@TripleNico If I were you I would consider a different UI here.

I think this is a good task for a toast notification

@TripleNico

@timunie a Toast notification could be a good solution, didn't think about that yet. However i dialog centered in the middle is a nicer solution in this way to get the attention of the user.

Tim

@timunie

Or open a new TopMost Window

You can center this

TripleNico

@TripleNico

I think that would be the way i go :-)

Tim

@TripleNico

Something else, is there a helper class to easily change a scrolbar with of a datagrid?

Tim

@timunie

Not that I know

TripleNico

@TripleNico

Alright, than i have to do it the old fashion way :-)

Is there a way to have a Dropdownbutton have a menu with submenus? I've used them with single level menus but now I need one with two levels. I need a menu that lists two items, and clicking/hovering each item will open a submenu with preferably check menu items. Is this possible?

Tim

@timunie

@SheriSteeves seems to work on my side

<mah:DropDownButton Margin="5"
                    Content="Test"
                    DisplayMemberPath="Name">
    <mah:DropDownButton.Icon>
        <iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Margin="6" Kind="TestTube" />
    </mah:DropDownButton.Icon>
    <mah:DropDownButton.Items>
        <MenuItem Header="Test">
            <MenuItem Header="SubMenu" />
        </MenuItem>
    </mah:DropDownButton.Items>
</mah:DropDownButton>

@timunie Thanks, I was stupid and didn't mention that I was populating my dropdown button using the ItemsSource property, and not in XAML. Is there a way to do this with a collection?

Tim

@timunie

hmm should be like any other Menues

But I don't have the syntax in mind

It's quite easy if the first level can be "hard coded" and the second level is an itemssource

SheriSteeves

@SheriSteeves

@timunie Thanks for the tip; I'll keep working at it.

hallo, i have resolution problem in my app. Somehow on my developer pc it looks ok, but from another computer, if resolution of monitor not like in my app, wpf window resize all controls and windows itself. Can someone pls send me link or maybe had same issue like me.

Tim

@timunie

@Torchok19081986 How should we even guess without any code?

Sounds like a layout issue on your side, so try to use flexible layout like stackpanel or grid over positioning the controls directly. Designing WPF with mouse also often does not work well

Torchok19081986

@Torchok19081986

ok.

is definition my mainwindow

Tim

@timunie

SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight" makes no sense here

Torchok19081986

@Torchok19081986

on remote desktop connection with over 1600x1200 looks normally, and with fullscreen mode, but if another computer starts app on RDP , window resizing app with allcontrols

Tim

@timunie

1000 sounds also huge

and then there is this

Torchok19081986

@Torchok19081986

systemparameters.primaryscreen works only on primaryscren, dont know how to set width and height depend on screen resolution

Tim

@timunie

having a flexible layout is better

hello, is there a way to keep a childwindow always on top of another child window?

when I click on another childwindow that one comes to the top and the other one goes behind

@punker76

@sebamatusr No, this is not implemented, but should be easy to do.

Hi, I'm in the process of replacing the Xceed Extended WPF Toolkit with MahApps.
I'm struggling with the replacement of SplitButton.</br>
Currently I have a xctk:SplitButton and the DropDownContent is just another Button.</br>
How can I achieve this with MahApps?

<xctk:SplitButton Command="{Binding ACommand}">    
    <xctk:SplitButton.Content>
        <Grid Width="24"
              Height="24">
            <Path Data="M10.237976,16.558633L15.362"
                  Stretch="Uniform"
                  Width="16"
                  Height="16"
                  Margin="0,0,0,0"
                  RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
                <Path.RenderTransform>
                    <TransformGroup>
                        <TransformGroup.Children>
                            <RotateTransform Angle="0" />
                            <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1"
                                            ScaleY="1" />
                        </TransformGroup.Children>
                    </TransformGroup>
                </Path.RenderTransform>
            </Path>
        </Grid>
    </xctk:SplitButton.Content>
    <xctk:SplitButton.DropDownContent>
        <Button Command="{Binding AnotherCommand}" />
    </xctk:SplitButton.DropDownContent>
</xctk:SplitButton>

@FroggieFrog get yourself the demo app available on GitHub. It shows a lot and you can play around with it.

FroggieFrog

@FroggieFrog

That was the first thing I tried. The only solution I came up with was to create a List of available commands in my ViewModel and use a DataTemplate for the ItemSource.
But I hope there is a simpler for adding just one button.

Tim

@timunie

Just use Items instead of ItemsSource.

Sebastian Matus

@sebamatusr

@sebamatusr No, this is not implemented, but should be easy to do.

How would I go about doing this? I've tried Focus, BringIntoView, also tried Z-Index but it doesn't work on elements that are not Panels

Jan Karger ツ ☀

@punker76

@sebamatusr The problem is here that the SimpleChildWindow handles the mouse down event and do the logic there. So to solve this it’s necessary to implement a new property to force the top most.

@FroggieFrog

Hi! I managed to use the SplitButton with Items.

I also tried to use my own ColorHelper for a ColorPicker.
What I can not figure out is this line <mah:ColorPicker ColorHelper="[[Bind here to your ColorHelper]]" />.
How can I use my own ColorHelper (called e.g. NoTranslationColorHelper) which is excatly like in the docs (also has DefaultInstance)?

FroggieFrog

@FroggieFrog

I think this is a correct usage:
ColorHelper="{Binding Source={x:Static mynamespace:NoTranslationColorHelper.DefaultInstance}}"
Am I right?

Tim

@timunie

What do you mean by no translation?

No color name at all or the english names?

FroggieFrog

@FroggieFrog

I like to see the default (english) name provided by the framework.

FroggieFrog

@FroggieFrog

I opened an issue and added an example I came up with:
MahApps/MahApps.Metro#4131
