Handling WindowCommands like Close, Minimize, and Maximize?

chrisaswain — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 16:35:53 GMT

I'm using the UXDesktop control bound to an ItemsSource to generate my UXWindow objects. I need to be able to handle some of the commands fired by the windows such as Close, Minimize and Maximize. I've tried the following, but it doesn't seem to capture the Close command when I click the close button of the UXWindow object.

    public partial class RootView : ViewBase
    {
        public RootView(RootViewModel viewModel)
            : base(viewModel)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            CommandBinding windowCloseCommandBinding = new CommandBinding(WindowCommands.Close, HandleWindowClose);
            // Create the CommandBindingCollection to hold the command binding
            CommandBindingCollection bindingCollection = new CommandBindingCollection();
            bindingCollection.Add(windowCloseCommandBinding);
 
            // Set the binding collection to the layout root
            CommandManager.SetCommandBindings(this, bindingCollection);
        }
 
        private void HandleWindowClose(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
 
        }
    }

How can I capture and handle the commands fired from my UXWindow objects in my UXDesktop?

 
You can run the attached sample project to see that the HandleWindowCommand method is never invoked even though I'm doing the CommandBinding to the WindowCommands.Close and Minimize commands.

UXDesktop, UXWindow - minimize without associated UXDesktopDock

chrisaswain — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:09:25 GMT

I am using the UXDesktop to display UXWindow objects from a collection bound to the ItemsSource property. I have a UXDesktopDock that I am doing custom management of window instances as sub-items of the task bar (UXStackItems) instead of showing them directly on the task bar. As a result I don't want to associate my UXDesktopDock taskbar to my UXDesktop. However, the minimize and maximize only seem to work when there is an associated taskbar. How can I get around this?

UXWindow GetThumbnail method not working???

chrisaswain — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:39:54 GMT

I'm trying to use the GetThumbnail(bool forceRefresh) method of the UXWindow object to get a thumbnail view of my window objects. But, for some reason is is returning a 0 pixel image. What's the trick to make it return a good thumbnail imagesource?

I've tried the UpdateVisualThumbnail() method. I've even cast the UXWindow to an IWindow and used the Thumbnail property, but nothing works.

Note: I'm trying to get the thumbnail in a custom converter. See the code below:

    public class UXWindowContainerToImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (value is UIElement)
            {
                UXWindow window = GetWindowContainer(value as DependencyObject);
                
                window.UpdateVisualThumbnail();
                
                ImageSource bitmap = window.GetThumbnail(false);
                window.UpdateLayout();
                
                //WriteableBitmap bitmap = new WriteableBitmap(window, null);
                //bitmap.Invalidate();
 
                return bitmap;
            }
            return value;
        }
 
        private UXWindow GetWindowContainer(DependencyObject element)
        {
            DependencyObject parent = element;
            while (parent != null && !(parent.GetType().IsSubclassOf(typeof(UXWindow)) || parent is UXWindow))
            {
                parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);
            }
 
            return parent as UXWindow;
        }
 
        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

UXWIndow Template

prpmlp — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:48:23 GMT

I am creating a new template based on the UXWindow. However I have hit problems when I try to trying to change the Close, Minimise etc buttons. I have found the class responsible for this (called WindowButtons) but there seems to be no way for me to change the icons. I can it seems change the ToolTip text but that is all.

Kind Regards

Open and Close Windows via code

prpmlp — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 09:29:06 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to Close a window via code. In the code behine of the UXPage I have the following code:

var window =(UXWindow) this.GetWindowHost();
window.Hide();

This however throws an exception

((System.Exception)(ex.InnerException)).StackTrace

   at Intersoft.Client.UI.Aqua.UXDock.UXDock.GetContainerFromIndex(Int32 index)

   at Intersoft.Client.UI.Aqua.UXDock.UXDesktopDock.FindButton(Object targetContext, SearchFlags searchButtonFlags)

   at Intersoft.Client.UI.Aqua.UXDock.UXDesktopDock.(Object sender, WindowEventArgs e)

I have tried using window.Close(); but still throws the exception. If I put a catch around this it. The error is not thrown and the window closes.

The 2nd problem is trying to programatically open a window without clicking of the navigation docking component.

Please could you also update when help file will be available

Kind Regards

Threading for UXWindow

virgil_o — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:51:31 GMT

Will there be a facilitated way to run each UXWindow in it's own thread, or we'll have to implement our custom method to do that?
