[Update: WPFBookControl now available on codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/wpfbookcontrol]

After a long time of work on my free time here is finally a first version of the flip page demo (http://blogs.msdn.com/mitsu/archive/2006/11/05/flip-page-demo-using-wpf.aspx).

I have created a WPF control so every one can use it easilly. It's an ItemsControl. You can add any kind of items to the 'Items' collection (using code or markup) or connect a collection to the 'ItemsSource' property.

<controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400">
  <local:UCCube />
  <local:UCControls />
  <local:UCClippingTransparency />
  <local:UCClippingTransparency />
  <local:UCClipping />
  <local:UCClipping />
  <local:UCTriggers />
  <local:UCFixedDocument />
  <local:UCDataBindingTransformation />
  <local:UCXaml />
  <local:UCAbout />
</controls:Book>

Each item will be placed in a new page inside the control. You can also define an ItemTemplate if you want to customize a page border for example.

<controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400">
  <controls:Book.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
      <Border BorderThickness="4" BorderBrush="Gray" Background="Transparent">
        <ContentControl Content="{Binding .}" />
      </Border>
    </DataTemplate>
  </controls:Book.ItemTemplate>
...
</controls:Book>

The source code contains a demo application with a large video file (32Mb). You can find attached to this post 3 zip files:

  • binaries only without the video file
  • binaries + video file
  • source code + binaries + video file (largest one)
  • source code + binaries without video file
