If the way you're doing it works without side-effects, that's the right way to do it. :) ".45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly" - JSOP, 2010 ----- You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010 ----- When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013

BTW the inline text editor is progressing nicely.. now I "just" need to add the text to the map... :) [Text-Input — ImgBB](https://ibb.co/0qkJbwL) A new .NET Serializer All in one Menu-Ribbon Bar Taking over the world since 1371!

Yeah, well, mmm.. isn't what I just said? Anyway, this is exactly what I am doing! :thumbsup: :) And, in other news, I got the text editor just appearing on my map, finally! :) A new .NET Serializer All in one Menu-Ribbon Bar Taking over the world since 1371!

forget it... converter are the simplest thing to write. if you feel the need to download premade one, you need more practice writing ones! ;P also, most of them, apart perhaps from the classical boolean to visibility, null to boolean, and null to visibility and color to brushes and pens, are specific to your application A new .NET Serializer All in one Menu-Ribbon Bar Taking over the world since 1371!

I use ListViews. In fact. I wrote an article on CodeProject that illustrates a custom ListView control that can auto-generate columns based on the dataset being represented. It doesn't support editable cells, but it does have sort functionality (that can be toggled on a column-by-column basis, column name overrides, custom column formatting, and other stuff.

DS-Digital works fine in WPF. I'm using it in a tool I wrote last year. I added the font .ttf files to a Fonts folder in my project. Set them to "Resource", NOT "Embedded Resource". In my XAML, I've got the following: ./Fonts/#DS-Digital ... ...and wherever I want to use the font: Of course, you can always use the same font path in a Style block with a FontFamily.

When I instantiate a VM, it typically instantiates the model on its own, which retrieves the data (from a database, xml, or json file). If the requirements call for modifying/saving the data, I keep the model around in a protected property inside the viewmodel. Most of the time, I set the data context to the form, and bind controls to the viewmodel(s) and various other properties. I don't think I've ever set the data context to a specific viewmodel because that just means more typing.

I wrote an article: WPF - Modeless Window Manager[^] This code will manage the modeless window for you, and provides several handy features. In my own code, I instantiate all windows from the UI, but if it's more handy for your app to instantiate a view from the viewmodel itself, go forth and break tradition. Remember, all of the "rules" you read are actually just guidelines. Yes, you should strive to follow industry best-practice, but you should also be flexible enough to know when you can step outside the box.

Your WPF code is using a ListBox, not a tree-view control.

Right. Now you can start thinking about axis labels, legends, titles, data sources, etc. It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it. ― Confucian Analects: Rules of Confucius about his food

I have also seen static's used. Not a "static" fan but it works. Static's have there place. The reason Serilog is so easy to use and hence popular is because of static's. So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

I don't understand your apprehension about the "direct" approach ... or is this another "MVVM" thing? private void Containers_OnTargetUpdated(object? Sender, DataTransferEventArgs E) { this.Scroller.ScrollToHome(); } The compiler recognize the name you gave to the ScrollViewer in the XAML (for that page / control); you don't need "reflection" in this case. For other "public" cases, add a public "getter" for the control in question. I assume you have some idea when the ItemsSource to the list is changed; set the scroll then if event handling is too confusing.

How did you remember that?? I totally forgot I posted that. If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

I like that phrase, "ferret it out". It is a common idiom. I brings to mind the furry little animal that seems to not have a spine and can get into all kinds of places. Per Wikipedia, The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief". In this case wiggling around a lot and stealing results from obscure references.

Thanks, but I already checked into that. No luck. So this morning, on a hunch, I replaced my clone method with this public static T Clone<T>(this T source) where T : class { var clonedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source); return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(clonedJson); } and it now works. The previous clone code I posted was working up until something changed this week when it stopped working. Strange. Thanks for your help. If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Use a DataTemplateSelector as the ComboBox.ItemTemplateSelector. The SelectTemplate() method will be passed each item, (the enum in your case). Select a data template specific to each case you want.
