I have a TabControl. The header of each TabItem contains a StackPanel with an icon and a Label.
<TabControl>
<TabItem>
<TabItem.Header>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="/LoginPanel;component/Icons/icoLogin.ico"</Image>
<Label VerticalContentAlignment="Center">Login</Label>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem.Header>
</TabItem.Header>
<!--some further code here-->
<TabItem>
<!--some further code here-->
<TabControl>
Each icon in each non-selected TabItem is displayed as expected. The Icon in the currently selected TabItem is somewhat cloudy. If I switch to another Tab, the de-selected Tab-Icon becomes clear; the new selected Icon becomes cloudy.
I already tried the following to solve this:
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
but nothing happens
or
Width="32" Height="32"
or
Stretch="None"
to prevent scaling.
All of this without any effect. Can some please give me a hint? Thanks in advance
This works for me:
<Image Source="/LoginPanel;component/Icons/icoLogin.ico"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor"</Image>
Consider setting 'RenderOptions.EdgeMode' to 'Aliased' too.
<Image Source="/LoginPanel;component/Icons/icoLogin.ico"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor"
RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased"/>
See Image in WPF getting blury here on SO.

For some reason my Tab Control doesn't seem to work as described.
Instead of seeing this (From Mahapps site)
I see this
I have tried fiddling with every single property to try to get the scroll bar to go away and to have left/right scroll buttons as shown in the example, but absolutely nothing works.
What am I missing?
EDIT: - Added my XAML
<Controls:MetroAnimatedSingleRowTabControl Controls:TabControlHelper.IsUnderlined="True" Margin="5" ScrollViewer.PanningMode="Both" ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden">
<Controls:MetroTabItem Header="Thread Image Download">
</Controls:MetroTabItem>
<Controls:MetroTabItem Header="Random Board Stats">
</Controls:MetroTabItem>
</Controls:MetroAnimatedSingleRowTabControl>
It doesn't exist a style key for this TabControl. So you must add the resource dictionary to the place where you need it. So MahApps should solve this in the next releases (site note for me).
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.AnimatedSingleRowTabControl.xaml" />
</Grid.Resources>
<TabControl>
<TabItem Header="this tabcontrols tabs">
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="Content" />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="appear only on a single line">
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="Content" />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="if they are overflowing">
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="Content" />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="instead of wrapping them">
<TextBlock FontSize="30" Text="Content" />
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
Hope this helps.
How can I create the effect similar to Windows Phone's MessageBox, where the message gets displayed on a new layer with transparent background, so that the windows becomes modal? My layout is created out of Grid, so I do not know how to add any content over it. Please help.
It's easy to overlay one set of content with another in WPF. Try changing the visibility of the border below, for a simple message box effect. You would of course bind Visibility to your view model, or set it in code behind.
<Grid>
<Grid>
<!-- All your layout here -->
</Grid>
<Border Height="100" Width="100" Background="Azure" Visibility="Hidden">
<TextBlock Text="Hi there" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
How to set the background of TabItem? I tried the following code:
<TabControl>
<TabItem Header="Test" Background="Blue" Foreground="Red" />
</TabControl>
Foreground works, but Background does not work.
Any ideas? Thanks
What is happening is that in the case of a single tab, it is always selected, and so you are only seeing the selection style of the tab item.
For example, take a look at the following TabControl:
<TabControl>
<TabItem Header="Tab A" Background="Blue" Foreground="Red">
<Grid />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Tab B" Background="Green" Foreground="Navy" >
<Grid />
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Tab C" Background="LightBlue">
<Grid />
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
Tab A will not display its Blue background until you select a different tab. If you truly want the Background to remain the same regardless of whether it is selected or not, you will need to override the control template of the TabItem.
See the question TabItem Background color changes when tabitem selected or hover over for an example of how to do this.
I have an ItemsControl presenting a list of buttons. Each button has an image as it's content (png), but the image looks slightly different for each row.
The below image is magnified version of what I'm seeing:
Here is the xaml:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Name="tb1">hello</TextBlock>
<Button Height="{Binding ElementName=tb1, Path=ActualHeight}" Padding="0,-3,-3,-3" BorderBrush="Transparent" Background="Transparent" >
<Image Stretch="Fill" Source="stock_standard_filter.png" Margin="0">
</Image>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
I've had a similar issue previously and was able to solve it using SnapsToDevicePixels="True", but that solution is not working this time. I've also tried UseLayoutRounding="True" and RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased"
The height of the button is bound so the image will be stretched to fill the button. Because WPF uses doubles (1/96 inch units) there is bound to be some rounding off. SnapsToDevicePixels and Layout rounding might help when you use them on the StackPanel but as long as you stretch the image it will get blurred.
My best guess is to set "Stretch to None" and experiment with SnapsToDevicePixels and Layout rounding.
I am kinda new to WPF, dont know if the question is weird. I wanted to know if its possible to add a border around the text inside a textBlock.
EDIT:
As per suggestion I have tried both but without much success:
<Border BorderBrush="#FF0B232F" BorderThickness="2">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="TextBlock" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="36" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF88BCCD" OpacityMask="Black"/>
</Border>
and
<Label BorderBrush="#FF0B232F" BorderThickness="2,2,2,2" Content="TextBlock" FontSize="36" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF88BCCD" />
Am I doing something wrong here?
In such cases I use Label or TextBlock placed in Border.
Both your approaches are correct, however, if you have the textblock/label inside a grid (or any other container) declared as you have, its contents will stretch.
Try setting the VerticalAlignment and/or HorizontalAlignment to an appropriate setting (Top/Left, Center)..
something like this:
<Border BorderBrush="#FF0B232F" BorderThickness="2" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="TextBlock" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="36" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF88BCCD" OpacityMask="Black"/>
</Border>
Assuming that you are asking for a full size TextBlock with a border overlay within the bounds of the TextBlock you could wrap it in a Grid and draw the borders over the top of the TextBlock like this...
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock Text="TextBlock" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="36" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF88BCCD" OpacityMask="Black" />
<Border BorderBrush="#FF0B232F" BorderThickness="2" />
</Grid>
Because we haven't specified the grid row and column on the TextBlock and Border objects the border overlays on top of the TextBlock.
if you just want to have a border around your textblock or any other control use :
<Border>
<TextBlock></TextBlock>
</Border>
you set border properties like color ,cornerradius ,thickness,...
