handycontrols's Issues

[Feature request] windows 11 context menu entries support

windows 11 context menu integration methods
Right now, the shell!/context menu command that we add by handycontrols, are shown in a new "show more options" menu of windows 11 context menu.
It would be great to have an option to avoid that.

we can check if windows os is 11, and then add entries in windows 11 fashion else same as before

Page XAML Designer doesn't load

Describe the bug

I'm trying to edit a xaml Page but the designer doesn't load the view.
all i can see is a (Very small) dot at the middle of the screen.

I added the DesignTimeResources.xaml for the itellisense as mentioned in the documentation. (also edited the .csproj and reloaded it)

i dont know if i'm doing something wrong but this issue slows down a bit my development.
What i'm doing right know is: creating a temporary user control and copy and paste the xml..

To Reproduce
Simply add to a wpf project (with HandyControls, obv) a Page (for a NavigationWindow)

Screenshots

This is my XAML Designer

and my code is

`

<Grid>
    <TextBlock Text="Test" 
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               HorizontalAlignment="Center"
               FontSize="30"
               Foreground="White"/>
</Grid>

`

Class:

namespace Tengu.Classes.View { /// <summary> /// Logica di interazione per HomePage.xaml /// </summary> public partial class HomePage : Page { public HomePage() { InitializeComponent(); } } }

Environment (please complete the following information):

• .Net core 5.0
• IDE Visual Studio 2k19
• HandyControls Version 3.3.5

I apologize in case i made a mistake in creating the report.
i love this library a lot!!

Difference between Loading and LoadingIndicator controls?

As I looking deeper in this amazing WPF toolkit, I don't understand why there is Loading and LoadingIndicator controls ? They seem to be overlapping a little bit each other.

I would say that Loading is the recommanded control as we find it in the Extended Controls page in the documentation site whereas LoadingIndicator documentation page is inside PersianToolkit area.

Would you give me some light on it?

TR Language Support

I translate for Turkish language support.
Please, I would be glad if you add it.

hc:Localization design time error

Run time no error, just design time. Refresh and rebuild not fix.

Add P/Invoke Docs

Russian localization

Hello!
You can add Russian localization?
I can send for you edited file with translated messages.

New release?

We are in the final stage of developing our new software using HandyControls. Currently we are using HandyControls v3.3.7 but we would benefit a lot of the new features (Mainly the Spanish translations but also the new "DataGrid.Small" and some bugfixes with the TextBox component error validation.)

Any possibility in having a new release?
I've tried using the MyGet builds but they seem a little unstable and crash or fail.

btw: thanks for contributing to such amazing library <3 Love it

Exception when select 1400/12/30 in PersianDatePicker control

<hc:PersianDatePicker SelectedDateFormat="Long"/>
when type 1400/12/30 and hit enter this error occured :
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: 'Day must be between 1 and 29 for month 12. (Parameter 'day')
Actual value was 30.'

Using both (Persian and Gregorian) calendars in single control and custom month names for PersianCalendar

1. Would be very nice if the PersianCalendar control would be able to render both Gregorian and Persian calendars based on may be a DependencyProperty like IsGregorian? That would be great for multi-culture applications.
2. Custom month names for Persian calendar would be very useful. for example if I need to use "Dari" month names like (حمل) instead of (فروردین) and (ثور) instead of (اردیبهشت).
   Thanks

Does EnumDescriptionTypeConverter and LocalizedDescription works well for dynamic language change?

To Reproduce

• Add HandyControls as NuGet package without specifying a language pack

• Richt-click on the tab header
• Here you can see a menu which is not in the default language

Expected behavior

SimpleText control bug

Problem
Problem is in SimpleText control.
When you changing Foreground property it simply not changes the color of the text.
(I use the latest version of HandyControls on NuGet)

Localization

@GF-Huang
Unfortunately, the alternative I found was also limited, so I decided to Improve the previous localization which I had removed.
Finally, after a few hours, I succeeded, activating the design mode.😁
If you agree, I will return this version again

[Feature request] Global Data helper, if the path doesn't exist, create it.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
currently, I have to manually create the path first before using a custom name with the path that might not exist already.

Describe the solution you'd like

public override string FileName { get; set; } =
         Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),"foo","bar","AppConfig.json");

if the above folders. foo & bar does not exist, Data helper should create them, before creating AppConfig.json.

Additional context
This method might come in handy

public static void CreateFile(string fullFilePath)
        {
            var fileName = Path.GetFileName(fullFilePath);
            var pathWithoutFileName = fullFilePath.Replace(fileName, "");
            Directory.CreateDirectory(pathWithoutFileName);
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileName))
				fileName = "AppConfig.json";
            File.Create(Path.Combine(pathWithoutFileName, fileName));
        }

Language Binding does not update when value of binded property changes

Describe the bug
I have used the following way to bind my label

<Label BorderThickness="0" Content="{ex:Lang Key={Binding AppStatus}}"/>

I have the following keys in my Lang.resx = "Idle", "Searching"
whose values are also defined.
Now the Initial value of AppStatus is set to "Idle"
and it shows and changes as I change language, but when I change the value of AppStatus to something else, say
AppStatus = "Searching"
I expected the value on the UI to change as well(to display the localized value of 'Searching'), but it stays on "Idle".

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Bind any control with {ex:Lang Key={Binding BindingProperty}}
2. Change the value of 'BindingProperty' to something else from the code
3. The display value of the control doesn't change.

Expected behavior
When the value of BindedProperty is changed, I expected it would display the localized string of new value.

Is it required to reference HandyControl and HandyControls nuget packages both ?

In the quick start, it is not clear if we have to reference HandyControl and HandyControls nuget packages both or if HandyControls is enough because it contains the other one ?

Custom treeviewitem foreground is not changed when is selected in treeview

I have an issue.
I created a custom treeviewitem content:

• StackPanel
  • Image
  • SimpleText

By default the SimpleText foreground is black.
But when I choose that treeviewitem in a tree it's still black foreground.
How can I fix that?
Update: I found a selected event but how to update the color to black again when the node is unselected?
Update 2: I found an unselected event lol, now I have a problem: double click event on treeview not works anymore.
Update 3: i added DoubleClick event to treeviewitem instead, it works.

And now I have the same problem about the treeviewitem with the childs:
You can see my code for the changing colors of treeviewitem content:

item.Selected += delegate (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { lbl.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(255, 255, 255)); };
item.Unselected += delegate (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { lbl.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0,0,0)); };
item.LostFocus += delegate (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { lbl.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0, 0, 0)); };

When the item is selected: item text color changed to white (gets blue bg)
When the item is unselected: item text changed to black (gets white bg)
When the item is lost focus: item text changed to black(gets gray bg)
Everything works well, but only with the treeviewitems that didn't have any children.
The items that contain some children are:

• Getting white text color when its children are selected (But getting black text color when its children are lost focus)

Please fix that bug. I think the bug isn't in theme. It's in the events. Maybe a treeviewitem with children does wrong events?

All that i do right now is to handle a treeviewitem with an icon. Maybe there easier ways?

GlobalDataHelper.Load() throwing exception if AppConfig.json is empty.

Describe the bug
public static AppConfig Settings = GlobalDataHelper.Load();
Loading the JSON file throws an exception if the JSON file is empty, which though seems correct, but the way setting files are expected, maybe it could be made better

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clear the content of "AppConfig.json"
2. Try to load it in code.

Expected behavior
If the config file is empty, it should be recreated, as is the case when the file doesn't exist.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• .net: 5.0
• IDE VS2019
• Version 3.3.7

Additional context
My config file was empty because it was locked, which led to this exception as well.

[Feature request] Add a IValueConverter property to EnumBindingSourceExtension

Sometimes we need to binding the enum which defined in 3rd library or built-in .NET, so we can't add attributes to it.

Now, I use 2 converters to solves this issue when using ComboBox. If EnumBindingSourceExtension supports IValueConverter for each enum value, I can delete the CipherTypeArrayConverter and only use 1 converter.

The Dynamic Multi Language does not works at design time, is it meet expectation?

Am I missing something? If not, I've written a language manager a few years ago, it's used for .NET Framework WPF that supports runtime switching languages and displays well on the designer, if you want, I can provide the code here.

hc:MenuAttach.IsEnabledAnimation="False" not works

hc:MenuAttach.IsEnabledAnimation="False" not works in 3.3.6-beta.19, same code in 3.3.5 works well.

Default GlobalDataHelper config file should be created and used from only where the assembly(exe) is located

1. Open a command prompt at any location.
2. Run the exe using the full path to exe.
3. AppConfig.json will be created in the directory of step 1.

Expected behavior
The AppConfig.json should not be created at cmd working directory and must be used from where the exe is located.
