TabControl inherited CustomControl doesn't show anything

TabControl inherited CustomControl doesn't show anything - c#

First of all I'm an amateur and non-english native speaker, so I would appreciate it if you would have a little patience with me ;)
Following another stackoverflow question, I've done a TabControl that expands itself (like an expander) just modifying the template of the original TabControl, so I can just alter the height of the control when any tab is selected.
That worked perfect, but needed some ViewModel properties for the logic. Now i need to use that control again and i thought the better way would be to make a CustomControl.
The problem I'm having is that the CustomControl are just lookless, no style are applied to it although I have specified styles for it in the Generic.xaml file, and the Build Action property to Page, revised the AsemblyInfo.cs, and used the DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata in the static constructor. All following other questions suggestions.
I think it'd be better to show the code I have now and then explain what more I've tried, I have to say that I was writing the logic when I noticed this, so it does not work right now.

And a little MainWindow.xaml for testing:
<Window x:Class="PRUEBA_TABBEDEXPANDER.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:PRUEBA_TABBEDEXPANDER"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<local:TabbedExpander TabStripPlacement="Top">
<TabItem Header="prueba1">
<TextBox Text="prueba1"/>
</TabItem>
</local:TabbedExpander>
</Grid>
That's my last try, my first try was to apply the TabbedExpanderTabControlStyle style directly to the custom control just changing the TargetType, then i've tried without adding the ItemsSProperty, just using the TabControl's inherited ItemsSource with the same syntax in the 'MainWindow.xaml`, and changing the syntax to:
<Grid>
<local:TabbedExpander TabStripPlacement="Top">
<local:TabbedExpander.ItemsS>
<TabItem Header="prueba1">
<TextBox Text="prueba1"/>
</TabItem>
</local:TabbedExpander.ItemsS>
</local:TabbedExpander>
</Grid>
As well as <local:TabbedExpander.Items> trying to use the TabControl's inherited Items.
The only thing that worked was to merge the Generic.xaml as a ResourceDictionary and apply TabbedExpanderTabControlStyle directly to the custom control... which I suppose is NOT the correct way to do it... right? Because i would have to apply the style to every custom control I would add to my application...
I suppose that either I'm doing something wrong applying the style, or using the tabitems collections, but right now I'm out of ideas :(
Any idea?

Normally you'd add your generic style to your window (or other high-level control) resource dictionary like this:
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/Generic.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
So that all child controls will inherit it. Have you tried that?
Note, now you've created a custom control you'll want to change the target type of your style and it will apply to all instances of your control in your application. (though looks like you've already thought of that)
If you are using this control elsewhere it might be worth having the style in it's own file, then other projects can include it in their own generic/windows resource directories. This is how wellknown libraries like MahhApps.Metro work, for example with their controls my generic.xaml might look like this:
<ResourceDictionary ...>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.xaml" />
... other imported resource dictionaries
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
...my application specific stuff...
</ResourceDictionary>

wpf - A multistage button

I want to implement a button, that have 4 stage (Stage1/Stage2/Stage3/Stage4)
and I want to click on it, the text and style will change (Stage1 -> Stage2 -> Stage3 -> Stage4 -> Stage1 -> ....)
Here is my XAML button code.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="StageButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Button
Width="102"
Tag="1"
Click="Hello_Click"
BorderThickness="0"
Background="Transparent"
Cursor="Hand">
<Border
BorderThickness="2"
BorderBrush="Gray"
CornerRadius="10"
Background="Green"
Width="100"
Height="20"
>
<TextBlock
Width="100"
Foreground="White"
FontWeight="Bold"
FontSize="12"
Padding="14 1 0 0"
Text="Stage1"
/>
</Border>
</Button>
</ControlTemplate>
Thanks for help

You can make a custom Button with incremental stage (starting at 1) functionality:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
public class StagedButton : Button
{
public int Stage
{
get { return (int)GetValue(StageProperty); }
set { SetValue(StageProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty StageProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Stage", typeof(int), typeof(StagedButton),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(1, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, null,
(d, baseValue) => Math.Min(((StagedButton)d).StageCount, Math.Max(1, (int)baseValue))));
public int StageCount
{
get { return (int)GetValue(StageCountProperty); }
set { SetValue(StageCountProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty StageCountProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("StageCount", typeof(int), typeof(StagedButton),
new PropertyMetadata(1, null,
(d, baseValue) => Math.Max(1, (int)baseValue)));
protected override void OnClick()
{
var stage = Stage;
Stage = (++stage <= StageCount) ? stage : 1;
base.OnClick();
}
}
StageCount is the number of stages. (d, baseValue) => ... part is to filter out invalid values.
Then define a Style for this Button.
<Style x:Key="StagedButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type local:StagedButton}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="100"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="20"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="LightGray"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#c42a1c"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="TextElement.FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
<Setter Property="TextElement.FontSize" Value="12"/>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:StagedButton}">
<Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="10">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<!-- Set 4 to StageCount. -->
<Setter Property="StageCount" Value="4"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- Define Background for each Stage (up to 4) except default one. -->
<Trigger Property="Stage" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DodgerBlue"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Stage" Value="3">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Stage" Value="4">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DimGray"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
You can increase the number of stages if you wish.
Its usage will be as follows:
<local:StagedButton Style="{StaticResource StagedButtonStyle}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Stage, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type local:StagedButton}}, StringFormat=Stage {0}}"/>
</local:StagedButton>

How to remove gradient effect appearing for IsMouseOver in WPF ListViewItem's style?

In the following Window I define a trigger for IsMouseOver. The background color is changed correctly, but it has an gradient effect. See the pic below. How to get rid of the effect?

I had some issues with the given code sample, e.g. missing resources or additional options:Freeze="true" which could not be resolved, therefore my solution may look a little different, but I think it does what you want: it removes the gradient effect.
The issue is that the default ListViewItem template has triggers which change the background (as you have found out as well) and the way around is to use a simplified ControlTemplate without any triggers.
This example of a simplified template works and you can put it in your {x:Type ListViewItem} to get a look like shown in the pictures below.
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<GridViewRowPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
Using that template, this is what it will look like if you first selected "Sammy Doe 7" and then hover over "Jane Doe 39",
and this is how it looks when you select (e.g. click on) "Jane Doe 39":
I'm not entirely sure what you mean with
as jsanalytics points out control template results in rows to be class names and not the data
but as far as I understand it, above code should not lead to that behavior. If it does, let me know and I will find another solution.

TextBox not resetting focus when reopening the dropdown in a ComboBox

I have a customized ComboBox to handle the text input and filter the itemsource. The problem I'm having is when I open the ComboBox the textBox is focused and let me write in it, then if I close and open it again, the TextBox is not focused and I cant write anything inside. I've discovered that the first time the comboBox is opening it is setting the focus on the TextBox but when I close it the TextBox keeps its IsFocused property true so when reopening the problem happens. It's just when opening and reopening clicking the comboBox because if I click outside the ComboBox to close it and then open it again everything works nice.
Here is the customized style I wrote and the ComboBox I'm using.
<Style x:Key="FilteringComboBox" TargetType="ComboBox">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Auto" />

<Setter Property="Text" Value=""/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I tried adding this event handler to remove the focus but it isn't working
private static void QuantityBox_IsMouseCapturedWithin(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var qBox = sender as ComboBox;
if (qBox.IsDropDownOpen == false)
{
Keyboard.ClearFocus();
flag = true;
}
}

Hope that this helps someone, the erratic behaviour was happening because I was using these triggers:
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="True">
<Setter Property="IsDropDownOpen" Value="True"/>
<Setter TargetName="PART_EditableTextBox" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
<Setter TargetName="ContentSite" Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
<Setter Property="IsEditable" Value="True"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseCaptured" Value="False">
<Setter Property="IsDropDownOpen" Value="False"/>
<Setter TargetName="PART_EditableTextBox" Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
<Setter TargetName="ContentSite" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
<Setter Property="Text" Value=""/>
</Trigger>
The triggers were ment to handle the visibility toggle between the TexBlock and the TextBox (showing the TextBlock when the ComboBox was inactive and the TextBox when it is focused so the user can type and filter).
So I removed the triggers and handled that behaviour in a dependency property:
public static readonly DependencyProperty MouseCapturedProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("MouseCaptured",
typeof(bool), typeof(QuantitiesBoxBehaviours),
new UIPropertyMetadata(false, MouseCapturedPropertyChangedCallback));
public static bool GetMouseCaptured(UIElement element)
{
return (bool)element.GetValue(MouseCapturedProperty);
}
public static void SetMouseCaptured(UIElement element, bool command)
{
element.SetValue(MouseCapturedProperty, command);
}
private static void MouseCapturedPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var qBox = d as ComboBox;
bool value = GetMouseCaptured(qBox);
if (qBox != null && value)
{
qBox.IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged += QBox_IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged;
qBox.DropDownOpened += QBox_DropDownOpened;
}
}
private static void QBox_DropDownOpened(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var qBox = sender as ComboBox;
var template = qBox.Template;
var txtBox = template.FindName("PART_EditableTextBox", qBox) as TextBox;
var txtBlock = template.FindName("ContentSite", qBox) as TextBlock;
txtBlock.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
txtBox.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
private static void QBox_IsMouseCaptureWithinChanged(object sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var qBox = sender as ComboBox;
var template = qBox.Template;
var txtBox = template.FindName("PART_EditableTextBox", qBox) as TextBox;
var txtBlock = template.FindName("ContentSite", qBox) as TextBlock;
if (qBox.IsDropDownOpen == false)
{
Keyboard.ClearFocus();
txtBox.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
txtBlock.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
qBox.ItemsSource = _presentationQuantities;
flag = true;
}
}
That solved the problem and now it's working great, that property was set to the ComboBox.

default style of custom control in wpf

i want to design a flexible imagebutton in wpf.
first,i create a WPF Custom Control Library in nameSpace 'ImageButton' like below:
namespace ImageButton
{
public class ImageButton : Button
{
static ImageButton()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(ImageButton), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(ImageButton)));
}
#region DisplayMode
[System.ComponentModel.Category("ImageButton")]
public ImageDisplayMode DisplayMode
{
get { return (ImageDisplayMode)GetValue(DisplayModeProperty); }
set { SetValue(DisplayModeProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty DisplayModeProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("DisplayMode", typeof(ImageDisplayMode), typeof(ImageButton), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(ImageDisplayMode.ImageAboveText), displaymodevalidate);
public static bool displaymodevalidate(object value)
{
return value is ImageDisplayMode;
}
#endregion
}
}
in the namespace "ImageButton" i define a enum named 'ImageDisplayMode' like below:
public enum ImageDisplayMode
{
ImageAboveText = 1,
TextAboveImage = 2,
ImageBeforeText = 3,
TextBeforeImage = 4
}
and the Generic.xaml file modified like below:
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ImageButton">
<Style x:Name="style1" TargetType="{x:Type local:ImageButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:ImageButton}">
<Button Background="Transparent">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Name="img1" Width="{TemplateBinding ImageWidth}" Stretch="{TemplateBinding ImageStretch}" Height="{TemplateBinding ImageHeight}" Source="{TemplateBinding Image}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Name="lbl1" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}"/>
</Grid>
</Button>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
the result of above code is below figure:
[Image]
Text
i want:
when i change the value of 'DisplayMode' property of imagebutton,for each possible value ,control changes to below forms:
1-------------------------------------
[Image]
Text
2-------------------------------------
Text
[Image]
3-------------------------------------
[Image]Text
4--------------------------------------
Text[Image]
i guess ,i must define trigger in the grid in Generic.xaml codes like below:
<Grid.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="DisplayMode" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="lbl1" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="img1" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
</Grid.Triggers>
please tell me :
How can i do it?
Thank you Very Much

Add the triggers to your style (i.e. <Style.Triggers>...</Style.Triggers>).
I.e. something like this:
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="DisplayMode" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="lbl1" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="img1" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>

thanks fmunkert ...
I move my triggers to ControlTemplate.Triggers and change Trigger.Value from "2" to "ImageAboveText" ( one of my custom enum items ) like below:
Before Edit:
<Trigger Property="DisplayMode" Value="2">
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="lbl1" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="img1" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
After Edit:
<Trigger Property="DisplayMode" Value="ImageAboveText">
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="lbl1" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Grid.Row" TargetName="img1" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
my problem solved successfully....
Thank you.
