Simplified Glass in Windows Vista with WPF(genesisconduit.wordpress.com)

submitted by bhickenbottom(110) 3 years, 9 months ago

On Windows Vista, extending glass into the client area is not difficult but it isn’t as easy as setting a property on your Window. It requires interop calls, a check for the current OS, and a check to see if DWM composition is enabled. I created the Glass class to help simplify it’s usage. This class exposes an attached property of type Thickness... read more...

The Neglected Panel: UniformGrid(genesisconduit.wordpress.com)

submitted by bhickenbottom(110) 3 years, 9 months ago

In WPF there are Panels that get used often: the Canvas, DockPanel, Grid, StackPanel, and even the WrapPanel. These Panels feel a lot of love. The UniformGrid, not so much. While most Panels are displayed proudly in System.Windows.Controls, the UniformGrid has been pushed into the Primitives namespace along side the TabPanel and the ToolBarPanel, both of which are too specialized to be given any real attention. read more...

Gradual Text Animation Bug in WPF 3.5 SP1(genesisconduit.wordpress.com)

submitted by bhickenbottom(110) 3 years, 9 months ago

In WPF 3.5 SP1 they’ve apparently decreased the glyph snapping delay. This is resulting in a pronounced “jitter” when animating text over small distances as the text repeatedly jumps between different snap positions. read more...

What’s new in WPF 3.5 SP1: Splash Screen to improve perceived startup(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by wisemx(8074) 3 years, 9 months ago

Summary: To improve the perception of a more responsive startup experience many WPF applications added a Splash Screen to their startup. The Splash Screen, which does not use WPF code, shows as soon as possible and is displayed until the application main window is rendered. Up until 3.5 Sp1 we pointed developers to sample code available on this blog. In the .Net 3.5 SP1 release we added basic Splash Screen support and new APIs and we recommend that you take advantage of it. (See download locations below) We are distributing the Splash Screen Visual Studio 2008 Sp1 Item Template on WPF Futures sites on www.codeplex.com/wpf. read more...

XNA, Meet WPF(jmorrill.hjtcentral.com)

submitted by Lord(3737) 3 years, 9 months ago

The new D3DImage in WPF opens up worlds for WPF. Direct3D content rendered with WPF...it doesn't get any better! The downside is it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that Microsoft was only targeting unmanaged Direct3D. Yes there is Managed DirectX, but it seems as if MDX is no longer being maintained and it's not so obvious how to get a D3D surface pointer from the API. It really seems MDX has been left in the dust in favor for XNA, which is a very intuitive D3D wrapper. XNA further exacerbates the issue with XNA and WPF. read more...
