thanks bro for lectures
I really love your videos
Would like to gently request if you can make a video on how to create an editable page like that of microsoft word which can auto insert pages
Thanks in advance

For some reason accepting the change in the control by hitting Enter button does not update it (EditedText value is not being replaced with what was typed in), but when i click on the save button by mouse EditedText is properly changed to what was typed in during editing. If anyone else has encountered same issue just add to EditedText binding.

thank you very much man
this is the best wpf tutorial

Great Video!
How would you do data validation here? Checking the password is long or complext enough for example. Or that the text boxes are not empty etc.
Would you do it directly in the controls view model or somewhere else?

I've made some text entry controls like the ones in this video. I would like to focus the textbox on them after a button press elsewhere in the application. Like when I hit the 'update' button that lives in another control, I'd like to focus the textbox that has the main input for the current page. If that makes sense

Love your videos...I am learning so much...thank you for that...quick question, what key combination are you using to find files in your solution?

[barryjohnson]

Thanks for the awesome video. I am sure this video will be very helpful in my application that I am making.

Hey Luke, I'm having a lot of trouble to get the TextBox focused. I've already tried to delete the .vs, bin and obj folders, and to delete the attached property, build the app and add the attached property again as someone else commented. Do you have any idea what is going on?
By the way, your tutorials are the best and I have learned a lot from them.

Another well explained tutorial. I have a quick question. After I added the TextEntryControls to the StackPanel in the SettingsControl whenever I edit one of these controls it makes changes to all the others (I assumed because they're all referencing the same static TextEntryDesignModel instance). How did you get it to make separate instances of the TextEntryDesignModel?

Hi, nice work again :).

Do you plan to create a service(send and recieve messages, process data to db, etc...) to this chat application as a new series of tutorial? I know how to create services, i no need tutorial . But your code looks very well and cleany. I like your tuts ;)

I have created a control similar to this one, it repeats 13 times. In this control is a button with a command that brings me to another page. Is there away to find out which button was pressed? Right now i have just created 13 commands one for each button saving an integer so I know which was pressed. There must be a better way, what if i have more than one button in each control.

[yajra.mendoza]

Good day Sir. I just want to ask, is it okay to use System.Windows.InterActivity for raising a command in datagrid like selectionchanged and bind it to a RelayCommand?

Sorry for my question, I am new in WPF.


Nice vid by the way. Currently I'm in Episode 19 of your tutorial. Great work thanks!! :)

At the 35 minute mark when trying to make the text box auto focus, it's not working for me.
I put a breakpoint in the OnValueChanged for FocusProperty, and it steps into the control.Focus()....but the control never pulls the focus.

Any suggestions?

[HornCamp]

do you plan on doing animations with expression blend?

[barryjohnson]

my friend are you going to make an auto complete search box ?

[montaguth]

git hub source code is a little different from video, is that right?
