wpf-4.0

I am a little confused with wpf themes. I would like to have the wpf screens look the same on Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. So I have styled the components accordingly and they don't pose problems except when run on Windows 8. For example I have a combobox and I am changing its default background in xaml like this. <Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}" > <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Normal"/> <Setter Property="Height" Value="24" /> <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource GradientButtonBackgroundBrush}"/> </Style> The combobox Background property has no effect in windows 8

I've seen this question asked a lot, however, to the opposite of what I'm looking for. While other people want a control to size itself based on the size of text, I'm trying to figure out is if there is a way to grow the size of text to the amount of space available. Take the idea of a digital clock window and you want the numbers stating the time to grow (or shrink) based on the size of the window the clock is in. If there isn't a way to automatically do this any pointers to a programmatic way I can get this accomplished? The WPF Viewbox control will grow / shrink its contents to the

I have a list box for which I am styling ItemContainer to include a context menu. Here is the xaml for the same. <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}"> ... <Setter Property="ContextMenu"> <Setter.Value> <ContextMenu> <MenuItem Header="Remove Group" cal:Message.Attach="DeleteGroup"/> </ContextMenu> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style> I have coded the target method in ViewModel as given below. public void DeleteGroup() { //ToDo ... } The ViewModel is set as the DataContext of the UserControl in which there is the ListBox. The above code results in "no target found

We are using Microsoft's UIAutomation framework to develop a client that monitors events of a specific application and responds to them in different ways. We've started with the managed version of the framework, but due to delay issues, moved to the native version wrapped in UIACOMWrapper . After more issues with performance inside our (massive) WPF application, we decided to move it to a separate terminal application (transfer the events to our WPF app through UDP) which seemed to fix all the performance issues. The only problem is that it seems that every several minutes, the events for

I recently converted a project from WPF 3.5 to WPF 4.0. Functionally, everything works, but the DataGrid style I was applying on top of the Aero theme has suddenly stopped working. As you can see from the before/after pictures below, my DataGrids went from having an Aero look plus bold headings, extra padding, and alternating row formats to just looking plain "Aero". Besides removing all references to the WPF Toolkit (since the DataGrid is now native to WPF 4.0), I really didn't change anything about my code/markup. Before (WPF Toolkit DataGrid) After (.NET 4.0 DataGrid) As I learned in an

Making a separate question, related to comments on the answer to WPF 4: What happened to DataGridColumnHeader? It appears I can use DataGridHeaderBorder in a UserControl, stand-alone in a ResourceDictionary, but not in a Style's setter of a Template. <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" > <!-- Works --> <DataTemplate x:Key="yomama"> <DataGridColumnHeader /> </DataTemplate> <!-- Compile Error: error MC3074: The tag 'DataGridHeaderBorder' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas

I have a textbox and a Datagrid. The datagrid has two columns name and Email address. I want to Filter the datagrid values with the value in the textbox. You can use a ICollectionView for the DataGrid ItemSource then you can apply a Filter predicate and refesh the list when needed. Here is a very quick example. Xaml: <Window x:Class="WpfApplication10.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="188" Width="288" Name="UI" > <StackPanel DataContext="{Binding ElementName=UI}">
