I need to give the zooming in wpf toolkit chart.
I have two options to acheive this one way is via using UserControl which I dont feel is good as it will require a lot of effort. Second, I tried to extend Chart and LineSeries classes of it but these are sealed classes.
Any idea how can I achieve this functionality.
Thanks in advance.

when i want to do zooming with wpf a simply use ScaleTransform. does this work for you to?
<Slider x:Name="zoomer" Width="100" Value="{Binding Source={x:Static Properties:Settings.Default}, Path=Zoomer, Mode=TwoWay}" Minimum="0.8" Maximum="2.2" TickFrequency="0.1" IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" />
<YourChartControl>
<YourChartControlLayoutTransform>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="{Binding ElementName=zoomer, Path=Value}" ScaleY="{Binding ElementName=zoomer, Path=Value}"></ScaleTransform>
</YourChartControlx:Name.LayoutTransform>
</YourChartControl>

I would like to add a tooltip over the datapoint of a lineseries that shows both the X and Y values (independent and dependent values), rather than just the dependent value that appears by default. I am aware this is the same question as was written in this ticket - WPF toolkit charting : Customize datapoint label
However, I can't get the answer to work. There is a link to more detail that appears to be outdated.
My line series:
<DVC:Chart.Series>
<!--Have several lineseries that look like this, connected to a styling vm. Can add ToolTip=...-->
<VM:LineSeries x:Name="something"
Title="something"
DependentValuePath="Value"
IndependentValuePath="Key"
ItemsSource="{Binding something}"
DataPointStyle="{StaticResource DataPointBlue}"
>
</VM:LineSeries>
</DVC:Chart.Series>
My datapoints are styled here, but adding a setter property with any tooltip doesn't make a difference:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Key="DataPointBlue" TargetType="{x:Type DVC:DataPoint}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
I've tried adding this line of code from the above linked ticket in several places in a variety of ways, and I've tried using Binding in various ways, but nothing has hit the mark.
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<StackPanel Margin="2,2,2,2">
<ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding IndependentValue}" />
<ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding DependentValue}" />
</StackPanel>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
This has been a lot of trial and error that hasn't been making progress.
I've recently started doing some stuff in WPF and I came up with an idea to integrate maps into my application. I tried some stuff with Google Maps, but the capabilities aren't that great, so after a while I gave up on Google Maps in WPF.
A little while later I bumped into Bing Maps. This looked way more promising than Google Maps to use with WPF. I've started playing around with Bing's Maps and the capabilities are great!
However, when I tried to put a pushpin on the map it wasn't immediately clear to me how to add a infobox to the pushpin, when hovering over it. I have found some examples how to do so, but it required procedural code linked to the xaml. I was actually looking for a method without using procedural code.
Is it possible to add a infobox to a pushpin with just xaml? Or does anyone have a good alternative method on how to do so?
There is a tooltip property available though, but I wasn't actually looking for that. I was actually looking for Google Maps' pushpin kind of style (if it is available).
Assuming I understand correctly what you want, I believe the short answer is: Sorry, but it's not possible to add a Google-Maps-style info box to a pushpin with just XAML. However, I'll try to help if I can.
Disclaimer: I've been playing with the Bing Maps control for Silverlight, so hopefully this will be applicable to the WPF version of the control as well.
I imagine that you don't want to use the built-in ToolTip either because you want it to look different (i.e. not just a yellow box with text) or because you want it to not disappear when the user moves the mouse away.
If you just want it to look different, I can offer the following. When I specified a template for my Pushpins, I went ahead and used a re-templated ToolTip and allowed the user to click the pushpin to get more information.
Here's the ToolTip template, defined as a StaticResource, which of course could contain anything you want:
<Style x:Key="MyToolTipStyle" TargetType="ToolTip">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border CornerRadius="5" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2" Background="#5c87b2">
<ContentPresenter Margin="5">
<ContentPresenter.Content>
<StackPanel Margin="5" MaxWidth="400">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="16" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
</ContentPresenter.Content>
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And here's where I used it:
<maps:Map>
<maps:MapItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding SearchResultsManager.Items}">
<maps:MapItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<maps:Pushpin Location="{Binding Location}" Cursor="Hand" MouseLeftButtonUp="Pushpin_MouseLeftButtonUp">
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip Style="{StaticResource MyToolTipStyle}" />
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</maps:Pushpin>
</DataTemplate>
</maps:MapItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</maps:MapItemsControl>
</maps:Map>
Then I'd handle when the user clicked on the pushpin to take them to a details area.
private void Pushpin_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
// Get a reference to the object that was clicked.
var clickedSearchResult = (sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext as SearchResultViewModel;
// Do something with it.
}
However, I imagine you want to keep the ToolTip from disappearing, so that the user can click on controls inside it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a simple way to do that. You might have to define your own custom control, which of course would require some C#/VB code.
Perhaps this new control could derive from Pushpin, and it could show the info box content on mouse-over and/or click. You could use the VisualStateManager to keep most of the code in XAML. The C#/VB would just have to provide a dependency property for the content and some overrides to transition between the visual states at the correct times.
I hope that's at least a little bit helpful!
I have a Canvas element, contained within a ScrollViewer, which I'm zooming using ScaleTransform. However, I want to be able to keep the scroll position of the viewer focused on the same part of the canvas after the zoom operation has finished. Currently when I zoom the canvas the scroll position of the viewer stays where it was and the place the user was viewing is lost.
I'm still learning WPF, and I've been going backwards and forwards a bit on this, but I can't figure out a nice XAML based way to accomplish what I want. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated and would aid me in my learning process.
Here is the kind of code I'm using...
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer Name="TrackScrollViewer" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<Canvas Width="2560" Height="2560" Name="TrackCanvas">
<Canvas.LayoutTransform>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="{Binding ElementName=ZoomSlider, Path=Value}"
ScaleY="{Binding ElementName=ZoomSlider, Path=Value}"/>
</Canvas.LayoutTransform>
<!-- Some complex geometry describing a motor racing circuit -->
</Canvas>
</ScrollViewer>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="8" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Slider Name="ZoomSlider" Width="80" Minimum="0.1" Maximum="10" Value="1"/>
<TextBlock Margin="4,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding ElementName=ZoomSlider, Path=Value, StringFormat=F1}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
This is not a purely XAML way of doing it, but there is a very nice piece of work on Joeyw's blog titled Pan and Zoom (DeepZoom style) in WPF with links to the source. He has taken some inspiration from DeepZoom and it gives you smooth/animated panning and zooming of content. And if you're using WPF 4 you could probably modify it a little to add some easing functions to the animations to give it an even nicer feel.
I need to zoom Canvas. In WPF it is possible to bind ScaleTransformation.X to slider.Value.
I'm not able to do the same in Silverlight - some errors.
Is it supported in SL3?
Thank you.
The reason this doesn't work is that in SL3 the binding target needs to be a FrameworkElement. (This restriction is lifted in SL4 but that doesn't help right now).
However the solution just takes a little lateral thinking (or in this case backward thinking). The source object does not need to be a Framework element. So the answer is reverse the binding, that is put the binding on the Slider Value property and put it in to TwoWay mode.
<Border Width="200" Height="200">
<Border.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform x:Name="TargetTransform" />
</Border.RenderTransform>
<!-- Some Content Here -->
</Border>
<Slider Value="{Binding ScaleX, ElementName=TargetTransform, Mode=TwoWay}"
Width="200" Canvas.Top="250"
Minimum="0.1" Maximum="2.0" />
I've got a bunch of ContentControls with a DataTemplate like so:
<DataTemplate>
<Canvas>
<Canvas.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="1.0" ScaleY="1.0"/>
</TransformGroup>
</Canvas.RenderTransform>
</Canvas>
</DataTemplate>
...and I want to change their scales dynamically. I'm new to .NET, so please forgive. I tried to use this technique:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613579.aspx
...but DataTemplates don't appear to have FindName in Silverlight. I then tried binding the Scales like so:
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="{Binding Scale}" ScaleY="{Binding Scale}"/>
...but got a XAML error when I ran.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? I figure this must be possible somehow.
Thank you.
Assuming you don't want to animate the scale, simply include a Scale property in your view model. You cannot access an ancestors DataContext from inside a DataTemplate (WPF supports this, however).
Instead of setting the DataContext of your DataTemplate to your entity, create a wrapper class (ViewModel) that also includes a (INotifyPropertyChanged-firing) Scale property. Now your ContentControl can bind to the Scale property of your view model.
