Commented Issue: Change TabPanel instances to Panel in TabControl.cs [4602]

sp00ky — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:54:40 GMT

In trying to retask the TabControl into an Outlook-style navigation bar I ran into what I think is a design flaw in the TabControl.

In true WPF/Silverlight style, I wanted to start by changing the control's template and replace the TabPanel with a StackPanel. There are several published examples of this being done with the WPF TabControl (e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFOutlookNavi.aspx?msg=3007475). However, I noticed that all of TabControl.cs's references to the TabPanel specifically used that type instead of the more generic Panel or something along those lines. That means that we're stuck w/ TabPanel even if we'd rather use something else.

I've replaced all the references to TabPanel to Panel just to make sure TabControl still works as expected - and it does seem to.

Commented Issue: ChildWindow - make it really modal [3730]

DarkByte — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:40:50 GMT

Everything about the behavior suggests that it is a modal dialog. But it is an async dialog, therefore using it in certain scenarios (like a confirm delete dialog in DataForm) breaks the expected behavior. This request is to make it a truly modal dialog behavior.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: DarkByte **

Guys, you should learn to use this behavior. Instead of thinking Modal, think deferred execution. I used to think like you until i finally understood why they choose this path.

So, in the case of "Are you sure you want ot Delete xxxxx ?", split the functionality. Just before showing the ChildWindow, attach an event to the Closing/Closed event. From there you can tell if the DialogResult was true or false and react appropriately.

Like:

private void OnDeleteButtonClicked(object sender, ....)
{
ChildWindow window = new ConfirmationDialog("Are you sure you want to delete xxxxx ?");
window.Closed += OnProcessDeleteConfirmation;
window.Show();
}

private void OnProcessDeleteConfirmation(object sender, ... )
{
if ((sender as ChildWindow).DialogResult == true)
{
// Proceed with deletion
}
}

Hope this clarifies why its built that way !

Created Issue: ImplicitStyleManager (ISM) does not work with ColumnSeries and BarSeries [4607]

jimmccurdy — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:00:44 GMT

Unlike the other chart types (LineSeries, AreaSeries, PieSeries), ImplicitStyleManager does not set implicit styles for ColumnSeries and BarSeries chart types.

The following XAML defines the implicit style that should work, but doesn't:

<Style x:Key="CommonColumnSeriesDataPoint" TargetType="charting:ColumnDataPoint">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="charting:ColumnSeries">
<Setter Property="DataPointStyle" Value="{StaticResource CommonColumnSeriesDataPoint}" />
</Style>

The following XAML defines the chart:

<charting:Chart ToolkitTheming:ImplicitStyleManager.ApplyMode="Auto">
<charting:Chart.Series>
<charting:ColumnSeries
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Balance, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource MillicentsToDouble}}" />
</charting:Chart.Series>
</charting:Chart>

Created Issue: DataGrid does not honor DisplayFormatAttribute [4603]

schallm — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:15:00 GMT

I would like to be able to set my display format on my Model using the DisplayFormatAttribute and have the DataGrid format the column correctly.

<Display(Name:="Birth Date")> _
<DisplayFormat(DataFormatString:="{0:MM/dd/yyyy}")> _
Public Property BirthDate() As DateTime
Get
Return _birthDate
End Get
Set(ByVal value As DateTime)
_birthDate = value
End Set
End Property

The display property is currently being honored, but not the DisplayFormat.

Thanks
Mike

Created Issue: Problem with TabControl inheritance. [4598]

visualaram — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:29:48 GMT

Hi,

I have a problem when I create a new class which inherits from TabControl.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 with silverlight 3 and the october release of the toolkit, the problem ocurs when I create a new silverlight project, then I add a plain class(MyTabControl) and make it inherit from TabControl.
When I try to use MyTabControl either in the visual studio designer or expression blend 3, I get a null reference exception and nothing is shown on the designer.

I think this might be an issue with the designer dll requiered for visual or blend, but I believe it should work anyway because I am just inheriting a control.

Any ideas?

Thanks,Aram

Created Issue: Silverlight Control for Help 3 [4597]

t_h_048d3 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:44:10 GMT

Included in the release of VS 2010 Beta 2 is Help 3.
It would be great if the Toolkit could develop a control that supports Help 3 files.

thanks

Commented Issue: DataPager - MoveNext arrow remains enabled when last page has been reached [4572]

The Move Next button on the DataPager does not become disabled when the pager control has reached the last page.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: jeffwilcox **

Hi, I have not been able to reproduce this. Looking at the sample project (http://silverlight.net/content/samples/sl3/toolkitcontrolsamples/run/default.html), it works in the standard case.

Is it possible that there is an issue with your underlying data source? Are you re-templating?

Any additional information to reproduce this would be quite helpful.

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

joechung — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:46:54 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.

Commented Issue: Incorrect Assembly info for RainierOrange and RainierPurple themes. [1108]

joechung — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:30:58 GMT

AssemblyInfo.cs files for both projects contain a number of typos in the assembly name.
"RainerOrange" should be "RainierOrange".

...

[assembly: AssemblyTitle("Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming.RainerOrange")]

...

[assembly: XmlnsPrefix("clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming;assembly=Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming.RainerOrange", "rainerOrange")]

The spelling in the control templates for these two themes is still wrong.

Created Issue: DatePicker resets Date format for non-Gregorian calendars. [4569]

notacat — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:19:42 GMT

If non-Gregorian calendar is used in the system, DatePicker doesn't honor long date pattern set in the system and resets representation to Gregorian calendar.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Control Panel --> Regional and Language Options --> Regional Options --> Date.
2. Set the calendar type to "Japanese" (和暦 on a Japanese system).
3. Set the Long date format to gg yy'年'MM'月'dd'日'.
Result in control panel is 平成 21年10月30日 (for current date).

Result in DatePicker is 2009年10月30日. Era "平成" is not displayed.

At the same time I don't see why don't show the same string as in the system. DateTime.ToString() returns correct string: "平成 21年10月30日"

Created Issue: DataField Content does not follow VerticalAlignment rules [4566]

DarkByte — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:40:55 GMT

Adding Content that can be stretched in a DataField, like a DataGrid or a TextBox that have VerticalAlignment set to Stretch does not work. You can see the DataField taking a bigger region, but not its content. Setting VerticalContentAlignment on the DataField does not work either.

ex:
<dataFormToolkit:DataField Width="400" Height="400" DescriptionViewerPosition="BesideLabel" LabelPosition="Top">
<TextBox VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
</dataFormToolkit:DataField>

Created Issue: TreeView Drag&Drop throws exception [4551]

JEYH6394 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 07:10:20 GMT

I am trying to do very basic testing of the (great!) new TreeView drag&drop capability, by adding TreeViewItems programmatically (no DataBinding) into a TreeView encapsulated in a <controlsToolkit:TreeViewDragDropTarget>:

<controlsToolkit:TreeViewDragDropTarget msWindows:DragDrop.AllowDrop="true" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<slt:TreeView x:Name="TreeView" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Row="1" />
</controlsToolkit:TreeViewDragDropTarget>

With a constructor in TreeViewDragDrop.xaml.cs

public TreeViewDragDrop()
{
InitializeComponent();

TreeViewItem tiRoot = new TreeViewItem();
tiRoot.Header = "root";
this.TreeView.Items.Add(tiRoot);
TreeViewItem ti1 = new TreeViewItem();
ti1.Header = "n1";
tiRoot.Items.Add(ti1);
TreeViewItem ti2 = new TreeViewItem();
ti2.Header = "n2";
tiRoot.Items.Add(ti2);
TreeViewItem ti11 = new TreeViewItem();
ti11.Header = "n11";
ti1.Items.Add(ti11);
TreeViewItem ti12 = new TreeViewItem();
ti12.Header = "n12";
ti1.Items.Add(ti12);
}
}

While it seems to work when changing order of between sibling TreeviewItems, I get an exception when moving a TreeViewItem at another level in the tree:

'value is not within expected range' (approximative translation from French)
MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(IntPtr Ptr, String name, CValue[] cvData) at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodPack(IntPtr Ptr, String name, CValue[], Object[] rawData)

Am I missing something ?
