I am implementing drag and drop for a UWP application and all is working well, except for the Font on the DragUI caption.
I have DragUIOverride.IsCaptionVisible = True and DragUIOverride.Caption = "My Text String",
but does anyone know how to change the font? My application uses a unique font and the system font stick out like a sore thumb.
(On a similar vein, I had the same issue with ToolTips, but figured out how to set a new style for ToolTip in <Application.Resources>, but I cant seem to find anything (i.e. a TargetType) for the DragUI text.)
Any help appreciated.
Can the Font for a UWP Drag and Drop (DragUI) caption be changed?
I'm afraid, you can't change the font style for DragUIOverride.Caption, currently, there is not such api to change Caption font, it was manage by the system. And you could post your requirement with windows feed back hub.
And we have a workaround that use SetContentFromBitmapImage method insert text image to replace DragUIOverride.Caption. For more please refer XamlDragAndDrop code sample
I am making some add-in to PowerPoint.
I would like to let user choose color using colordialog (or some other this kind control). But it would be the best if it would look exactly like built-in color dialog/color picker in PowerPoint, and with the same colors in sections Theme Colors, Custom Colors and Standard Colors. Is it achievable? If yes, how can I achieve it?
It really depends on what you need to use the color for. Office has many pre-defined controls that can be easily incorporated into an addin, some of which use the standard Office color picker (which includes the theme colors, custom colors, etc. that you are looking for). You can download a list of all Office controls from the Microsoft website (you will only need to use the PowerPointControls.xlsx file). Any of the controls listed in the file can be added to your addin by specifying the idMso in the ribbon XML (assuming you are creating a ribbon). You will need to look through all of the controls to se if there is one that matches the functionality you are looking for.
Note that most of the controls have some sort of additional functionality attached to them in addition to selecting a color. I have not yet found one that selects and returns a color. Hopefully what ever functionality you are in need of is included in one of the controls. You may be able to get a better answer if you provide more information on your specific application.
I am building a website that will make heavy use of the content editor webparts to allow for content to be added. The drawback to this is that by default the content editor provides a "Rich Text Editor" which is good for adding data but bad because it has the potential to break styling. I have two solutions :
First is to do some coding to somehow have predefined css styles added to the styles menu of the Rich text editor.
Second which should be quicker is to simply disable the Rich text editor i.e disabling the fonts, styles, etc from the Rich Text editor so that users can only enter data and not mess around with the styling.
For soultion two, is this possble and what would be the quickest way to achieve this?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
The whole point of the rich text editor is to allow the user to enter styled content as they see fit. If you don't want any styling to be applied through the RTE either create style rules in your CSS to overrride anything the user enters or else use content fields based on multiple lines of text rather than rich text.

I want to get the height necessary to display the full text in my RichTextBox (when the text extends beyond the set height of the control).
Reminder: Silverlight has no handy TextRenderer.MeasureText like WPF does, nor any other apparent way to measure text.
Doesn't seem like there's any way to do this. I've seen mention of people measuring text of a single font (not mixed as in my RichTextBox) by creating a TextBlock and getting it's Width. Even this doesn't work - it's perfect for some fonts and inconsistent for others.
My app is occasionally connected, so I can't call the server.
As you say, I don't think there's a good way to do this in Silverlight today. There are some functions available in the Document Toolkit by First Floor Software, however those are geared towards working with XPS documents. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, however in Silverlight 5 the RichTextBox does come with the ability to "overflow" text into multiple other RichTextBoxes when the first one cannot display all of the data. This allows you to more easily create a multi-column text layout.

I'm trying to build a web app to programmatically fill out a PDF form. I am going to configure my form first in Adobe Acrobat, then write a Java app with iText to fill out all the form fields via user input from the web. The base form I need to fill out comes from the US government. They created form fields with extremely large kerning (character spacing) values I need to change. However, there appears to be no way to modify this value in the Acrobat UI.
Does anyone know how to manipulate character spacing on form fields in Acrobat 8.0 for Windows? I could try to use iText to programmatically manipulate the kerning of the original document, but this would be much more tedious.
I believe I figured this out: kerning is called "combing" in acrobat, and each of the form fields have been "combed". The strange thing is this option isn't checked when I view the properties of the form field, but "combing" is the behaviour I was attempting to replicate.
