This might not be the right forum, but I need a place to start.
Can I get some support or guidance on using your layout controls with Composite Application Guidance for WPF? Specifically, I want to create a set of views and host each one in a ContentPane within a TabGroupPane. I think I need to define the TabGroupPane as a region, but I'm having some trouble with this and I'm not sure if I'm going in the right direction.
Also posted to their forum.
We currently don't have prism wrappers but maybe another customer has done some work in this area and can help you.
That's cool if you don't have it yet, but I want to use your controls and getting this POC working could mean go or no go for this project as well as using your WPF suite. Which side of this bridge does it make the most sense to work from? Can you put me in touch with someone at IG who can work with me on implementing this, or should I try to get support from the CAB side of things?
If you have a specific question about XamDockManager or its classes then you can certainly post it here. If you have questions about implementing regions, etc. in CAG for WPF (i.e. prism) - then you may get more benefit by posting the questions on their forum as they wrote that framework. If you would like to see wrappers for prism as we did for winforms with CAB, you may want to submit a suggestion that here for adding. You can also write to the productmanager@infragistics.com; its possible they may have more information on working with our controls and that framework or can get you involved if such work is or will be done.
For anyone interested in the CAG side of things, I implement a custom region adapter and region for the TabGroupPane ItemsControl. There's a little involved, post here if you get stuck (if that's OK with moderator).
I don't like that the TabGroupPane is an ItemsControl, but doesn't support ItemsSource. I had to jump through some hoops to handle when the collection changes instead of just letting it do its thing.
I'm not sure if I've solved the problem, but I've been able to move forward.
Hi, MyMindsOwn,
i am currently involved in a project that uses CAL/Prism/CAG and the infragistics WPF Library. In the near future i will have to implement an RegionAdapter for the OutlookBar and the Ribbo. Since you are the only one that i know that has done this (except someone at p&p that did a OutlookBarAdapter, but i don't know if that will properly function with infragistics), i hope you can give me some tips if i run into problems.
I'll also try to send you a message over codeplex...
Sure thing. Another guy on CodePlex had a good implementation and might also be a good source for you. Let me know if you have any trouble.
If you are looking for a Prism region adapter for the XamDockManager you can use this one:
