Of course. Elements declared in markup (XAML) are created
just like any other CLR objects.

I'm not sure what you're asking here...

If you're using Windows Forms, why use WPF controls?

Hi,

Any trick to select multiple items in WPF listbox without holding shift key? Multiple items should be selected on holding and dragging just left mouse button.

Flow Layout versus Fixed Layout

I'm learning that WPF is all about laying out your controls in a non-fixed fashion to be able to accomodate dynamic content. All well and good.

The application I need to write, however needs to display objects on a map in their precise locations. Does WPF provide enough support for fixed layout of objects so that I can implement my mapping application?

You can layout anything in a 'fixed' way by using a combination of the HorizontalAlighment VerticalAlignment and Margin properties, when used inside a Grid or a Canvas panel.

To use visifire, it's important to create a chart in a constructor or windows before use it in other function in a csharp code. I have so many errors in deploymnt of my application in WPF. Do you think in this case that it's an error in my app.xaml, specifically in a gradientbrush?

System.Net.HttpWebRequest missing members

I am building a Silverlight 3 application using MSBuild. I am attempting to POST data in a HttpWebRequest, and I get error CS1061:
'System.Net.HttpWebRequest' does not contain a definition for 'ContentLength'. Here is a code snippet:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.Method = "POST";
// Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
string postData = "&amp;items=7";
postData += "&amp;data="+String.Format("{0}", recnbr);
postData += "&amp;delay=false";
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length; [ERROR HERE]
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

I also get the same error for 'GetRequestStream'.

Searching the Internet, I found no answers. Can anyone help?

Correct. This property is not available in the
Silverlight .NET Framework. I believe the system sets
this for you based on how much data is written to the
request stream. See the "Remarks" section here:
HttpWebRequest.Headers Property[^]

You'll need to use BeginGetRequestStream() and EndGetRequestStream()
in Silverlight.

Translate transform in code

AghaKhan21-Dec-09 2:52

21-Dec-09 2:52

I have a class which builds cubes.One of its properties is to translate to diffrent part of the screen.
testCube is object of that class.

testCube.Translate = new TranslateTransform3D(0, -1, 1);

I would like to set binding for Translation, but I am having hard time.
Looking the book WPF in Action I found this code for Rotation.

AxisAngleRotation3D angleRot = new AxisAngleRotation3D(new Vector3D(0, 1, 0), 0);
RotateTransform3D rot = new RotateTransform3D(angleRot,new Point3D(-spaceToUseX + (spaceToUseX / 2), 0, -(barWidth / 2)));
Binding rotBind = new Binding("Value");
rotBind.Source = rotateSlider;
BindingOperations.SetBinding(angleRot,
AxisAngleRotation3D.AngleProperty, rotBind);
model.Transform = rot;

I wrote this code, but nothing happends.It runs, with no errors

Binding TransformBindingX = new Binding("CubeUnit");
TransformBindingX.Path = new PropertyPath("Translate.OffsetX");

Binding TransformBindingY = new Binding("CubeUnit");
TransformBindingY.Path = new PropertyPath("Translate.OffsetY");

Binding TransformBindingZ = new Binding("CubeUnit");
TransformBindingZ.Path = new PropertyPath("Translate.OffsetZ");

TranslateTransform3D translateTransform3D = new TranslateTransform3D();
BindingOperations.SetBinding(translateTransform3D, TranslateTransform3D.OffsetXProperty, TransformBindingX);
BindingOperations.SetBinding(translateTransform3D, TranslateTransform3D.OffsetYProperty, TransformBindingY);
BindingOperations.SetBinding(translateTransform3D, TranslateTransform3D.OffsetZProperty, TransformBindingZ);

Any Idea?

Best regards

Separator in WPF's TreeView

Hello.
What is the XAML code of a WPF's TreeView Separator ?
I've been using <Separator /> , But this one is selectable ! I'm looking for a non-selectable Separator Tag !
Could you please guide me ?

Thanks in advance.

You can add a IsSeparatorBefore property to your view model objects, and have your DataTemplate draw the separator above the item if the property is true. You can use a negative top margin to have it appear above the selection.

Alternatively you can implement an attached property called IsSelectable that you can attach to your separator element. In the behavior of the property catch the PreviewMouseDown event and mark it as handled.

Also you can try to set IsEnabled to false on the separator, not sure that property is available on it.

Unfortunately I couldn't understand the concept of view model objects.

I tried it, when I set IsEnabled property to false , it's selectable again.

WPF, Serial Port, MutliThreading

Hi I am working on a project in which Computer interact with some Microcontroller
Computer sends some commands in a particular protocol, and receive some data in turn
There is a problem:
we have lots of Microcontroller connected to a computer via serial port,
because serial port is another thread, we send command from computer
but we don't know when exactly we receive the response of MicroController
as we have lots of MicroController connected to computer, we can not have lots of delay for each command sending
so I used a Interrupt based (Event Oriented) code, but
you suppose I send a command to a MicroControler , but don't wait for response
and send another command to another MicroController, ...
at the other hand , we are receiving some data,
that they are the responses
the problem is here: we can not distinguish which response belong to with MicroContoller
is there a solution for this problem?
is it a multiThreading problem?

Re: WPF, Serial Port, MutliThreading

its not clear from what you've said what the relationshop between serial port and microcontroller is - without that, questions like 'is there a solution for this problem' && 'is it a multihreading problem' are real hard to answer - and to throw multithreading into the mix may make you're life harder !!

So, if one serial port has multiple microcontrollers attached to it, Im guessing there must be a way of adressing each microcontroller on the serial port. As you say,

cppwxwidgetsss wrote:
we can not distinguish which response belong to with MicroContoller

which I find hard to visualise, so the only way I see of handling this is to have 1 to 1 relationship between serial-ports and microcontrollers, unless the response from a microcontroller can be improved to say which one its coming from ..

It must be a fairly common issue, so Im wondering if there's a serial I/O board you can use between the serial interface of the pc and the microcontrollers, that you'll know which microcontroller to address and get a unique response back from it

sorry I cant help more
