Hi,

I'm trying to use the DragDockPanelHost in WPF. I've copied the neccesary files to my WPF project (until there where no more compile error).

<Window x:Class="Dashboard.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:blacklight="clr-namespace:Blacklight.Controls"
        xmlns:dashboard="clr-namespace:Dashboard"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="800" Background="#f4f4f4">
   
    
    <Grid>
        <blacklight:DragDockPanelHost MaxColumns="2" MaxRows="2">
            <blacklight:DragDockPanel>
                <Border BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1">
                    <TextBlock Text="Test" FontSize="20" />
                </Border>
            </blacklight:DragDockPanel>
        </blacklight:DragDockPanelHost>
    </Grid>
</Window>



I would expect that the above code would at least show something, but it doesn't. Any ideas?

Hello Robbert,

Looks like WPF support was dropped from the project a while back.

I’m looking into adding it back.

Can see that it doesn’t call

protected override void PrepareContainerForItemOverride(DependencyObject element, object item)

which adds the items to the collection of panels.

I’ll have a deeper look,

Regards,

Jasim Schluter

Could you please tell me if I can use the control in WPF? I saw the demo in Silverlight and in my tests all I get is "empty" DragDock hosts. I really want an answer. Paid answers if you need!

Not sure if this is a solution but maybe it will help:

it seems that a Template needs to be added to the DragDockPanelHost Style (I added one with an empty ControlTemplate) and now PrepareContainerForItemOverride gets called.

Correction:

The ControlTemplate should contain an ItemsPresenter. So with the new property the Style would look like this:

    <Style TargetType="local:DragDockPanelHost">
        <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <Canvas />
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:DragDockPanelHost">
                    <ItemsPresenter/>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

Now the sample UserControl (DragDockPanelSample) does show the panels in an WPF application. Unfortunately, drag & drop does not seem to work flawless...

Hi Jeroen, thank you so much for the fix. Have you been able to find a fix for the new flaws? I saw when dragging a panel for the first time everything seems great but when you want to drag another pannel after that, then it doens't seem to drag the panel anymore...

Try the latest,

The Storyboards are breaking the dragging.

I have commented them out for now.

Thanks Blender,

Working great! If I have time i'll check if I can get the animations going again, but for now this is great.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Blender - thank you for these controls, they are excellent. I may have fixed the animation in WPF DragDropPanelHost:

Insert in AnimatedHeaderedContentControl.cs at line 144:

positionXAnimation.FillBehavior = FillBehavior.Stop;
positionYAnimation.FillBehavior = FillBehavior.Stop;
widthAnimation.FillBehavior = FillBehavior.Stop;
heightAnimation.FillBehavior = FillBehavior.Stop;

Curious to know if this fixes for you also, please let me know!

Hi,

I can confirm that these changes work for me.

Thanks!

Hi,

Just to bring another confirmation backup...,
I've already used Blacklight in several Silverlight applications, though encountered same issues with WPF...

I have downloaded the updated 8185 version and added the suggested WPF code section modifications
[Insert in AnimatedHeaderedContentControl.cs at line 144:...]

I can confirm that these changes also worked pretty well for me in WPF. Much appreciated ;)

Thank's
