Commented Issue: DatePicker's popup clipped by the Silverlight Control [3718]

gregjoyal — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:40:52 GMT

The DatePicker's calendar popup gets clipped by the right-hand side Silverlight control border. This happens even if there's plenty of room on the left hand side.
Create a new Page with the following:

<UserControl xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls" x:Class="SilverlightApplication2.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<controls:DatePicker VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</Grid>
</UserControl>

Open the calendar popup and watch it being clipped by the browser border.

Created Issue: BureauBlue Button.IsEnabled=False with Non-Text content [4711]

MarSara — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:18:03 GMT

When a button's content is set to something other than text and the button is disabled, the contents are completly hidden. Setting IsEnabled back to true, shows the contents again.

Commented Issue: ListBoxDragDropTarget loses drop functionality after change in the listbox's itemsource [4631]

twilliams817 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:09:26 GMT

Hello,

I apologize if this is a noob question or if this isn't an issue at all.

I need to have a drag and drop functionality between 2 listboxes and i implemented a simple demo with little effort thanks to this toolkit. However, the target listbox will have it's itemsSource changed according to the selected item of a comboBox. So, everytime i select a item of the comboxBox i change the itemsSource of the target listbox, and when i do this it seems that the dependency property of AllowDrop is deleted or removed, since it doesnt allow drop anymore (the forbidden symbol apperars on the drag popup). If i comment the code where i change the itemssource, everything works fine.

Commented Issue: Accordion Throws Exceptions When Changing ItemsSource [3789]

jayfreer — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:15:07 GMT

When the accordion is set with a SelectionMode of "One" and the ItemsSource is changed there are two scenarios when a runtime exception is generated.

The first occurs when both the old and new values for the ItemsSource have at least one element in them. In this scenario UnselectItem will generate an RTE when calling ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index).

The second occurs when the old value of ItemsSource has many elements and the new value has none. In this scenario UnselectItem will throw an RTE when attempting to access Items[0].

In the attached zip I have provided a small testing project which I used to reproduce these errors. I added the toolkit projects for local debugging. The first scenario can be reproduced using item source 1 then item source 2. The second scenario can be reproduced using item source 2 and then item source 3. The version of Accordion.cs alongside the project is one I have modified to no longer produce these errors. The modifications may or may not be entirely appropriate, but I think they will help illustrate some of the issues.

Created Feature: Create a simple Out of Browser helper control [4708]

jeffwilcox — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:10:59 GMT

I am not sure how the control would be designer, or function, but am interested to see if people would find value in a simple "Out of Browser" helper control.

Such a control could do a few things, such as
- Enable a app to expose an Install experience, with rich UI, in seconds, just by dragging the control into the design surface
- Automatically asynchronously check for an offering UI when an update is available and the app is running Out of Browser

This would take the time to properly implement the extras for standard Silverlight 3 Out of Browser support in about 1 minute, instead of the 30 minutes or so it takes to wire up events, expose helpful UI, etc.

About the Silverlight Toolkit

We use an iterative, evolutionary development model to release new controls and updates often and get feedback from the community to our development team quickly. With access to source code, unit tests and the infrastructure magic we use internally, the community can let us know what it likes and what it wants to change. Anyone can download the source code and start exploring. This transparency will allow the community to help us prioritize features based on real-world usage and actual customer scenarios. We also want to make it easy to reuse skills and source code which is why all our components are designed with Windows Presentation Foundation in mind and the Silverlight Toolkit is released under the Microsoft Public License.

Commented Issue: Label: Not centering properly [4673]

schallm — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:05:37 GMT

When adding a label to a stackpanel, it does not center properly in the the panel with HorizontalAlignment="Center". It also does not seem to align the content of the label properly with HorizontalContentAlignment="Center". Also, the width property seems to be totally ignored for the border. The border will draw exactly around the content, regardless of the set width of the label.

Created Issue: DependentRangeAxis Property should be defined in a base class or interface [4699]

sbeliveau — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:39:00 GMT

The DependentRangeAxis property that is implemented in almost every series should be generalized in a base series class or interface. This way, I'll be able to assign a value to this property without checking for every series types.

Closed Issue: RainierOrange and RainierPurple control templates misspelling [4585]

jeffwilcox — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:51:54 GMT

The Rainier Orange and Rainier Purple control templates generate misspelled namespace names when you create a new instance of the theme from the toolbox.

Examples:
<rainerOrange:RainierOrangeTheme></rainerOrange:RainierOrangeTheme>
<rainerPurple:RainierPurpleTheme></rainerPurple:RainierPurpleTheme>

This is related to, but not the same as, work item 1108.
