XAML Binding Properties
I was wondering how in WPF do you bind an object to a form, etc have all its properties linked to fields on the form?
Look at MVVM pattern.
This is a very good video I found very helpful to understand the topic for myself
MVVM Pattern explained
You need to go and read some tutorials on DataBinding.
Bing search : xaml + binding
But seriously http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms748857.aspx this is a good one from msdn wpf binding section

Creating a WPF Custom Control
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I would like to create a user control which represents a pie chart and offers some mouse-over (tooltips / highlighting) and on-click events for the different parts of the chart.
However since i can not see how this could be accomplished by combining and restyling any of the standard controls the only thing i can think of is drawing the parts of the chart one-by-one using System.Windows.Shapes and to try to generate a pie chart by piecing those together.
Since "drawing" my buttons on the UI doesn't seem right, i would like to know if there is some other way to get such a result. Ideally the proposed solution allows me to apply styles to the chart so that it doesn't look flat, but can be adapted to the look of other controls.
In order to fulfil your requirements, you will need to create a CustomControl. You can find a basic tutorial in the How to Create a WPF Custom Control page on WPF Tutorial.net, but you will need to do more than shown there.
You can find a better tutorial in the WPF Control Development Unleashed book and luckily for you, someone uploaded a PDF version of it here... take a look at chapter 3.
Have a look at this site. It explains how to draw arcs and manage custom shapes.

How to implement Balloon message in a WPF application
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
In WinForms you used to be able to do this:
ToolTip hint = new ToolTip();
hint.IsBalloon = true;
as described here: How to show a .NET Balloon ToolTip? to display a balloon, as described by Microsoft here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn742400.aspx
Where is this functionality in WPF? I can find lots of people detailing how they wrote their own, but where has this functionality gone?
EDIT:
I understand that there are questions out there on how to write your own or what code is available, but I'm asking - does anyone know why this functionality is recommended by Microsoft yet not included in what is meant to be their recommended UI language (WPF)?
There are some libraries out there that can help you. The other answers are correct though, WPF can be styled to look like whatever you want, the principle is the same though.
Check out https://toastspopuphelpballoon.codeplex.com/ for a library that does balloon pop-ups on WPF.
Check out the tutorial here.
<Button Content="Submit">
<Button.ToolTip>
<ToolTip>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold">Submit Request</TextBlock>
<TextBlock>Submits the request to the server.</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</ToolTip>
</Button.ToolTip>
</Button>
You can then use typical wpf binding to bind the textblock control data to properties on your viewmodels (if you are using mvvm) if you would like.

Page Navigation using MVVM in Store App
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Using the MVVM structure, i wish to redirect my View to a new viewpage from my ViewModel.
NavigationService seems to be able to accomplish this. By calling the NavigationService.Navigate to a new URI..
My problem is that i DON'T have NavigationService in Windows Universal App.
Is there a way to implement it?
I've been using: this.Frame.Navigate to navigate between views, but I can only use this on the codebehind of my view :(
How can i accomplish navigating my view from my viewmodel?
Why don't you use any library/framework? Anyway, here is an article about how you can implement navigation service to your project.

How can I customize the system menu of a Windows Form?
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I want to add a "Dock" option here in the menu. I've seen a lot of posts on how to override those options but first, i have to add my new item there and after that, define the functionality for it.
You need to override the ContextMenu property of the control you want to add the option to.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa984254(v=vs.71).aspx is the MSDN article that explains how you can do this. it's doable both in the design mode and the code-behind.
