I'm trying to make an RSS reader in WPF. Everything works fine in terms of getting the data, but when the description is loaded, some websites use XML to format the description and add images, etc. to it. What is the best way to convert the XML code that they use and convert it into something that XAML can use?
Thanks.

Search google for "html to xaml". RSS descriptions would be in html or xhtml, for display on a web page.
This[^] looks promising.

Can someone show me how to add the
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" as a property to the WPF Listbox properties. I have the code below:
Public Property HorizontalScrollBar() As ScrollViewer
Get
HorizontalScrollBar.VerticalScrollBarVisibility = ScrollBarVisibility.Visible
End Get
Set(ByVal value As New ScrollViewer()
Dim sv As New ScrollViewer()
Me.HorizontalScrollBar = value
End Set
End Property
Thanks

Your code doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but to add a dependency property to an object, say myListBox, do this:
myListBox.SetValue( ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibilityProperty, ScrollBarVisibility.Visible );
I presume that would work, but I don't know for sure.

Hi All,
I've been plodding through msdn (and several websites including this excellent one  ) and meddling around for the last few hours to find a solution to the aforementioned issue and was wondering if any kind soul would be willing to offer some assistance
I'm in the middle of writing a simple reporting application. The application should function as follows:
1. A TreeView is populated with a load of XML Tag names
2. The displayed TreeViewItem(s) (the XML tags) are dragged and dropped onto a RichTextBox
3. The items should become ReadOnly so the user doesn't accidentally delete any parts of the tag (thus messing up the report generation), although the user should be able to delete the object entirely by selecting the whole thing
4. The reporting magic happens
I can insert the tags as hyperlinks but it's a naff approach and I'd quite like to have the tags as objects in their own right as it's possible that users might want to insert their own hyperlinks....
Anyone got any ideas? It's been doing my head in for the last few hours...
Cheers,
Drew

The only way I can think of doing this would be to extend the RTB and insert a custom run, which you would use. You would basically handle the keypresses in your RTB and see if you were inside the run - if you were, you'd suppress the keypresses - if not, you'd let them bubble up.

Thanks Pete! I'd actually come to the same conclusion and was hoping there was an easier way 
Cheers,

Just incase anyone hits the same issues as I did, the solution to this problem is quite simple and was solved using an InlineUIContainer and TextBlock (although it took me ages to figure it out) and I've pasted the code snipped below for your reference:
void rtb2_SelectionChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Match m = Regex.Match(rtb2.Selection.Text.ToString(), "<.*>");
if(m.Success)
{
string tag = m.ToString();
TextRange tr = new TextRange(rtb2.Selection.Start,rtb2.Selection.End);
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
tr.Save(ms, DataFormats.Rtf);
string rtbString = ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray());
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex findTags =
new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("<.*>");
rtbString = findTags.Replace(rtbString, "");
System.IO.MemoryStream msOut = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
System.IO.StreamWriter sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(msOut);
sw.Write(rtbString);
sw.Flush();
msOut.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
tr.Load(msOut, DataFormats.Rtf);
TextBlock myTextBlock = new TextBlock(new Run(tag));
myTextBlock.Background = Brushes.WhiteSmoke;
TextPointer tp = rtb2.CaretPosition.GetInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
InlineUIContainer myInlineUIContainer = new InlineUIContainer(myTextBlock, tp);
}
And there you have it, my first codeproject solution Hope it proves useful to someone!
Happy coding,
Drew

Nice one Drew. Well done.

Super, thanks! This will definitely help me figure out some stuff I've been planning to look at (but putting off).
Always great when someone else can do the figuring out for you. 
Cheers.

It looks to me like you either have a namespace issue, or you're trying to add the wrong type somewhere. For example, if UserControl1 is a WPF control (which it appears to be), you can't add that to a windows forms panel. Use the Canvas class instead.
The windows forms host is for hosting windows forms controls inside a WPF window.

Hi,
Can we have a custom control which works like our asp.net datalist control.
Actually I want its repeatcolumn functionality.
I had tried few things as below
<window.resources>
<serviceimages x:key="serviceImages" xmlns="clr-namespace:OptiQ_TokenGen.Controller" xmlns:x="#unknown" />
</window.resources>
<canvas>
<wrappanel canvas.left="70" canvas.top="250" width="600" height="600" orientation="Horizontal">
<itemscontrol itemssource="{Binding Source={StaticResource serviceImages}}">
<itemscontrol.itemtemplate>
<datatemplate>
<image source="{Binding Path=NormalImage}" />
</datatemplate>
</itemscontrol.itemtemplate>
</itemscontrol>
</wrappanel>
</canvas>
Here ItemsControl which actually shows my bounded things in images and its parent control is WrapPanel which should wrap its inner control but i dont know what is wrong with this its not doing so.
Help me out.
thanks

I'm looking for a simple way for a part of a window to become transparent, like a hole, that "cuts through" what it is directly on top of and shows what is underneath.
Or, more concretely, I want to design a little close button that is a circle with an X, but I want the X to actually be a hole in the circle that you can "see through" to whatever the button is sitting on.
Before you answer, here's my guess:
Create a circle, then create a region marking the "X", and subtract that region from the circle, treating the final shape as the button.
The question is how easy is this (can it be done in XAML?), and are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
Cheers
Logan

...yeah... that's the general idea. Lol thanks. Alas I don't have Fireworks, and I don't think I know enough to tweak those seemingly random values by hand.
It looks good tho, so I might just use that for now, if you don't have any objections.

You mean you can't read them? And I thought they were soooooo obvious.

No bother ... the timing is impeccable as I was looking to use the Infragistics DockManager control ...
Mmmm ... WPF goodness!

I have a custom control that expands upon mouse click, if i put my control in a groupbox, the border of the group box gets drawn on top of the part that expands outside the groupbox size. Any idea how to make this appear on TOP of it? I want to make it like the ComboBox dropdown works by default (always on top of anything).
|

|

Then would you also have to manage the location of the popup when the window is moved, as it does not move with the window once displayed. Is there not a better way to implement this?
|
|
|
|

Not if you want it to extend past the bounds of its containing layout panel, at least not any that I know of (but then again I'm new to this too).
