Tell me...
What on God's green earth does this have to do with Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation or Windows Workflow Foundation?

I'm having this weird minor problem that I can't seem to figure out, probably because I don't understand enough of why it's happening.
I have an ImageDrawing that I draw some shapes in, and then animate those shapes. Due to the animation, the size of the drawing changes, as do its edges relative to the "center" of the drawing, if you will, (or any fixed point in the drawing).
What's happening is WPF is treating the image as an encapsulated object whose dimensions keep changing, resulting in it constantly "re-centering" itself, which results in my drawing moving around on the window when I want it to be completely fixed (so that the individual shapes animate, but the drawing as a whole stays in the same spot).
Basically as far as I can tell is happening is the drawing is being "trimmed" (like in Photoshop), rather than staying a fixed size like a canvas. Any idea how to stop this happening?
I've tried a few things like giving the Image a fixed width and height, but the drawing inside it still does the same trimming thing. Also I can't set HorizontalAlignment or VerticalAlignment because the top/bottom and left/right edges of the drawing still change (thanks again to the trimming).

I suppose I could put some invisible rectangle large enough to cover the area, but there must be a better way...

Well I changed things around to use Line objects on a Canvas instead of LineGeometry's in an ImageDrawing and now I'm not having that problem.
Not sure if I will incur a performance penalty doing it this way, but it seems a lot easier, and besides, it will allow me to do other things I was wanting to do (such as change opacity of individual pieces of the drawing) that I didn't realize weren't possible doing it the other way, so I think I'll stick with this.
One more question for anyone who happens to be paying attention:
It seems rather cumbersome to have to declare the stroke color, stroke thickness, start cap and end cap for every single Line object I create. It would be much handier if I could group these under some logical parent, and attach those properties once to the parent, and have them inherited by each child Line.
In fact, I thought this was the whole point of attached properties, yet when I try to attach Shape.StrokeThickness (for example) to Canvas, I get an error that it can't find the attachable property.
Is there some other way to achieve the same thing?

I need to create an application that will display the output of a Surveillance System.
What I need to do is having three layers of image (can be zoom in and out). The user will zoom the first layer until max and enter the second layer and so on. Each of this layer of image, I will need to draw points of where the activity has occurred. And each of this point is clickable and will pop up a new window.
Anybody has a general idea on how to achieve this in WPF?
I am very new to WPF and hope that somebody could help me on this.

Not sure what you mean by your zooming scenario (what do you mean "enter the second layer"?), but it's easy enough to draw vector shapes on-top of an image using either a Grid or Canvas since both of those support multiple children. A Grid is probably your best bet as it's more flexible, yet simple to use as a single-cell:
(I'm using ['s instead of angle brackets)
[Grid]
[Image ... /]
[Ellipse ... /]
[/Grid]
If you want programmatic/declarative control over the layering order use ZIndex.

Hi chaiguy1337, Thanks for you help .. but what I need to do is a bit more complicated.
Let me explain the process flow here.
- In the user interface, I have to place a cctv image that will cover a room in a building. And this building has three floors.
- User could use the mouse scroller/ or a slider to zoom in and out of the image. User also can zoom in the first floor to second floor and so on.
-To add to the pain, I will have to do a vector drawing based on the parameter sent from the surveillance system.
-This drawing will plots the activities that has happen in the room. It could take the shape of rectangular, star and etc.
-This plots of point is clickable and when the user click on the plot, a new window will pop-up showing the exact time frame the activities has happen.
My project manager also suggested it has to be done some what like a 3D scene. While zooming, some effect like fade before entering the second floor will take place.
I have no idea how to do that. Help..

You should be able to produce a live feed into a "visual" element that sits in your window. The vector drawing should not be hard via Shape-derived objects (rectangle, line, polygon, etc.) and come with hit-testing built-in so you can just subscribe to a MouseDown on the shape object (you can draw the shape directly on top of the video feed via Canvas). Presumably you will draw the shape based on those parameters you receive.
(For bonus points, you could even animate them between frames--I bet your manager would be impressed with that! Then again if the framerate is high enough there would be no point.)
I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean about a 3D scene, or "entering" the second floor, however fading is quite easy in WPF by animating the opacity of an element. You could, for example, have two video feed visuals and fade one out as the other fades in.
Hope this helps,
Logan

Hi
just got a copy of blend and have been trying to figure out what the design process is for building an application using visual studio 2005 and blend, basically the videos I have have been great at showing what you can do, but nothing about using blend with windows forms, how the hell do I apply designs done for user interface to a windows form. I am very used to build everything in visual studio and build all my code routines and functionality in VS, now blend looks like it lays the stuff out great but how do I view the elements built in blend on a windows form.
Any suggested walkthroughs for building a simple application in visual studio and using ui elements created in blend and then linking buttonclick events to code would be greatly appreciated, I have been trawling the internet and havent found anything of use yet.
Thanks

Hi everybody.
this is my code :
System.Timers.Timer aTimer = new
System.Timers.Timer(1000);
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
aTimer.Elapsed += new
System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler
(aTimer_Elapsed);
aTimer.Enabled = true;
}
void aTimer_Elapsed(object sender,
System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
secondHand.Angle = DateTime.Now.Second * 6;
}
and this is my XAML code :
<Rectangle Margin="150,0,149,150"
Name="rectangleSecond" Stroke="White"
Height="120" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
><Rectangle.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform x:Name="secondHand"
CenterX="0" CenterY="120"
Angle="0" />
</Rectangle.RenderTransform>
</Rectangle>
But there is an exception in it !
The calling thread cannot access this object because a different
thread owns it.
How can I solve it ?
Thanks in advance.

You could always code up something like this:
<Window x:Class="WpfTreeview.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="NodeTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@name}" />
<TextBlock Text=" : " />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@type}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<TreeView Name="treeView1" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource NodeTemplate}" />
</Grid>
</Window>

Can any one help
I have tried, Create one Custom Control using Custom Control(WPF) in visual studio 2005 and .net 3.0,
MyCustomButton
ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyCustomButton"
but I got the default error and can not open the Design Page.
Error: Assembly '' was not found. The 'clr-namespace' URI refers to an assembly that is not referenced by the project.
|
|
|
|
|
Either MyCustomButton is in an external reference which you need to add into your project and reference using the assembly syntax at the end or, if the button is in your project, it hasn't successfully built - and so, won't appear.

As the title above, is it possible to create an animated masking in WPF just like in adobe flash? Let's say I have a circle on the top layer as the mask and I have rectangle on second layer, I want to to make the circle grow from small to large and moving. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I´m trying to make an ellipse move along a path and there are some things I don´t get. What I don´t get is the positioning of the ellipse path. It moves along the path but not on the path. Actully it moves like an inch below. Why? They have the same pathgeo. Can anyone help me out?
I just have an ellipse and a path in my wpf app and the code looks like this.
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MatrixAnimationUsingPath anima = new MatrixAnimationUsingPath();
MatrixTransform xform = new MatrixTransform();
PathGeometry pathGeo = path1.Data.GetFlattenedPathGeometry();
e1.RenderTransform = xform;
anima.PathGeometry = pathGeo;
anima.BeginTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0);
xform.BeginAnimation(MatrixTransform.MatrixProperty, anima);
}

I've just bought an upgrade to Blend 2, which I notice still doesn't appear to be able to target silverlight 2.
I see that the 2.5 preview does, but I can't seem to find any info on what the upgrade path (any costs and timescale) will be. Has anyone seen any details of what this will be?
|

The Expression team has said that Blend will continue to rev as Silverlight revs. I'm not sure whether there will be a full studio update when Silverlight ships, but I would expect a more finalized release or service pack for Blend at that time.
You can view upgrade information here:
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Upgrade.aspx[^]
Service packs and minor releases are of course free. When Blend went from 1.0 to 2.0 the upgrade cost was $99. You can also buy a subscription for continuous updates.
Other ways to get Expression:
If you have an MSDN Pro license you have Expression Blend already.
If you have an MSDN Pro Premium license you have Expression Studio already.
If you are a college student you have access to Expression Studio through DreamSpark:
https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com[^]
DreamSpark is currently only available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Germany, France, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium.

Thanks Jared,
Could you just clarify, are you saying that silverlight 2.x will correspond to Blend 2.x, and therefore Silverlight 2 support will *likely* be added to Blend 2 as a (free) service pack -
Or - When Silverlight 2 is finally released, a new release of Blend 3 will fully support it, which is likely to be available at an upgrade cost?
Obviously it's all guesswork to a certain extent until it's announced, but intelligent guesses are usually better than my guesses 
Cheers,
Steve
