(I’m getting to the point in a roundabout way… you can skip directly to the point below if you want.) When I started working on my WPF-Wii tutorials, my first Wii project was the initial version of the WPF-Wii Visualizer. However, I quickly got tired of writing the code for handling events and transferring the…
OK, I hope no one is using my last post as an example of what you should be doing when interfacing the Wiimote with WPF. Because it was completely hack-tastic. Instead, use my new WPF/Wii library. It uses the WPF INotifyPropertyChanged interface to act as an interface so that we can bind the Wiimote data…
Download WPF Wii Data Visualizer (App only, 355K) Download WPF Wii Data Visualizer (Visual Studio 2008 Source, 676K) Warning: The project will not run if your Wii controller isn’t connected to your computer.

OK, so I’ve taken note of multi-point WPF a couple times now (both times were in regards to Rick Barraza’s Cynergy demo) and I started noticing that people are really interested in this. So I decided to take some time to create a couple tutorials on creating multi-point interfaces in WPF. A point of note:…
Please Read: Strangely, when you do a Google search for “wpf” and “listview”, this is one of the top links. This is odd because this particular post is kind of an advanced tutorial. If you’re looking for more general information on styling the wpf listview, check out this post. It is probably much closer to what you’re looking…
Last time I was at Microsoft, I spoke briefly (for about 2 hours) with Rick Barraza about the need to get designers into the WPF space and how des/devs (designer developers) can really push forward a technology like WPF. In fact, it was Rick who inspired me to do more work on this blog as a…
I had a question from a reader in an earlier post on how to resize the ListView Gripper (seen below) so I wanted to address that in this quick post. Styling the gripper is actually pretty easy. First, take a look at my Styling the ListView Column Header post. Follow that along until you get…
So… you’ve got your listview and you want your items to look a certain way. In this post, we’ll look at changing as many things as we can inside the ListView ItemContainerStyle. First things first… getting to the ItemContainerStyle using Blend. With the ListView selected, go to the top menu and click: Edit Other Styles ->…
I apologize for my absence. Between the Christmas holiday and the wedding planning, I’ve been remiss on continuing work on this blog. In fact, it was only today that I noticed I had new comments. I’ll be getting to the questions in the comments in the coming week, but for right now, I want to…
I’ll get back to my listview posts soon, but I really wanted to share this: Here’s something from the guys at Cynergy in which they’ve combined WPF with a Wii-mote hack to implement an on-the-cheap multipoint interface. Pretty cool.
