I recently purchased 2012.2 verision of the controls. Coming from 2009. The new or updated control I'm intersted in is XamComboEditor. I would like to use it for it's new checkboxs and multiselectablity. I changed namespace to http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml/wpf, but it seems to still use old control in Windows.Editor namespace. I get CheckboxVisiblity property does not exist in http://schemas.infragistics.com/xaml/wpf namespace. I referenced the InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Editors.XamComboEditor.v12.2.dll.
Any ideas?
Hello Boricua,
Thank you for posting.
Infragistics has two controls named XamComboEditor one is shared (could be used in both in Silverlight and WPF) and the other one is used only in WPF. The shared XamComboEditor could be used after adding the InfragisticsWPF4.Controls.Editors.XamComboEditor.v12.2 and the editor only for WPF could be used after adding InfragisticsWPF4.Editors.v12.2. Here you could find more information about the shared editor which allows multi selection and using checkboxes. I have attached a sample project where I have used the shared XamComboEditor and its CheckboxVisibility and AllowMultiSelection properties to display some values. I hope this will help you.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions.
Well I think the issue is that I also have InfragisticsWPF4.Editors.v12.2.dll reference since I am using xamDataGrid. Also in the help under General Concepts->Assemblies->NetAdvantage Assemblies that dll is listed as deprecated but it is listed as a dependent of InfragisticsWPF4.DataPresenter.v12.2.dll. Which is not deprecated.
In your previous post you said "The WPF theme could be used to style the shared controls", and in your example you just use the Shared Control themes (IG, Metro, Office2010Blue). Can you apply WPF control theme to the shared controls like Onyx, Office2k7Black, Aero, etc?
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. The themes that could be applied on both WPF and Silverlight are the three that are in my previous example. Themes like Onyx, Office2k7Black, Aero, etc. are internally applied to the WPF controls and even if they are added as resource dictionaries, they will not take any effect on the shared controls.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions on the matter.
Any plans to make those WPF Styles available for the shared controls?
There is styling diferences between Shared and WPF controls. For example Office2010Blue, WPF controls textbox background color is light blue where for the shared is white. See attachments.
I see what you mean. The background colors of the two controls are not the same if both have Office2010Blue theme applied but they are different controls even though they have the similar functionality. In order to set other background color to one of them, you could change the xaml file for the theme the control is using. It is located in the Infragistics folder.
