All I am trying to do is get my dumb button I created in Blend 4 work on a _Click event. I have the C# equivalent code, but I can't get it converted correctly...Here are both codes...I am using VS2010 just in case you want to know..
C# Code
namespace TestButton1
{
public partial class MainWindow:Window
[Code].....
As soon as I can get this very first initialization down, I know I can get the rest of the events written fine.
I'm working on a tutorial to build a media player in Silverlight and am trying to wire up an EventHandler to the timer.Tick event of a DispatchTimer object so that the time of the video is synced with a Slider object.
The sample code is in C# and I can't for the life of me figure out the proper syntax in VB.NET with RaiseEvent and/or Handles to wire up the event. Below is the relevant C# code. I'll include comments on where I'm getting stuck.

Does anyone know any good places to learn how to use WPF and Expression blend ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to blend a few textures together to "bake" the final texture. Since I need the actual resulting bitmap, I don't think I can/want to do this using DirectX or OpenGL. I have:
- 4 Textures (RGB, 2048x2048): t0, t1, t2, t3
- 3 Alphamaps (ARGB, the RGB value is irrelevant, 64x64): a1, a2, a3
Here's what I currently do for each pixel (in simplified notation):
FinalColor = ((t0 * (1 - a1) + t1 * a1) * (1 - a2) + t2 * a2) * (1 - a3) + t3 * a3
This works fine, however, it takes forever, because I have to iterate over a 2048x2048 image pixel by pixel. Is there a more elegant way to solve this (i.e. using graphics.drawimage or something like it, but then, how?) How can I scale to Alphamap up with bilinear/bicubic interpolation (without having to do it pixel by pixel)? I currently use the original resolution, but that leads to rather visible transitions.
I have a listbox that displays Shipment Items (custom class) that are formatted using a datatemplate (see below). There is a border element in the template (I am calling it a Gem) that displays which item is active (not selected) which will be the item to which products will be added.

There is a boolean property in the shipment class (Active) which is set in a click event handler for the Gem element. Normally the Gem is supposed to be dark as in the first image, then lit when active. I have a DataTrigger set up in the DataTemplate to handle the change in the color of the Gem.
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Active}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ActiveGem" Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
[code]....
The Gems do not return to their unlit state (which they never were in the first place). They only remain lit.
i would like to create a custom base class for some of my UserControls. Doing this in VS2008 is fine and compiles as expected, but when i edit the control in Blend 3 the base class in the blabla.g.vb is always changed back to System.Windows.Controls.UserControl.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to do for a website. I've got a header banner that is 900px wide, and I want to display 4 random images across the banner. (I've got about 20 photos at this point, and I want the header to select from them.) I can get the code for the random selection, but what I'm looking for is a way to blend about 10 pixels near the overlap. If I have each picture exactly 225px wide, I get a "hard" line between the images. I'd like to make the images a little bit wider and soften the edge by overlapping and blending the images together. I have figured out how to get the image back to the web browser, but I don't even know where to start on trying to figure out the blending. Graphics really aren't my thing.
View 2 RepliesPreviously I used to piddle around with VB6 to develop a couple of personal projects. Following my upgrade to Windows 7, I've decided to piddle about with vb.net Express Edition 2010.If I wanted my VB6 application to blend in with the visual style of Windows, I would use the code and techniques described here. In short, I would use a Manifest file and a couple of calls within the application and most of the elements would look similar to the XP theme applied. If it was run on 2000, 95 or 98 then it would look like a standard Windows app. All was good.
Now I've moved onto vb.net, I've written a simple "Hello, world" application but I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look like the Windows 7 theme (eg. the font matches the system font and the widgets are styled correctly).Just changing the font is a hack and will look out of place on machines that are set-up differently or run a different version of Windows where the default font is different.How do I ensure my application matches the applied Windows theme irrespective of the version of Windows?
I have a project, in which a user can click a button- even if he's using different program- that button in the program will simulate a keyboard shortcut and and use it in that current program he's using.

I want to do is blend two images together with a varying amount of transparency using a scroll bar/trackbar. In software I can do it by drawing an image into a picture box and blending another image on top with a varying amount of transparency but it is using gdi which of course is very slow. I would have thought that it should be very easy with fairly basic modern graphics cards but I am so bogged down with examples of how to draw fancy rotating rectangles etc with direct x that I can't see through it all. Should I look at directdraw, direct3d, opengl?

View 1 RepliesI need to submit a project tomorrow, and the topic is WPF using XAML. We are using VB by the way. Now I am still a beginner at programming, so I needed help. I've got a ton of WPF and blend tutorials open in tabs in my browser, but I have no idea where to start, and no idea for a project. I asked my tutor and he said he'll be checking our understanding of XAML, and creating an object using XAML as well as the other way round.
I stumbled onto some tutorials of media players main in WPF, and I decided to go with it. But because I have never used blend or WPF along with XAML before, I don't know what to do, if say I make a button in blend with effects, so that I may add coding behind it in VB. Please help me out. I've got like 15 hours before I have to submit.
I'm in the middle of using Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2010) to create dynamically created controls. Essentially what I'm doing is creating a label, a textbox, a label (which will act as a stopwatch), and a button (to control said stopwatch). Each set of controls will be arranged (and named) like this in a row: [Code] I've gotten the bit about creating the elements dynamically as well as creating them within in a panel with a particular number attached to the end of its name on the form that I've created. What I would like to do is wire an event for the button that was dynamically created to control the stopwatch timer that was created through the same event. So in short, I'm asking how do you wire an event to control a particularly dynamic button?
View 1 RepliesIncludes alpha blending, pathfinding, grid rendering, and lots of other algorithms that make basic game programing in VB 2010 a lot simpler. Copy the code in the attached text document into a blank class. Then add it to your project. Initialize as you would any other class...
"Dim aGameGridOrWhatever as New DynamicBitmap"Let me know if anyone finds any bugs in the PathFinding algorithm. I finished it tonight. I'll post some examples of how to do stuff to this thread soon.
