There’s a handy method in System.IO.Path which can help with this: return Path.GetFullPath(“Resources/image.jpg”); This should return ‘C:\Folders\MoreFolders\Resources\image.jpg’ or whatever the full path is in your context. It will use the current working folder as the starting point. Link to MSDN documentation on GetFullPath.
Solved! After googling around I was inspired by the P/Invoke method of directly calling Windows printers. So the solution is to use the Print Spooler API functions to directly call the Microsoft Print to PDF printer available in Windows (make sure the feature is installed though!) and giving the WritePrinter function the bytes of an … Read more
Taking the hint from the comment added to my question, I did this: private string _previewWindowXaml = @”<Window xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2007/xaml/presentation” xmlns:x =’http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml’ Title=”Print Preview – @@TITLE” Height=”200″ Width=”300″ WindowStartupLocation =’CenterOwner’> <DocumentViewer Name=”dv1″/> </Window>”; internal void DoPreview(string title) { string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName(); FlowDocumentScrollViewer visual = (FlowDocumentScrollViewer)(_parent.FindName(“fdsv1”)); try { // write the XPS document using (XpsDocument doc … Read more
You can use the same approach as in WinForms with some adaptation: use WindowInteropHelper to get HWND (instead of Handle property of a form) use HwndSource to handle window messages (instead of overriding WndProc of a form) don’t use Key enumeration from WPF – it’s values are not the ones you want Complete code: [DllImport(“User32.dll”)] … Read more
If I understand your question correctly then you want to truly simulate input. In that case SendInput is the way to go. From this link PInvoke to SendInput – this is the official way to simulate input. It pushes the input through all of the expected code paths, and is indistinguishable from real input. An … Read more
If you follow the recommended MVVM pattern for WPF, you can treat your generated classes as the Model, and then write ViewModel wrappers that implement INotifyPropertyChanged. The ViewModel classes would access your DB classes and expose properties that you can bind to your UI in XAML. As noted in your comment, this can result in … Read more
Try use DataGridTemplateColumn. I created sample test class for databinding public class Test { public Test(string name, string attribute1, string attribute2) { Name = name; Attributes = new Attribute(attribute1, attribute2); } public string Name { get; set; } public Attribute Attributes { get; set; } } public class Attribute { public Attribute(string attribute1, string attribute2) … Read more
Background Information on UI Threading Models Normally an application has one “main” UI thread…and it may have 0 or more background/worker/non-UI threads where you (or the .NET runtime/framework) does background work. (…there’s a another special thread in WPF called the rendering thread but I will skip that for now…) For example, a simple WPF Application … Read more
I’ve found a good answer by Nir here. There are still some flaws, basically resizing in top right corner, bottom right corner and bottom side will be fine, other sides and corners are not. The bright side is, the aspect ratio is smoothly kept all the time. EDIT: I found a way to remove most … Read more
1. One way to source binding: You have to use SelectionChanged event. The easiest way is to write eventhandler in codebehind to “bind selecteditems” to viewmodel. //ViewModel public ICollectionView BusinessCollection {get; set;} public List<YourBusinessItem> SelectedObject {get; set;} //Codebehind private void ListView_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { var viewmodel = (ViewModel) DataContext; viewmodel.SelectedItems = listview.SelectedItems .Cast<YourBusinessItem>() .ToList(); … Read more
