I want to drag custom items inherited by QWidget over the QGraphicsView? Any idea
Thanks
If you dont have a layout, you may give absolute position to your widgets, and then put any QWidget over any QWidget.

I'm trying to figure out how I can place UIElements (Buttons, Rectangles) on a floorplan which is hosted in a zoomableCanvas as a MultiScaleImage.
The placed UIElements will change their backcolor and other properties dynamically.
Does anyone has an idea how to achieve this?
best regards
I am really bad when it comes to styling in XAML and I have a really big problem. I want to customize my scrollviewer in the ListBox that I have. I want to look something as simple as this
I hope that someone can help me do this.
Thanks in advance.
If you're using Expression Blend this is pretty simple actually. First you need to get to your Control Template for your ScrollBar. You can do this by dropping a ScrollBar control on your Design Surface then right-click and choose "Edit Template -> Edit A Copy" which will present a box to enter the name of your new Style Template and whether you want to save it to a Resource Dictionary or to the file you're working in.
Once you have saved it you should see multiple Parts in your Objects & Timeline panel for the Vertical & Horizontal templates of your ScrollBar. You will be editing the properties of the Rectangles & Borders that create the visual of your Scrollbar within each Control Template for Horizontal & Vertical depending on which you choose to use.
To re-create your example should be relatively easy with finding the "VerticalThumbTemplate" or "HorizontalThumbTemplate" and editing the Border / Rectangles within them to get your oval as you display. You might also want to tinker with your VisualStateManager States while you're in there for MouseOver effects etc.
An example of a custom scrollbar can be found in a partial theme I created awhile back you can view here.
Once you have created your custom ScrollBars you can either make your new style template the default by changing the BasedOn Value for that TargetType, or applying it directly to the ScrollViewer built in to your ListView Template.
Hopefully this should be enough to get you started in the right direction. Cheers! :)
Scrollbar is one of the harder template to customize. If your are really bad at that, you maybe have to search at a custom controls librarie.
But if you really want to edit the scrollbar template, there is plenty of sites that will help you with a simple google search
I am using a third party charting library (Infragistics xamChart). I am not satisfied with how tooltips are displayed on a line charts datapoints so I was thinking of using an adorner to make a better looking/interactive tooltip.
What I want to do is have the adorner popup whenever one of the datapoints is hovered over. Does anyone have any pointers on how I can do this? Most of the adorner samples I found are pretty simple ones that just alter the entire control they are adorning.
My main questions are:
Is it possible for an adorner to
appear only when certain elements are
hovered over (and have it appear at
the current cursor position)?
Does anyone have a simple sample they
can share?
Are adorners the right way to go
here? I think the only other option
was to use the popup control but I
though adorners were a nicer
solution.
Thank you.
Perhaps Attached Behaviours could help you? From this article:
The idea is that you set an attached
property on an element so that you can
gain access to the element from the
class that exposes the attached
property. Once that class has access
to the element, it can hook events on
it.
That way you could attach a listener to the MouseEnter event and display your custom ToolTip from there.
I am new to both Silverlight and Blend 4.
I am trying to make a Image Gallery, where u click on the image and it shows details of the same.
I used VisualStateManager to get a mouseOver and mouseOut effect to the thumbnails. and here is wat i want. I want to add the VisualState's to all my thumbnails through Style. (I had seen this in some forum, but i cudnt figure it out how he did it.)
Here is wat i want:
I have set of thumbnails to, which need to scale up on MouseOver and come back to normal on MouseOUT. I created a VisualStateManager States.
But i want to use the state as a
common state for all the thumbnails
and apply it to the thumbnails through
Style.
Is this possible? If so how?
If not? then is how can i achieve it.
Would be really thankful to any one who can help me :) just that this is a bit urgent. :(
MSDN documentation says that you should be able to add the VisualStageManager XAML tag to any control which inherits from UIElement and accepts child controls.
It seems to me then that the best way to do this is to create a UserControl for your thumbnail and set the VisualStateManager there. You can then reuse that UserControl.

I have an imagebrush of a soccer field as the page background and I want to be able create a line up by dragging players off the bench and positioning them on the field accordingly. I don't know what control to use for the background that allows the PlayerCard control to reside where it is dragged. Any help as to how to begin would be appreciated.
You can get the idea here.
What control to use?
I believe you want the Canvas container control. It lets you arbitrarily place child controls with a Left and Top attached property, similar to the way Windows Forms does it.
