Hi!

I am a 16 year old student from Turkey. I was searching for tutorials and other educational stuff on the net and found your wonderful software.But I have some Questions to ask I would be very glad if you can answer them as soon as possible...

1-How can I add a hole new page here in to your software I am trying this for days...

2-How can we export such an Itemscontrol without losing the resource files

thanx..

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Sun, 20 May 2007 12:11:37 GMT

Thank you Mete,

Using markup, you can add any control inside the Book definition: <Book> <AnyControl/> </Book>.

Could you be more accurate for question 2 ? In my sample, the Book control is already contained in a separated dll so you can just reference it from VS or Blend.

Mitsu. You can answer me by email if you want.

Animate Flip with button — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 17:52:29 GMT

re: WPF Book control

Brian — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:44:37 GMT

Page flip doesn't work when bound to an ObservableCollection of objects that contains an InkCanvas. The Ink from 1 even page carries through to all even pages. Same with odd pages.

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 21:32:23 GMT

Hi Brian,

I am affraid the InkCanvas does not support rotation. I have the same pb with the Frame control if you want to display html content.

For the automatic animation when clicking the Next/Previous buttons, I thought about it. It not very hard but if I make a direct animation between the two opposite corners it's not very nice because no rotation. It would be nice to have an more complex path make the animation more realistic. I will try to do that when having some time.

Can it load swf files in the page ?

Aleks

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 01:54:30 GMT

No you can't,

The page content must be a full WPF content supporting rotation and clipping. If any control includes a win32 surface (IE, swf), it will appear in the page but won't turn during the animation.

logan — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 00:59:17 GMT

Hi,

I tried this out but I don't see any animation when I click on the next page button.

I'm on WinXP Media center with .NET 3.0, WPF extensions for VS 2005, and Blend installed.

Can you please help?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Hitesh

re: WPF Book control

logan — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 11:20:30 GMT

Hello Mitsu,

It's a great piece of control! Thanks for creating it!! I didn't know that I had to click on bottom of the page and then move it for the page to be flipped, I apologize for my last post.

Now I have the same question as Brian, can you implement an animation for the Next button? So that the animation happens automatically? And why not add a page delete effect, where the page can be removed from the book.

Kindly give some pointers on it as I'm fairly new to WPF.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Hitesh

How hard would it be to make this into a Silverlight 2 control?

re: WPF Book control

Obaid — Thu, 08 May 2008 22:33:20 GMT

Your control is great. I'm using it to develop a print preview app.

Right now I'm stumbling into a problem i.e. here we have requirement that different pages could be of different colors. To acheive this I have created a custom control which displays a single page as a transperant bitmap image inside a border. I'm adding this control as Book item. Since I want different colors for the borders background, I defined PrintContext class which presently contains a single color property. I asssign this to DataContext property of Book's parent that is a use control. I change this context's color property thru a Combobox selection change event. Now I a wrote code in code-behind to bind my custom control's border's background property to the above datacontext defined in its ancestor.

AcrobatPage page = new AcrobatPage()

Binding binding = new Binding("UniversalBackground");

binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay;

page.SetBinding(BackgroundProperty, binding);

but it is not working. Could u please guide me in this.

Thanks

-Obaid

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Fri, 09 May 2008 02:21:56 GMT

Hi Obaid,

I assume that the source of the binding object is a PrintContext object. Is your BackgroundProperty a dependency property ?

Do you have an exception or nothing appears ?

Is the first time binding working ?

Mitsu,

Excellent control. I'm using it in a Silverlight application that allows users to create a photo album with text and pictures that the user can freely place move, rotate and size (I can provide a link when it's ready). I do have one question. How do I reference the Canvas control of the pages being displayed (both of them)? I need to save the changes that the user makes at some point like when the pageturn event occurs. Currently I allow them to make changes in a static Canvas and then display them in the book control to view the album. It would be great if they could stay in the "book" mode all of the time.

Thanks

Tom

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 00:47:58 GMT

Hi Tom,

If your canvas belongs to the databound collection (a collection of visuals) then you can retrieve inside the collection using the page index.

If your canvas is defined in a resource or template, you must use the VisualTreeHelper to retrieve it in the control tree. No other way.

Hi Mitsu,

Is there a way to implement the same fuctionality (Having pages as UseControls) on SLBookDemoApp? Basically a SLBookDemoApp with the functionality of BookDemoApp.

I am trying to use your presentation application as a Canvas and instatiate other Silverlight Pages on the Web. My issue is:

- The BookDemo Solution does not allow me to instantiate Silverlight Controls on the Pages(Blacklight for Example).

- The SLBookDemo Solution is not designed to support User Controls.

I am new to Silverlight, any directions would be appreciated !

Awesome work by the way !

1- add a reference to the library containing the control.

2- In your xaml file, now add an xml namespace prefix targeting this library (like in the demo app).

3- now you can add the BookControl using the prefix.

Hi Mitsu..

Great control you have there..

I wonder if it can support RenderTransform?

I am doing a Windows 7 Multitouch Application based on your control.

After implementing, I should be suppose to rotate, translate and enlarge your book control.

However I run into some problem.. Can you help me with it?

The error in the Windows1.Xaml

Cannot set Name attribute value '_rotate' on element 'RotateTransform'. 'RotateTransform' is under the scope of element 'Book', which already had a name registered when it was defined in another scope.

That portion of code of the book control in the Windows1.Xaml is below

<controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400" Margin="25">

<controls:Book.RenderTransform>

</TransformGroup>

re: WPF Book control

mitsu — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 09:56:02 GMT

Hi Cheng,

Did you try to put it in another parent (a border for example) and then play with the border transformations.

If you are implementing multitouch in a generic way (like surface Api), maybe you should better do it in a separated control.

Mitsu, I am on a project and have used your control with SL3 and have Visifire Charts on each page. It works great and you have to be praised- I do have a need that I do not see exposed. I am putting a row of four buttons outside of the book to change chart types (pages) It works, but now the client has asked to see page turning on the clicks. I need to turn one, two, or three pages instead of just left one or right one page. Can this be done at this time? Many thanks, Danny
