(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…
I recently spent a couple hours trying desperately to bind a TextBlock to the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties for a project I’m working on. My binding looked like this: {Binding ElementName=MyElement, Path=Canvas.Left, Mode=Default} Couldn’t do it. I tried bloody everything to get this thing to work, but it wouldn’t do it. Then I found a…
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…
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…
So the items in your ListView column look like this: And you want them to look like this: If you’re trying to center something within a ListView column, it’s actually pretty simple.
Over at nostatic.com, there is an example of <a href=”http://notstatic.com/archives/118″>using MarkupExtension</a> that that we can access some custom code functionality directly from the XAML. In his example, the following XAML accesses a random number generator within the code. <Button> <Button.RenderTransform> <RotateTransform Angle=”{l:RandomNumber Min=0, Max=360}” /> </Button.RenderTransform> </Button> Pretty cool. Apparently it only works…
In response to the questions: How do I make it so that, instead of cutting off the text in my column when I shorten it, my text displays ellipsis? and How do I make it so that my text wraps when I shorten my columns? I’ll deal with the first one first and the second…
So you’ve got a listview and you want the columns (not the rows) to look a certain way. (If you are in any way confused, head over here.) In this post, we’re going to build a template for a column and style that template so the data in that column is all styled the same…
When I’m doing the initial design for a project (while the developers are working on silly things like data validation and security), I often find myself in need of data so that I can see my project in action. The developers, of course, have no interest in conjuring up test data at that phase in…
So you want grid lines in your listview, huh? Something that looks a little like this? OK, we can do this the easy way and the hard way.
