A year ago or so when I started working on WPF I collected bits and bolts in Google’s Notebooks and lost all of it along the way. I found it back in some cache and dump it here in the hope it will be more safe here, for myself or others.

IScrollInfo

Lots of useful methods are available directly in the children of the ScrollViewer.

[xml]


Button 1


[/xml]
which can be controlled in the following way
[csharp]
private void onLoad(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
((IScrollInfo)sp1).CanVerticallyScroll = true;
((IScrollInfo)sp1).CanHorizontallyScroll = true;
((IScrollInfo)sp1).ScrollOwner = sv1;
}

private void spLineUp(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
((IScrollInfo)sp1).LineUp();
}
private void spLineDown(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
((IScrollInfo)sp1).LineDown();
}
[/csharp]

Binding to enums

I have the following enumeration in the code behind of this sample:
[csharp]
public enum TShirtSizes
{
Small,
Medium,
Large
}
[/csharp]
In the UI of my application, I have a ComboBox and I want the entries in that ComboBox to display the values in the enum.

This is really easy to do. It turns out that there is a static method on Enum that returns an Array of all the values of a particular enumeration. This is how we could get the array of values through code:

Enum.GetValues(typeof(TShirtSizes));

Binding to this method can easily be done in XAML by using ObjectDataProvider:
[xml]

Select the size of your TechEd T-Shirt:


[/xml]

XAML anims in function of events

The interesting bit is here how to animate properties in function of events. The rectangle will resize when the mouse is over it and retract when left.
[xml]

[/xml]

Styling the tabcontrol

Try setting the IsEnabled property to ‘False’; the colors will change as defined in the style.
