Does anyone know of a spinner control like the one we often see in android/iphone apps. something like this:
It doesn't have to be free.
Take a look at SpinDotters at http://spindotters.codeplex.com/
There's source and a demo for WPF, SL, and Phone7.
You'd need to customize it a bit to get exactly what you want, but it could be a good starting point. e.g. you could combine several of the NumericUpDown controls...which "spin".

Well, I'm a newbie. I'd like to write an app in WPF. The main purpouse will be in drawing predefined elements/objects. Input from user is mostly realized by text boxes - numbers. But I'd like to add some kind of user input into drawing itself too + zooming and moving. Next functionality will be in saving the draw for later loading and another editing (printing maybe, but it's far far away).
I can imagine something like this:
due to some user interaction I'd prefere to use of InkCanvas
i want to define my own elements/objects with some properties. But where it will be define? Some external file maybe?
the save file will be composed of XAML code only
I will study this more lately, but I want to know if my thoughts are in the right way.
Are these points correct, or completely bullshit? :)
Thanks, and sorry for English...
I don't know if this is exactly what are you looking for, but here a little list of advice to help you on reaching your goal:
First of all, if you are crating an application, you should see this before. It explain the Model-View-ViewModel pattern, which is essential when you are creating something on WPF. This can help you abount your 2nd point.
Regarding your save file, i don't know exactly what you have in mind, but it depends on what do you want to save exactly. If you want, InkCanvas have the option to export directly the work in a bitmap . If you need to store some setting, depending on your need you can work with Settings or Resources
InkCanvas seems the appropriate tool for your need. Of course you will have to build your app around this control
I am trying to achieve this.
I have a list of records (filenames) which I want to show in a list.
Anybody has any idea as to which control to use.

The information is right at your fingertips. You should learn to use Snoop. Aside from that, you should choose whatever control works best for you, which requires you to learn the difference between each. We can't really provide a good answer because there are many different ways this control could be implemented, and that's why WPF is so powerful.
Basically, you'll want to use a mixture of a Grid and ItemsControl. You can see the layout of the controls that are being used in this screenshot:
I want to take advantage of DateTimePicker's date validation, but the calendar seemed cumbersome to our customers for setting the date (they'd rather do it using just the keyboard, tabbing their way through the form).
So I took a long look at the documentation and found that one way to get rid of the calendar was setting the ShowUpDown property to true. So I got this:
However, our customers are now saying that they don't want to use the spin button, and therefore they don't want it to be visible/accesible. i.e. they want this:
However, if i set ShowUpDown to false, I'm back to the calendar. Is there another way?
Had to roll my own Custom Control. Luckily, some other guy from the team has already written custom controls so I have example code to get started. Anyway, what good is a framework if I have to do this kind of things myself? Hope they solved this in .net 4.5...
EDIT: Using a MaskedTextBox with ValidatingType = typeof(System.Date) is a better solution. Sorry .NET!
I am new to Silverlight and have a requirement to highlight (or change font color) all words and phrases wtihin a TextBox that match a list of words/phrases. At first I though this would be easy, but the more I look into it, the more confused I get.
My goal is to write something reusable so I can also apply the logic to a RadGridView later. I've seen a few examples of stuff close to what I need, but it's beyond my Silverlight level at this point.
I want to write this myself to get a better understanding of how some of the Silverlight internals work. Can someone point me in the right direction of where to start on something like this? Should this be implemented in a control? Should I use a behavior? I'm using Silverlight 4.
Once I know where to start, I am sure I can get this done - with some help from you guys of course ;-)
Thanks,

How about using the RadRichTextBox (I assume you have a licence for it as you mentionned the RadGridView)?
There's also a good sample project on Telerik forum that is doing exactly what you want to do.
I'm trying to apply a specific style to a slider control and I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do for the slider's background. What do I need to do to get something like this triangle to show in the background of my slider?
I initially thought I would define a GeometryDrawing and set something in the tickbar tag to it - but I can't find anything suitable.
This is what I'm looking for. Thanks for any ideas.

Check out my Intuipic project, which does something similar (only horizontally):
you need to investigate a bit more into styling and templatiting in wpf. I would expect the easiest way would be to define a Control Template but you 'might' be able to achieve this with just styling
Check out this page on msdn for starters. There is probably loads of other resources out there. Big sections on it in the book i'm reading at the moment - pro wpf in c# 2008
Sorry i'm not coming up with an example... you'd be better off doing a bit of background reading and then coming back with any specific issues.
