns:ribbon1="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;
assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon"
...
Codebehind:
namespace Example
{
public partial class MainWindow : RibbonWindow
{
...

Issue with Swipe inside ListView

I am using a ListView in a Windows Store App.
Whenever I start swiping(using simulator tap mode) over the list view all the items move together as illustrated in the picture.
How can I disable this manipulation event?
To your ListView, add:
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollMode="Disabled"
If that is not enough (this sometimes does not work with MouseWheel events, in that the events still tend to be caught in the ListView and also tends to happen if the list inside of the ScrollViewer is particularly large, I've found), then you need to create a custom control to specifically ignore the event, such as this for PointerWheelChanged.
public class CustomListView : ListView
{
protected override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
var sv = this.GetTemplateChild("ScrollViewer") as UIElement;
if (sv != null)
sv.AddHandler(UIElement.PointerWheelChangedEvent, new PointerEventHandler(OnPointerWheelChanged), true);
}
private void OnPointerWheelChanged(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = false;
}
}
This will disable mouse wheel scrolling inside of your ListView. You'll have to change your XAML reference to the ListView from <ListView> to <namespace:ListView> where namespace is the namespace you've created your ListView in.

drag and drop in wpf user control

I had created a drag and drop control in wpf to drag and drop data between two list boxes which worked as a charm until I moved it to another project.
The difference being It was initially a wpf window and used the window object to get the mouse position and the position of the controls inside.
this.topWindow = Window.GetWindow(this.sourceItemsControl); //Source items control is instance of ItemsControl
bool previousAllowDrop = this.topWindow.AllowDrop;
this.topWindow.AllowDrop = true;
and now I had to change it to a user control instead, since its a part of a bigger project which is a Windows forms project and the views are linked as a Smart Part from the main project. So now the Window object is null.
I looked for a similar functionality for User Control but could not find it..What is it that I am missing out?? I know there should be something..Would appreciate any help on the same..
P.S. : I am using the MVVM architecture
Found the way to find the base User control using recursion, Thanks to ekholm for the heads up..
public static UserControl FindParentControl(DependencyObject child)
{
DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(child);
//CHeck if this is the end of the tree
if (parent == null) return null;
UserControl parentControl = parent as UserControl;
if (parentControl != null)
{
return parentControl;
}
else
{
//use recursion until it reaches a Window
return FindParentControl(parent);
}
}
Now this base user control can be used to find the coordinates (reference) as well as setting other properties like AllowDrop, DragEnter, DragOver etc.
If you need MVVM, than you may examine this solution:
in your .xaml file add:
<ContentControl Content="{Binding Content, Mode=TwoWay}" AllowDrop="True" Name="myDesignerContentControl" />
Than in your ViewModel add the following:
private Panel _content;
public Panel Content {
get { return _content; }
set {
_content = value;
if (_content != null) {
RegisterDragAndDrop();
}
base.RaisePropertyChanged("Content");
}
}
private void RegisterDragAndDrop() {
Content.Drop += OnDrop;
Content.PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown += OnMouseLeftButtonDown;
Content.PreviewDragOver += OnDragOver;
}
private void OnDesignerDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) {
//some custom logic handling
}
private void OnDesignerMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) {
var control = (FrameworkElement)e.Source;
//some custom logic handling for doing drag & drop
}
private void OnDesignerDragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e) {
//some custom logic handling for doing drag over
}
The idea is that you should use controls instead of mouse positions, it will be more simple and logical approach. The code above is an example of approach to use in MVVM for having an content area on which you may perform drag and drop of some controls. The idea behind is also suitable for drag and drop data between two list boxes, that you may have on the same content area.
Hope this helps.

Open an xaml file inside a popup window in silverlight

I need to open an xaml file inside a popup window in silverlight.
In my case i am having two xaml files namely a.axml and b.axml.,
In a.xaml, there is a hyper link button and a popup tag inside it.
I have to open the b.xaml page inside that popup window on clicking the hyperlink of the a.xaml page.
This is my scenario. Pls help me to solve this issue.
thanks,
Neon
You should be able to set the Child property of the popup to be a new instance of your b.xaml class (whatever that is).
Using Telerik controls its getting easier. But you may use second method.
On Blend I changed the template of Telerik's child window. It seems better now
HyperlinkButton link = new HyperlinkButton();
link.Click += (s, a) =>
{
//With telerik
RadWindow w = new RadWindow();
w.Content=new UserControl();
w.Show();
w.ShowDialog();//Swith light and avoid access oter controls
//Without Telerik
Popup p = new Popup();
p.Child = w.Content as UserControl;
p.IsOpen = true;
};
Parent Page XAML:
<HyperlinkButton Content="HyperlinkButton" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="150,111,0,0" Name="hyperlinkButton1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Click="hyperlinkButton1_Click" />
Code Behind :
public ParentPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void hyperlinkButton1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ChildPage objpage = new ChildPage();
objpage.Show();
}
Here Is Pararent Page have buuton . child page load based on That button Click

UserControl Parent Left

So I have a user control within a window. I need to be able (from user control) to retrieve the parent window left and top (in order to locate a new popup I'm opening from the child). I'm trying to do this by referencing the UserControl .Parent property but doesn't seem to work.
Any idea? Thanks!
Are you using MVVM? Are you concerned about writing code in the code behind? .Net 3.5 or 4.0?
From the UserControl Code behind you could use:
Window parentWindow = Window.GetWindow(userControlReference);
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(UserControl1_Loaded);
//Window parrentWindow = Window.GetWindow(this);//don't add here the value will be null
}
void UserControl1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Window parrentWindow = Window.GetWindow(this);
}
}

WPF Ribbon - Hide quick access toolbar

how do you hide Quick Access Toolbar in a WPF's Ribbon?
For Microsoft Ribbon for WPF, you can hide it by using the VisualTreeHelper. On the Loaded event handler, just resize the row containing the Quick Access Toolbar to 0 :
private void RibbonLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Grid child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((DependencyObject)sender, 0) as Grid;
if (child != null)
{
child.RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
}
}
The Quick Access Toolbar is automatically hidden when the Ribbon control is in a RibbonWindow. When it is not, it seems impossible to hide it. I have already worked hours on this issue and was unable to hide it properly.
But there is one simple workaround: Place the Ribbon control inside of a Panel and give it a negative top margin so it will slide outside of the Panel. Set the Panel's ClipToBounds property to true and the QAT will be hidden.
By the way - there are multiple Ribbon implementations for WPF, even by Microsoft themselves ("Fluent Ribbon" and "Microsoft Ribbon for WPF"), so next time you should mention which one you are talking about.
Or if you want it all in the XAML, this works
<ribbon:Ribbon>
<ribbon:Ribbon.Loaded>CollapseQuickAccessToolbar</ribbon:Ribbon.Loaded>
<x:Code>
private void CollapseQuickAccessToolbar(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
((Grid)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild((DependencyObject)sender, 0)).RowDefinitions[0].Height = new GridLength(0);
}
</x:Code>
</ribbon:Ribbon>
Here is the solution :
this.ribbonControl1.ToolbarLocation = DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.RibbonQuickAccessToolbarLocation.Hidden;
I know this is an old post, but found an easier solution...
Add this inside the ribbon :-
<ribbon:Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
<ribbon:RibbonQuickAccessToolBar Visibility="Collapsed"/>
</ribbon:Ribbon.QuickAccessToolBar>
Bit late to the party.
<my:Ribbon >
<my:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu >
<my:RibbonApplicationMenu Visibility="Collapsed">
</my:RibbonApplicationMenu>
</my:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu>
This will help to hide the quick bar
