Hello ppl, it's possible to set an orchestra app to go to the systray as it starts?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

Sure. You can grab the main window in the splash screen and tell it to go to the systray. You can even hide both the splash and main window at startup with the latest prerelease version

advapiIT

@advapiIT

is there a doc about this?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

nope

advapiIT

@advapiIT

good. I'll give a try on the return

advapiIT

@advapiIT

excuse me geert, I've downloaded orchestra from github (again) but I got this error messagwe

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB3644 The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.7" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed.

Orchestra.Shell.Ribbon.Fluent C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets 1179

consider I've all the .netframework installed

is there something stupid I'm missing

@advapiIT

got the answer here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47419456/on-premises-build-agent-is-failing-to-build-solution-with-projects-on-net-4-7-1

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

Glad you solved it

advapiIT

@advapiIT

Hello! 2 question about orchestra.... when I close the application I've to invoke a dispose of a service (absolutely, no way, otherwise the process remains zombie), where should I do this? since Orchestra.Shell is inside another assembly

should I've kept the orchestra.shell project inside the solution?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

You can create a watcher that subscribes to Application.Exit event?

I also think we have an ICloseApplicationService, but that could be in our internal libs which are not open source

advapiIT

@advapiIT

Done, thanks!

@advapiIT

Excuse me, how do I inject the ILog in a viewmodel setting that's related to that class I mean

sometime in code I do private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();

is there a way I can Inject the ILog and let the DI to set the currentclass clogger_

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

why would you want to use DI for logging? You can always query LogManger.GetLogger(typeof(x))

advapiIT

@advapiIT

because I tought it would be the right approach

for example SimpleInjector has an adapter to resolve the DI of ILog

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

sure, you could register it as open generic, but that doesn't work with Catel logging

each logging fx is a bit different

advapiIT

@advapiIT

and about destructuring as Serilog does have u managed to do something similar?

advapiIT

@advapiIT

Excuse me Geert, I've written a keep alive service that monitors a WPF application developed with Orchestra.... if the service goes down I have to execute it (I use Process.Start("cmd /C filepath")

If I use a WPF application (a simple default one), it works. with Orchestra after the splash screen it shows for a second the shell, then it closes... can i be related to the splashscreen?

advapiIT

@advapiIT

Errata Corrige : It was my fault... with the resolution of an Icon when calling from a differen app domain.... +1 kudos Geert!

Just started with Orchestra/Mahapps, my shell window shows up much larger than my main view. The shell is about 1400x1000 pixels, with the view about 820x800. How do I get the shell to be smaller so it just fits the view? Do I need to implement my own custom shell?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

You shouldn't set any size on the main view, it should fill up the shell for you. Don't you want the app to be runnable in full screen / maximized?

As you can see here, there is a ShellDimensionsHelper that respects the dimensions from the main view

https://github.com/WildGums/Orchestra/blob/develop/src/Orchestra.Shell.MahApps/Views/ShellWindow.xaml.cs#L81

leads to this code:

https://github.com/WildGums/Orchestra/blob/develop/src/Orchestra.Shell.Shared/Helpers/ShellDimensionsHelper.cs#L7

so you can use Max / Min properties and they will be used by the shell as well

redrabbit007

@redrabbit007

Is there a way to set the default size of the shell/main window? I see how the min/max width/height get set from the MainView. Is there a way to set the defaults?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

if you have your own shell service, you can simply override InitializeBeforeShowingShellAsync and customize anything you need

redrabbit007

@redrabbit007

Do you mean override InitializeBeforeShowingShellAsync in my ApplicationInitializationService?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

correct

venom_aa

@venomAA

wasnt there an example project for orchestra? I cant find it in the main site or the github site

venom_aa

@venomAA

nvm...found it

advapiIT

@advapiIT

Hello! Is there a way I can easily show in the splash screen the application's icon?

Geert van Horrik

@GeertvanHorrik

Yes, there should be. It's actually not the icon, but CompanyLogoForSplashScreenUri should do the trick
