WPF can't find resource - c#

I have a question about finding resources in WPF, and I read the mechanism of finding resources from book.
It said that a UIElement will find its resources attribute first, if nothing fit then it will find its parent's resources attribute and so on, till application resources attribute.
I think it just like bubble routed event.
So I define a resource in stackpanel, here is the xaml.
<Window x:Class="DynamicResource.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DynamicResource"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<StackPanel x:Name="stackPanel">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<TextBlock x:Key="res1" Text="this is staticresource" Background="Beige"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Key="res2" Text="this is dynamicresource" Background="DarkGoldenrod"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<Button Margin="5,5,5,0" Content="{StaticResource res1}"></Button>
<Button Margin="5,5,5,0" Content="{DynamicResource res2}"></Button>
<Button x:Name="button" Margin="5,5,5,0" Content="refresh resource" Click="Button_Click"></Button>
</StackPanel>
Then I try to change dynamic resource in the button click event, here is xaml.cs
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//Can find target resource
//stackPanel.Resources["res1"] = new TextBlock() { Text = "this is new staticresource", Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Tan) };
//stackPanel.Resources["res2"] = new TextBlock() { Text = "this it new dynamicresouce", Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Magenta) };
//Can't find target resource
button.Resources["res1"] = new TextBlock() { Text = "this is new staticresource", Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Tan) };
button.Resources["res2"] = new TextBlock() { Text = "this it new dynamicresouce", Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Magenta) };
}
}
But the resource of button didn't change.
So what cause this happened, and how could to bubbly find resources.

you must set name for button and use this name in code behind
in xaml:
<Button Margin="5,5,5,0" Name="btnRes2" Content="{DynamicResource res2}"></Button>
in code behind :
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
btnRes2.Resources["res2"] = new TextBlock() { Text = "this it new dynamicresouce", Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Magenta) };
}
this code work for DynamicResource.

How to add Material design to Task pane VSTO?

I'm trying to build a word Add-in using VSTO, my add-in has a Task pane with WPF user control, is it possible to apply material design styling to the user control knowing that there is no app.xml in the VSTO project?
here is the user control XML
<UserControl x:Class="Test.MainTaskPane"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestUserControl"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="450" d:DesignWidth="800">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="80" HorizontalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text=" test the task pane" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Button x:Name="btnUpdate" Content=" click me " Click="btnUpdate_Click"/>
</StackPanel>
and I'm calling this user control using ElementHost
private UserControl _MainTaskPane;
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.CustomTaskPane _DataTaskPane;
private bool _isTaskPaneVisibile=false;
public void setupTaskPane()
{
_MainTaskPane = new UserControl();
ElementHost _eh = new ElementHost { Child = new MainTaskPane() };
_MainTaskPane.Controls.Add(_eh);
_eh.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
if (!_isTaskPaneVisibile)
{
_DataTaskPane = CustomTaskPanes.Add(_MainTaskPane, "Test task pane");
_DataTaskPane.DockPosition = Office.MsoCTPDockPosition.msoCTPDockPositionRight;
_DataTaskPane.Visible = true;
_DataTaskPane.Width = 300;
_isTaskPaneVisibile = true;
}
else
{
_DataTaskPane.Visible = !_DataTaskPane.Visible;
_DataTaskPane.Width = 300;
}
}

RichTextBox becomes ReadOnly when binding it to content from inside FlowDocumentReader

Question: In the btnRevert_Click(...) event of the following code, how can we make the RichTextBox editable?
In my WPF .NET5 app, the btnTest_Click(...) event successfully displays the contents of a RichTextBox into a FlowDocumentReader (fdReader). Then the btnRevert_Click(...) event successfully takes the content back from fdReader and displays it back into RichTextBox, but it makes the RichTextBox ReadOnly.
I tested the scenario by entering simple text "This is a test" inside RichTextBox, and noted that the above back and forth scenario works fine except that the btnRevert_Click(...) event makes the text "This is a test" ReadOnly.
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="Wpf_RTBFlowDocTest.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Wpf_RTBFlowDocTest"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<Grid>
<DockPanel Name="mainPanel">
<ToolBar Name="mainToolBar" Height="30" DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Button x:Name="btnTest" Content="Test" Click="btnTest_Click"/>
<Button x:Name="btnRevert" Content="Revert" Click="btnRevert_Click"/>
</ToolBar>
<RichTextBox Name="rtbTest" AcceptsTab="True"></RichTextBox>
<FlowDocumentReader x:Name="fdReader" Visibility="Collapsed">
<FlowDocument>
<Paragraph>Text inside paragraph.</Paragraph>
</FlowDocument>
</FlowDocumentReader>
</DockPanel>
</Grid>
</Window>
MainWindow.xaml.cs:
private void btnTest_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
FlowDocument RTBflowDoc = rtbTest.Document;
rtbTest.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
rtbTest.Document = new FlowDocument();
fdReader.Document = RTBflowDoc;
fdReader.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
private void btnRevert_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
FlowDocument fdReaderFlowDoc = fdReader.Document;
fdReader.Document = new FlowDocument();
rtbTest.IsReadOnly = false;
rtbTest.Document = fdReaderFlowDoc;
rtbTest.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
The FlowDocumentReader provides a control to view a flow content (doesn't support edit).
The following lines in btnRevert_Click() method, from question above, just set rtbTest.Document to fdReader.Document:
FlowDocument fdReaderFlowDoc = fdReader.Document;
fdReader.Document = new FlowDocument();
rtbTest.Document = fdReaderFlowDoc;
But because of the FlowDocument in the FlowDocumentReader control doesn't support editing, the easiest way to obtain document from the FlowDocumentReader control for editing is to clone it like below:
private void btnRevert_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var range = new TextRange(fdReader.Document.ContentStart, fdReader.Document.ContentEnd);
if (!range.IsEmpty)
{
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
range.Save(stream, DataFormats.XamlPackage);
var copyto = new TextRange(rtbTest.Document.ContentEnd, rtbTest.Document.ContentEnd);
copyto.Load(stream, DataFormats.XamlPackage);
}
}
rtbTest.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
fdReader.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

How to bind image source [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Databindings don't seem to refresh
(1 answer)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am trying to bind image source, the thing is that:
I have a folder with a filesystemwatcher - each time a new image file is added to the folder - I'm getting the full path of the image and want to bind that to the source of the image control.
So the images will change automatically in the GUI everytime a new TIFF file is added to the folder.
This is what I've done:
XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="button" Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="414,159,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Click="button_Click"/>
<Image x:Name="img1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" RenderTransformOrigin="1.604,1.161" Source="{Binding ButtonImage}" />
</Grid>
</Window>
MainWindow.xaml.cs
private ImageSource b;
public ImageSource ButtonImage
{
get { return b; }
set
{
b = value;
}
}
private void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ButtonImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(#"C:\Users\x\Desktop\1.tif"));
watch();
}
private void watch()
{
FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
watcher.Path = #"C:\Users\x\Desktop\ti";
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
watcher.Filter = "*.tif";
}
private void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
ButtonImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri(e.FullPath));
}
Raise property changed event in the property setter
public ImageSource ButtonImage
{
get { return b; }
set
{
b = value;
PropertyChanged("ButtonImage");
}
}
Create a viewmodel and move the property there and set the DataContext of your view to this viewmodel
If you are using code behind then don't use binding
Give a name to the Image
img.Source=value;

DependencyPropertyDescriptor help required

I have a simple WPF app, where I have a combobox and a label, using dependency property I want to show the selected Item in label, when user select any item in the combobox, label will be changed accordingly.
Here is my code.
public event EventHandler _itemChanged;
public MainWindow()
{
List<String> items = new List<string>();
items.Add("C");
items.Add("C++");
items.Add("C#");
items.Add("Java");
items.Add("Js");
InitializeComponent();
combx.ItemsSource = items;
_itemChanged += MainWindow__itemChanged;
DependencyPropertyDescriptor dpcombx;
dpcombx =
DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty((DependencyProperty)
ComboBox.SelectedValueProperty, typeof(ComboBox));
dpcombx.AddValueChanged(dpcombx, _itemChanged);
}
void MainWindow__itemChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ComboBox cb = (ComboBox) sender;
lbl_Combx.Content = (string)cb.SelectedItem;
}
The problem is, EventHandler is not getting called. Please help me.
here is the XAML
<Window x:Class="DP.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<ComboBox Name="combx"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="57,121,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="120" />
<Label Content=""
x:Name="lbl_Combx"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="368,182,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</Grid>
</Window>
You need to pass the dependency object (comboBox) in the AddValueChanged instead of its property descriptor.
dpcombx.AddValueChanged(combx, _itemChanged);

KinectColorViewer SDK 1.7

I'm trying to make KinectColorViewer to work with SDK 1.7 but without success. I can display video picture only if I manually copy pixels from camera to Image element.
I have the following XAML:

this.InitializeComponent();
// initialize the sensor chooser and UI
this.sensorChooser = new KinectSensorChooser();
//Assign the sensor chooser with the sensor chooser from the mainwindow.
//We are reusing the sensorchoosing declared in the first window that can in contact with kinect
this.sensorChooser = Generics.GlobalKinectSensorChooser;
//subscribe to the sensorChooserOnKinectChanged event
this.sensorChooser.KinectChanged += SensorChooserOnKinectChanged;
//Assign Kinect Sensorchooser to the sensorchooser we got from our static class
this.sensorChooserUi.KinectSensorChooser = sensorChooser;
// Bind the sensor chooser's current sensor to the KinectRegion
var regionSensorBinding = new Binding("Kinect") { Source = this.sensorChooser };
BindingOperations.SetBinding(this.kinectRegion, KinectRegion.KinectSensorProperty, regionSensorBinding);
}
private void SensorChooserOnKinectChanged(object sender, KinectChangedEventArgs args)
{
bool error = false;
if (args.OldSensor != null)

{
args.OldSensor.DepthStream.Range = DepthRange.Default;
args.OldSensor.SkeletonStream.EnableTrackingInNearRange = false;
args.OldSensor.DepthStream.Disable();
args.OldSensor.SkeletonStream.Disable();
args.OldSensor.ColorStream.Disable();
}
catch (InvalidOperationException)

// KinectSensor might enter an invalid state while enabling/disabling streams or stream features.
// E.g.: sensor might be abruptly unplugged.
error = true;
}
}
if (args.NewSensor != null)

In tutorial I was following (http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/KinectQuickstart/Camera-Fundamentals) instructor just drops KinectColorViewer to a screen, sets path and it's working.
The KinectColorViewer available in the KinectWpfViewers assembly is used in the "Kinect Explorer" example, and that is the best place to see how it is used and behaves. From this example you will find that the proper way to initialize the viewer in the XAML and the bindings that are necessary.
From the code you posted, you appear to binding the Kinect itself (a reference to the hardware) to the KinectColorViewer, which is not what it is expecting. You need to be setting a reference to a KinectSensorManager class, which is part of the KinectWpfViewers assembly.
Here is a simplified XAML with a KinectColorViewer
<Window x:Class="Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.KinectExplorer.KinectWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.KinectExplorer"
xmlns:kt="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.WpfViewers;assembly=Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.WpfViewers"
Title="Kinect Explorer" Width="812" Height="768">
<Grid>
<kt:KinectColorViewer x:Name="ColorViewer" KinectSensorManager="{Binding KinectSensorManager}" CollectFrameRate="True" RetainImageOnSensorChange="True" />
</Grid>
</Window>
Then you XAML.CS constructor will look something similar to:
public KinectWindow()
{
this.viewModel = new KinectWindowViewModel();
// The KinectSensorManager class is a wrapper for a KinectSensor that adds
// state logic and property change/binding/etc support, and is the data model
// for KinectDiagnosticViewer.
this.viewModel.KinectSensorManager = new KinectSensorManager();
Binding sensorBinding = new Binding("KinectSensor");
sensorBinding.Source = this;
BindingOperations.SetBinding(this.viewModel.KinectSensorManager, KinectSensorManager.KinectSensorProperty, sensorBinding);
// Attempt to turn on Skeleton Tracking for each Kinect Sensor
this.viewModel.KinectSensorManager.SkeletonStreamEnabled = true;
this.DataContext = this.viewModel;
InitializeComponent();
}
Review the "Kinect Explorer" example for complete details.
I had the same problem with using KinectSensorManager. It turns out you need to call to Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.Wpf.Viewers and not just the kinect.dll, kinect.toolkit.dll, and kinect.controls.dll.
However, when I implemented KinectSensorManager, then the KinectUI and SensorChooser stopped working on my xaml interface.
