How can I use static/dynamic resources in my tests

published 968 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 968 days, 23 hours, 43 minutes ago

You are surely, as I am, creating a lot of units tests in your WPF applications. Some of the tests may use statics or dynamics resources declared in your application and when you launch the tests, all you get is an XamlParseException exception thrown. The tip to make them work is quite simple to use. (more)

Creating a fullscreen window in WPF is quite simple, you just have to set WindowState to Maximized and WindowStyle to None. But in my current project I was facing a little drawback : a border was still visible on the bottom and on the right side of my window. In this post we'll discover how to remove them. (more)

Create an animated expander

The expander control can be used in a lot of situations but the one proposed by default is quite "rigid". In this post we will discover how to animate it quite simply just via XAML ! The WPF engine lets us redefine the template of the controls and we'll just do that. (more)

UserControl/Control : how to get a reference to an element of the template

posted by

jmix90 978 days, 1 hour, 52 minutes ago

When you want to create your own custom control you have two choices : creates an UserControl or inherits from one of the "Control's classes" (ContentControl, ItemsControls or Control itself). When doing so you'll surely need to access to the visual parts of your template from the code to add it a nice behavior. *In this post we'll discover how to access the template children by using the FindName method even on UserControl. * (more)

Although there are already some good articles on how to crop an image in WPF, the ones We tried out did not fit out requirements, so we decided to write our own control. Our control extends the regular Image control, so you can use the all of the features you are used to have. That’s it in a nutshell. It’s a simple interactive image cropping control written in WPF and C#. (more)

[Performance tips] Use the system shadows instead of your own

posted by

jmix90 1118 days, 12 hours, 18 minutes ago

Today a fast and easy tip about shadows and performance. In a project I have recently made, we've told the designer not to use BitmapEffect because they are performance killer. He so decided to create it's own shadows by duplicating each shape and make them looks like shadows. I was then surprised to see that it kills performance too ! (more)

Binding on a Property which is not a DependencyProperty

published 1140 days, 59 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 1140 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes ago

A lot of controls expose properties which are not DependencyProperties and then you can’t put a binding on it. On some other cases, you only have a getter as accessor and you can’t put a binding on it too. This is for example the case for the ribbon’s group of the office ribbon or the converter’s parameter. If you ever tried to do so, you surely had an exception throwned : " A 'Binding' cannot be set on the 'SetCEDEJDED' property of type 'Tralala'. A 'Binding' can only be set on a DependencyProperty of ... (more)
