How would you do this portion from code behind?

   <Button Content="Delete selected"
          tools:ExecuteCommandOnControl.RoutedCommand="{x:Static igDP:DataPresenterCommands.DeleteSelectedDataRecords}"
         tools:ExecuteCommandOnControl.Target="{Binding ElementName=dataGrid}" />

Isn't there any other way to make it work? I've been trying to make it expand, but when I click on the expander the arrow toggles, but the content doesn't show up!

@Fredrik Duwell : Hey, the Expander can't be migrated because it does not have the same property thant the SL's one. You may try using the one is the amazingWPFControls codeplex project...

Hi again!
Couldn't you complete this UI? I'd need the expander, but it doesn't work - any ideas?

@Dave : I have no clue on how to do this.

Maybe you can create your own customcontrol copying the BorderControl and put an AutomationPeer in it ?

Hey, cool post. thanks.
One question:

How can I create an automation peer for a border? By default, border is not supported for automation peers. But I will check in a coded UI test whether a specific background color in the border has been set or not.

thanks for any help.

Migrate the Jetpack theme from Silverlight to WPF - CK

Hello Jonathan,
Thanks for converting this style I was actually doing this myself last night then found your blog and it saved me the trouble. However I am having a few issues with your conversion.

ProgressBars set to IsIndeterminate cause the editor to error saying:
Cannot resolve all property references in the property path '(0).(1).(2)[ 0 ].X'.

Which is on line 1448 of CoreStyles.xaml

Another issue I found was with TabItems, Which is throwing this error:
System.Windows.Media.Animation.ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames' animation object cannot be used to animate property 'Foreground' because it is of incompatible type 'System.Windows.Media.Brush'.

Which is on line 3013 of SDKStyles.xaml.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with all the latest updates and such, along with the Windows Phone toolkit installed. I'm fairly new to WPF so figuring out how to fix these issues alone is proving troublesome. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, the application will still run when compiled, it just wont show in the designer due to these errors.

Thanks,
CK

[Performance tips] Use the system shadows instead of your own - Jonathan ANTOINE

Jonathan ANTOINE — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 21:09:11 +0200

@Nirvi : I think it will still work because we use a specific control (the shadow) in a specific assembly and not the theme system as a whole.
