R – How to replace the click event with a mouseover in a Silverlight 2.0 Combobox

silverlight-2.0

I have a combo box that in Silverlight 2.0 that I want it to open when a user mouses over the toggle button and then close when they mouse away. The default behavior is a click.

Here is my style code (sorry it is so long):

<Style x:Key="HelpComboBoxStyle" TargetType="ComboBox">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF1F3B53"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Once"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#104F9B"/>

<Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="ComboBox">
            <Grid>
                <Grid.Resources>
                    <Style TargetType="ToggleButton" x:Name="comboToggleStyle">
                        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#104F9B"/>
                        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
                        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="3"/>
                        <Setter Property="Template">

                                <ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">

I'm going to have to answer my own question here. I was focues on the xaml that I didn't think to just add a MouseEnter event handler on the combox box control.

R – Silverlight 2.0 DataGrid How to remove mouseover effect

The short answer is to use styles. The long answer is the following:

There are two style properties in the Silverlight 2.0 datagrid that should solve your problem. The first is CellStyle and the second is RowStyle. The CellStyle property is the one which will remove the light blue highlight around the currently selected cell. The RowStyle property is the one where you will be able to remove the light blue shade indicating the selected row. The CellStyle that I used is as follows:

    <Style x:Key="CellStyle" TargetType="local:DataGridCell">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
        <Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Arrow" />
        <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:DataGridCell">
                    <Grid Name="Root" Background="Transparent">
                        <vsm:VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                            <vsm:VisualStateGroup x:Name="CurrentStates" >
                                <vsm:VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
                                    <vsm:VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0" />
                                </vsm:VisualStateGroup.Transitions>

                                <vsm:VisualState x:Name="Regular" />
                                <vsm:VisualState x:Name="Current" />
                                    <!--<Storyboard>
                                        <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="FocusVisual" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0" />
                                    </Storyboard>
                                </vsm:VisualState>-->
                            </vsm:VisualStateGroup>
                        </vsm:VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <Rectangle Name="FocusVisual" Stroke="#FF6DBDD1" StrokeThickness="1" Fill="#66FFFFFF" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" IsHitTestVisible="false" Opacity="0" />
                        <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Cursor="{TemplateBinding Cursor}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" />
                        <Rectangle Name="RightGridLine" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="1" />
                    </Grid>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

If you will notice, I commented out the storyboard that changed the FocusVisual rectangle's opacity value. What this was doing was to set the FocusVisual rectangle to be shown on cell selection. (Please Note: You cannot remove the FocusVisual Element as the CellPresenter is expecting this element, and not finding the element will cause an error.)

The RowStyle I used is as follows:

    <Style TargetType="local:DataGridRow" x:Key="MyCustomRow">
        <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:DataGridRow">
                    <localprimitives:DataGridFrozenGrid x:Name="Root">
                        <localprimitives:DataGridFrozenGrid.Resources>
                            <Storyboard x:Key="DetailsVisibleTransition" >
                                <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="DetailsPresenter" Storyboard.TargetProperty="ContentHeight" Duration="00:00:0.1" />

As you can see, I commented out some more visual states. You will want to comment out the MouseOver VisualState storyboard, the Normal Selected storyboard, the MouseOver Selected storyboard, and the Unfocused Selected storyboard.

(Please Note: I did not remove these visual states, I only commented out what they used to do.)

R – How to export a Silverlight 2.0 DataGrid to html

HTML is a bad choice for printing for several reasons which are well documented on this site so I won't get into them.

I would suggest that you export to PDF rather than attempt to go with the HTML route. For Exporting to PDF there are a number of good .Net tools available. Other options include exporting your grid to a spreadsheet program like Excel, Spreadsheet Gear, or OpenOffice Calc which will offer additional functionality.
