custom-controls

I'm creating a custom control derived from UserControl that I would like to set focus to. The custom control contains a ComboBox control and I draw some strings beside it. The ComboBox can receive focus, but I would like to be able to set focus to the UserControl itself. My OnPaint handler is set up to draw the control slightly differently if it has focus but I call CanFocus() from the parent form when I create my custom control and it returns false. Is there a property or something to set? Hans Passant UserControl will fight you tooth and nail to avoid getting the focus. It has code that

This is my first foray into custom controls, and it's not going well. I have a custom graph control derived from Canvas. namespace Grapher2 { public class SeriesManager : Canvas { public SeriesManager() { ... } } } It's defined in the same project and namespace as my app. I tried adding a reference to the control in XAML as follows: <Window x:Class="Grapher2.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:graph="clr-namespace:Grapher2" Title="Grapher" Width="800" Height="600"> <StackPanel Name="container"

I am creating a custom WPF control that let's say for simplicity sake has a vertical stack panel with a "title" TextBlock, followed by a ContentPresenter. I want the font size for the "title" to be 5 Points LARGER than the size used in the content, which is inherited by whatever container the user places this control in. How can I specify a font size in the control template for the header element using a relative value without exposing a property like "TitleFontSize" to the user? I want do "add 5". I tried using a ScaleTransform on the header text block with mixed results (the text block

I try to use enum type as a dependency property in my custom control, but always get an error: public enum PriceCategories { First = 1, Second = 2, Third = 3, Fourth = 4, Fifth = 5, Sixth = 6 } public static readonly DependencyProperty PriceCatProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("PriceCat", typeof(PriceCategories), typeof(CustControl), new PropertyMetadata(PriceCategories.First)); }; public PriceCategories PriceCat // here I get an error "Expected class, delegate, enum, interface or struct" { get { return (PriceCategories)GetValue(PriceCatProperty); } set { SetValue(PriceCatProperty, value)

I'd like to create an ItemsControl where child items are placed like a WrapPanel , but child Items should take as much space as it can. So that when the window size gets larger or smaller, the child items should stretch according to a certain width:height ratio. When the child items get added or removed from the ItemsControl 's ItemsSource , the WrapPanel should place linebreaks among items appropriately to keep child item's width:height ratio. Below is what I have so far. Is it possible to do this in Xaml? or should I create a custom control for this? Thanks in advance! <Window> <Grid>

i want to create a field that looks like this ....can any one tell me how this could be done which field could i use where in i can select values by using the trackball/wheel or in case of storm i could slide... It could be simple Label or Bitmap Field extention, with navigation event handling. You will need to hold String array with values which will be changed in circle on horizontal navigation. If such custom Field is focused, draw Up and Down arrays. So, there will be one such Field for DayOfWeek, one for Month, one for DayOfMonth, one for Year. Place them all in HorizontalFieldManager,

I've made a custom control that inherits from a Literal control. When I try and use my control on a page a parsing error is thrown. I've added this to my web.config <configuration> <system.web> <pages> <controls> <add tagPrefix="one" namespace="myApplication.Controls"/> </controls> </pages> </system.web> </configuration> And I've added this to my page <%@ register namespace="myApplication.Controls" tagprefix="one" %> Neither of these have fixed the issue. I have a external assembly with some custom controls that work just fine within my project. As a workaround, I'm considering moving my
