Well, I don't know if this is the better place, but here are new tips:

To add the following events on the markup elements:

-MouseClick event
-MouseDoubleClick event

Because we are having to handle this by ourselves, and this is not cool.

Hi all!

Oleg answered a support ticket of mine on 27-Jul-2009, saying that they "have now more priority work, but will return to new Markup features as soon as it will be possible."

It appears obvious to me that with a strong XAML implementation we can continue using VB6 for a lot of years. And we don't need too much new things. With these features requested in this topic, and a bit of others spreaded in another topics, we are done.

It will be lacking only some features of WPF (the 3D rendering functions and the effects), but that in the other hand make it slow.

Hey Aaron, sorry for the delay in getting back to you about this, but thanks for the support. I've had an open ticket for a while now without any feedback from CJ, so it doesn't look like they are much interested in expanding on the markup control. Personally, I think its a shame and a missed opportunity, but there's not much else I can do to promote markup and try and get CJ to see the potential. Maybe if others start to demand some improvements it will help motivate CJ, but perhaps nobody else is interested in markup the way we are and that is why CJ isn't devoting many resources to it?

Hi Jason and Bernardino
 
It looks like you are the only one here... It's outrageous that no one of CJ support team hasn't replied on your post. Not a single reply??? It has been a long time since Markup has been upgraded to a higher level. You would expect that the headman of Markup would reply... but no...
 
Thanks for having you to keep Markup alive

A way to set and change the Background of the elements to a LinearGradientBrush at run-time would be great.

Implementing the item 19 could to be a way to do it, and would be sufficient by now. Example:

Border.Properties("Background") = "<LinearGradientBrush ... >"

It is important to be able to apply them to the styles too, when creating the styles at tun-time.

Item 26: The ScrollViewer ScrollBar is being shown with a line in its left side, like the following picture:

Item 24: A way to get the ScrollBar Width of the Vertical ScrollViewer, as well as the ScrollBar Height of the Horizontal one. Or only one property for bot purposes: ScrollBarThickness

Item 25: (related to the markup and not to the MarkupLabel) An option to show the ScrollViewer ScrollBar only when needed, and hide it when there is no sufficient content to scroll.

I think that the item 19 is a great feature. I will describe its use:

Suppose we have an usercontrol and we want that it has a different look while it has the focus. The application may to set these looks (for NoFocus and Focus states) only once and the usercontrol may to update its look when it receives or loses the focus.

The app could to do this:

   UserControl.BorderFocusProperties("Background") = "xxx"
   UserControl.BorderFocusProperties("BorderBrush") = "xxx"

   UserControl.BorderNoFocusProperties("Background") = "yyy"
   UserControl.BorderNoFocusProperties("BorderBrush") = "yyy"

And the usercontrol can use this info and change the look like this:

   If HasFocus Then
     For i = 1 To UBound(FocusProps)
       Border1.Properties(FocusProps(i).Name) = FocusProps(i).Value
     Next
   Else
     For i = 1 To UBound(NoFocusProps)
       Border1.Properties(NoFocusProps(i).Name) = NoFocusProps(i).Value
     Next
   End If


Or the MarkupLabel could to have a PropertyBag and use it like this:

   If HasFocus Then
     Set Border1.PropertyBag = FocusProps
   Else
     Set Border1.PropertyBag = NoFocusProps
   End If


Or better: we could to create and set the styles and change them at run-time.

The usercontrol can to create the style and change its properties (received from the app), like this:

Private BStyleWithFocus As MarkupStyle

Property Let BorderFocusProperties(Name As String, Value As String)

   Set BStyleWithFocus = MarkupLabel1...Styles.FindName("BorderWithFocus")
   If BStyleWithFocus = Nothing Then
     Set BStyleWithFocus = MarkupLabel1...CreateObject("MarkupStyle")
     BStyleWithFocus.xKey = "BorderWithFocus"   'xKey Or Name
     BStyleWithFocus.TargetType = "Border"
     MarkupLabel1.Styles.Add BStyleWithFocus
   End If

   BStyleWithFocus.Property(Name) = Value

End Property

Then the usercontrol can change the element style like this:

   If HasFocus Then
     Border1.Style = "{StaticResource BorderWithFocus}"
   Else
     Border1.Style = "{StaticResource BorderNoFocus}"
   End If


Another idea (that can be the item 23): When using XAML we can set the properties of the child elements in the parent one, e.g.

<StackPanel TextBlock.FontFamily="Tahoma" TextBlock.FontSize="14" TextBlock.FontWeight="Bold">

It would to be good to have this at run-time too, something like this:

   StackPanel1.Properties("TextBlock.Foreground") = "Green"
   StackPanel1.Properties("TextBlock.HorizontalAlignment") = "Center"
   StackPanel1.Properties("TextBlock.FontSize") = "14"

I don't know if this can be done using styles.


Another item (19 C) (If the codejock team does not have enough time, this is not so important as the previous):

Suppose that we want the usercontrol to have some element on a different row and column from a grid when it has the focus:

   UserControl.BorderFocusProperties("Grid.Row") = "xxx"
   UserControl.BorderFocusProperties("Grid.Column") = "xxx"

   UserControl.BorderNoFocusProperties("Grid.Row") = "yyy"
   UserControl.BorderNoFocusProperties("Grid.Column") = "yyy"

Well, I think that this one cannot be done with styles.


Without the features above (in the case that the app wants the usercontrol to have a different look at different states) we can use only the object model and then the app may use a lot of code to change the usercontrol look at the usercontrol events, signaling state change.

By now I have no more additions, but I am still working in the XamlGrid control and some new ideas can arise.

I have another MarkupLabel based control that I am developing and I will release it later :)

I still did not have time to see your chart code. I will do it later. It appears to be a great control. The look is great. Congratulations!

But you can send it, with a link to this topic. So we can continue adding new ideas.
