I have created a XamMenu in my silverlight page. It consists of 4 options in it. The header for the first item is 'order'. I am using xamMenuItem.icon to add an image on the right side of the header text. But it is always coming on the left side of the header text. How can I do that? Please help.
My xaml code id like this:
<ig:XamMenu x:Name="xamOrderMenu" Height="22" Width="120" ExpandOnHover="True" Canvas.Left="361" Canvas.Top="10">
<ig:XamMenuItem Header="Order" SubmenuPreferredLocation="Bottom" Background="LightGray" FontWeight="Bold" Cursor="Hand">
<ig:XamMenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/Asset.View;component/Images/downarrow.PNG"/>
</ig:XamMenuItem.Icon>
<ig:XamMenuItem Header="Order1" StaysOpenOnClick="True" Background="LightGray" Click="ExportToExcel_Click" Cursor="Hand"/>
<ig:XamMenuItem Header="Order2" Background="LightGray" Click="DownloadFundCountTemplate_Click" Cursor="Hand"/>
<ig:XamMenuItem Header="Order3" Background="LightGray" Click="UploadTemplate_Click" Cursor="Hand"/>
<ig:XamMenuItem Header="Order4" Background="LightGray" Click="SearchAndExportToExcel_Click" Cursor="Hand"/>
</ig:XamMenuItem>
You're going to need to retemplate the XamMenuItem to place the icon in a different spot. In the default template, the XamMenuItem is seperated into 3 columns. The icon is placed into the left-most column, header text in the center and the child indicator in the right-most column.
If you have the Infragistics product installed you have access to the default template. You can find it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\NetAdvantage (release version #)\Silverlight\DefaultStyles\XamMenu
Open the generic.xaml file and do a search for XamMenuItem and the first thing that comes up should be the style for it. The template can be found there. Add this style and its dependencies to your project and then make the necessary adjustments to place the icon on the right side of the header text. You can then assign this style to your XamMenuItems.

I have to create a control which aligns some of its button on the left and some others on the right in one row.
I've immediatly thinked to WPF Toolbar so I've typed:
...
<ToolBarTray DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<ToolBar ToolBarTray.Locked="True" Width="{Binding ElementName=Tray, Path=ActualWidth}">
<DockPanel>
<ToolBarPanel DockPanel.Dock="Left">
<Button ...>
</ToolBarPanel>
<ToolBarPanel DockPanel.Dock="Right">
<Button ...>
</ToolBarPanel>
</DockPanel>
</ToolBar>
</ToolBarTray>
...
but this didn't work: the buttons with dockpanel.dock = right are just attached on the right of the first ToolBarPanel and, if I've understood something about xaml, this is absolutely correct, that's why I tried forcing the width of the toolbar.
If I use a Grid with a spacing column, the right ToolBarPanel moves correctly to the right, but my control needs to be resized and I guess there's no easy way to assign the correct width to the column.
Is there some easier way to achive my task?
I want one datetime field's background colour to depend on its value. Like if a certain date is passed, the background changes to red.
Is there a way to make this in XAML?
I know there is no possibility of an "if" condition/instruction, but maybe you guys found some way to implement a similar function.
<Canvas Canvas.Left="893" Canvas.Top="208" Height="25" Width="99" Background="red" Panel.ZIndex="-1"/>
<assembly:FieldControl Canvas.Left="890" Canvas.Top="206" FieldControlType="DateControl" FormField="{x:Null}" Height="25" LabelColumnWidth="0" Refnr="123456789" ShowCaption="False" StateImageAlignment="Hidden" Width="106" FontSize="10" Foreground="DimGray"/>
this is my code so far. The Canvas-Part makes the Background go red.
I also tried to put the background property in the "FieldControl" but there it's useless.
EDIT:
After getting the information, that Data Binding could help me with this problem, i tested it like this:
<TextBox Canvas.Left="890" Canvas.Top="226" Name="Date" Width="99" Height="25" VerticalAlignment="Top" Text="{Binding ElementName=Date, Path = SelectedItem.Content, Mode = TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger = PropertyChanged}" Background="{Binding ElementName=Date, Path=SelectedItem.Content}">
But this is not the direction, i need. Do you have maybe any suggestion, how I can use Data binding to solve my problem?
Yes, it is possible. The concept you need to learn is XAML Data Binding.
You can implement the IValueConverter for this.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/data-binding/converters
You can check the value on binding and return the background color.
how to give different text color for each item of listview in xamarin forms
I would like to set the PrimaryButtonText, SecondaryButtonText and Title attributes of a ContentDialog with strings from my .resw file. Unfortunately Ι can do this only for one attribute using x:Uid, since setting x:Uid two times inside ContentDialog can not be accepted. I even tried to do something like that:
<ContentDialog>
<ContentDialog.PrimaryButtonText x:Uid="DialogConfirm" />
<ContentDialog.SecondaryButtonText x:Uid="DialogCancel" />
</ContentDialog>
But I got an exception
XBF generation error code 0x09c8
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Set x:Uid only for ContentDialog then in resources file set apropriate properties (take a look at MSDN):
<ContentDialog x:Uid="myDialog">
<!--your dialog-->
</ContentDialog>
In Resources.resw set:
myDialog.PrimaryButtonText -> text for primary button
myDialog.SecondaryButtonText -> text for secondary button
As for more guidelines and help, see MSDN.
If i have 9 TextBlock declared on the XAML file like this:
<TextBlock Name="cellText_00" Tag="0"/>
<TextBlock Name="cellText_01" Tag="1"/>
<TextBlock Name="cellText_02" Tag="2"/>
<TextBlock Name="cellText_20" Tag="3"/>
...
<TextBlock Name="cellText_22" Tag="8"/>
There is a way to interact with it from the .cs getting exactly the desired tag element?
For instance is it possible to give all the same name and get it in this way:
TextBlock tb = get(cellText,0);
where the first field is the name and the second one is the tag?
No, you can't use the same name for many controls.
However there is a workaround: using the FindName method:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.findname(v=vs.95).aspx
There Why can't I access a TextBox by Name with FindName()?
you can find an example and a solution related to namespaces issues.
FindName uses a string to retrieve the control. So you can do something like this: FindName("cellText_" + identifier); and take the element you need.
#Sandrouos, I don't think he's using the same name.

Can someone provide me with an AvalonDock XAML code piece that when run opens the app with a floating window instead of being always docked inside the dock pane? I've seen programmatic ways to do it, but I thought there must be a way to specify it in XAML. Thanks...
I know this is a bit late, but hopefully it will help someone with the same issue in the future...
To create a floating document, add a LayoutDocumentFloatingWindow as a child of LayoutDocumentFloatingWindow, and then add your LayoutDocument as a child of the LayoutDocumentFloatingWindow, as below:
<xcad:DockingManager>
<xcad:LayoutRoot>
<xcad:LayoutRoot.FloatingWindows>
<xcad:LayoutDocumentFloatingWindow>
<xcad:LayoutDocument Title="My Document">
<!--Add document content here-->
</xcad:LayoutDocument>
</xcad:LayoutDocumentFloatingWindow>
</xcad:LayoutRoot.FloatingWindows>
</xcad:LayoutRoot>
</xcad:DockingManager>
Similarly you can add anchorables like so:
<xcad:DockingManager>
<xcad:LayoutRoot>
<xcad:LayoutRoot.FloatingWindows>
<xcad:LayoutAnchorableFloatingWindow>
<xcad:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>
<xcad:LayoutAnchorablePane>
<xcad:LayoutAnchorable Title="My anchorable">
<!--Add anchorable content here-->
</xcad:LayoutAnchorable>
</xcad:LayoutAnchorablePane>
</xcad:LayoutAnchorablePaneGroup>
</xcad:LayoutAnchorableFloatingWindow>
</xcad:LayoutRoot.FloatingWindows>
</xcad:LayoutRoot>
Note that unlike LayoutDocuments, for anchorables you need to add a group pane rather than just a single LayoutAnchorable, because floating anchorables are designed to be able to be grouped in a single window but LayoutDocuments are not.
As a more general guide, an example of how to set up varioius layout elements in a DockingManager can be found here: https://xceed.com/wp-content/documentation/xceed-toolkit-plus-for-wpf/AvalonDock.html
