WPF control in Photoshop

I want to develop a plugin that has minimum interaction with the host application. For example, once the plugin is loaded, the user is able to open and edit images on the plugin interface. The images can then be saved from the plugin dialog without the need to go through host application. Basically, the plugin will not have any interaction with the host except it will appear in the photoshop drop down menu (for that we need to code PiPL resource I guess?).
I need richer controls in my dialog interface, is it possible to use WPF (windows presentation foundation) forms and user controls instead of using MFC dialog provided in the sample code? Is WPF fully supported by photshop sdk?
Thanks for any help:)

But does common language runtime (clr) have to be enabled in order to hold wpf control? Is it supported by photoshop SDK?

WPF Control?

I am just checking to see if there have been any updates to the WPF control for .net 4.5? Is there a roadmap anywhere for this control? Not all of us are able to move our apps to a Windows Store or Web app.
Thanks

Thank you.
I am using it currently on an existing application but I am about to start a new project, Windows 8.1, WPF thick client, and was trying to figure out what my best options were for a WPF map control. If you had your choice of a
WPF Control, for purchase or free, which one has the best support and features for use as a frontend for Bing?
We will need to overlay approx. 2000 graphic objects, be able to select and context menu on an object, change an objects state, but no live tracking or movement of the objects. I am also familiar with the ESRI .net 4.0 control but not the latest 4.5
version.
At one time there were memory leaks found in the control, have they been fixed, or workarounds published?
thanks

Showing tranformation controls, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Mac Tiger

The 'show transformation controls' are checked but the controls do not display. Going to Edit - transform - ...... they will display, but then disappear again and do not show on re selecting with the move tool.
This has only just started to happen on the Mac and does not correspond to any upgrades or new software and has been working fine since the installation of CS2 quite some time ago.

Try trashing your preferences?
(Hold down the Shift+Option+Command keys AS you launch Photoshop. You'll get a little dialog to delete your settings.)

Does QTP/UFT support "Microsoft.Windows.Control" (one type of wpf control)?

Hello,
I have a challenge automating WPF Application in which they used new type of Wpf Data GridControl i.e "Microsoft.Windows.Control". We cannot access all the properties of this control(RowCount,GetCelldata). Can Anyone get this issue and provide me details of any patch that can resolve this issue?
Please let me know if you need more info and provide resolution ASAP

WPF controls range

Gentlemen,
I am trying to programmically set the range of a slider control based on a selection of a list box. I tried the FreqSelect.Range = New Range(0, 600) and FreqSelect.Range = New nationalinstruments.controls.Range(0, 600) without success based on the few other discussions and the winform method. how can it be done in WPF. Thank you
George MAsiello
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looking at the "Range Adjusters" example, you can use "New Range(Of Double)(minimum, maximum)" or "Range.Create(minimum, maximum)" to create a new range in Visual Basic.

Selective Color control in Photoshop Elements?

I am considering a purchase of Photoshop Elements for Mac. I am familiar with Photoshop 5.5 and I often use the Selective Color feature found in the Image menu (Image:Adjust:Selective Color...) Is there a similar feature in Photoshop Elements?

Access to the earlier Curves dialog has been curtailed by Adobe programmatically. I haven't yet checked into inserting the new Curves diaolog into things as a replacement...but it seems that it wouldn't be friendly. My technique is to use Gradient Maps as curves instead. You will be able to save/store presets, have a full preview, make adjustable adjustment layers, and other useful things!
Barbara's "Missing CD" includes my Simple Channel Mixer, which is a layer-based solution. I have additional tools on the way.

My controls in Photoshop CS3 have started going wonky.

Some require a double-click now, some hotkeys have to be hit twice, and others simply do not work. Worst of all, this also applies to menu selection - expand selection, for example, simply does not work at all.
I have not installed anything new recently, but may have hit the wrong thing on the keyboard by accident (a cat decided to tap dance her way from one side of the desk to the other).
Help? Adobe seems to have abandoned any way to contact them by phone.

First you need to at least update photoshop cs3 to 10.0.1 and any other cs3 updates you might need from here:
Adobe - Creative Suite : For Windows
Then i would reset the photoshop cs3 preferences.
reset preferences
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after starting the launch of photoshop cs3
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes

Connection between class, WPF-controls and parameters

Hello,
How do I show an instance of a class on my form and how do I connect this instance to my parameters?
I have defined a class VV and added validation to it (I intend to use this class im multiple projects):
public class VV
private Int64 id;
private string code;
private string naam;
public Int64 Id
get { return this.id; }
set { this.id = value; }
public string Code
get { return this.code; }
set
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
throw new ApplicationException("Code is een verplicht veld");
else
this.code = value;
I have made a form in XAML-code and connected the fields with my class:
<TextBox Name="tbNaam" Width="Auto" Style="{StaticResource errorStyle}">
<TextBox.Text>
<Binding Source="{StaticResource vvData}" Path="Code" >
<Binding.ValidationRules>
<ExceptionValidationRule/>
</Binding.ValidationRules>
</Binding>
</TextBox.Text>
</TextBox>
This works fine.
To save the data in de database I use a stored procedure.
When I declare the parameter.value as:
insertCmd.Parameters.Add("code_ipar", OracleDbType.Varchar2);
insertCmd.Parameters["code_ipar"].Value = tbCode.Text; ====> this is the name of my textbox in XAML
everything wordks fine. But instead of the textbox I want to connect the parameter to the class VV.
(so I can use this in multiple places)
How do I do that??
I tried to create a new instance of the class VV:
VV newVV = new VV();
but when I do that, I can't see this record on the screen.
How do I get this to work?
Thanks in advance.

When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one

How to calculate coordinate values of a control in runtime in wpf in xaml

Hi Iam new to wpf iam developing a appliacation.I was stucked at one point.I had a control which can drag and drop and can make resizable in the form now when i dragged the control from the original position to the new position in the canvas i want to read
and store the new position value of the controller in the canvas.Can anyone help me.I want this in wpf in xaml.
Thanks in Advance,
Dileep

There are two ways to work out position.
I'll give you both just in case but sounds like the second is probably going to work for you here.
The generic way:
Point relativePoint = myControl.TransformToAncestor(parentControl)
.Transform(new Point(0, 0));
Where myControl is whichever control you want to find the position of.
parentControl is whichever control you want the position to be relative to.
That could be your parent window or a panel or whatever the control is in within the window.
In this case that means your canvas.
Or
A Canvas has attached properties which define where a child of the canvas is.
I should think you can just use these:
Canvas.Left
Canvas.Top
These are set on the child and define it's top left corner. (Sort of. Wpf controls aren't all rectangular.)

Thank you to the WPF Bing Maps Control developers and Ricky

I just want to say thank you for the effort that the Bing Maps Team has put into updating the WPF Control. It is greatly appreciated. Those of us doing desktop development sometimes feel left out, and the recent updates go a long ways
to helping us do our jobs.
I look forward to bigger and better things in the future once the Microsoft direction for the desktop is made clear.
pmont

Glad to hear your happy with the updated control. All the credit goes to the developers. I only posted info on the forums, they did all the work.

How to show the text in a textBlock in my user control?

in my UC i have a textBlock . the text that i put through the xaml or the text that i put through the C# doesn't show:
<local1:Cell x:Class="UserControls.HintCell"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="130" d:DesignWidth="130" Loaded="UserControl_Loaded" >
<Grid x:Name="hintGrid" MouseLeave="hintGrid_MouseLeave">

<Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" Fill="Red" MouseEnter="triangle_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="triangle_MouseLeave" />
<TextBlock Name="text_top" Margin="82,20,20,76" FontSize="25" Text="55" Foreground="Black" x:FieldModifier="public"/>

<TextBlock Name="text_bottom" Margin="15,80,77,16" FontSize="25" Text="88" x:FieldModifier="public" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
</local1:Cell>
and the designer:
but, when debugging the text doesn't show:
i was told maybe to define the user control or the text as a dependency property, i don't know how to do it and maybe someone has a better solution?
thanks.

thanks. but i didn't really understand, maybe you can give an example with my parameters?
The text dependency property is called LabelFor.
It's this bit.
public string LabelFor
get { return (string)GetValue(LabelForProperty); }
set { SetValue(LabelForProperty, value); }
public static readonly DependencyProperty LabelForProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"LabelFor",
typeof(string),
typeof(EditRow));
You would substitute the name of your usercontrol for EditRow when you cut and paste that into it.
There is a style which defines what EditRow looks like by giving it a template.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:EditRow}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:EditRow}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={
RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType=local:EditRow},
Path=LabelWidth, TargetNullValue=2*}"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={
RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType=local:EditRow},
Path=PropertyWidth, TargetNullValue=3*}"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={
RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType=local:EditRow},
Path=LabelFor}"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Margin="0,4,0,0"/>
<Border Margin="6,2,6,2" Padding="0,2,0,2" Grid.Column="1" >
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
That uses binding to give the textblock text property the value of LabelFor.
You could instead put your markup directly in your usercontrol and bind it like that.
This bit would then pretty much cut and paste in
<TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={
RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType=local:EditRow},
Path=LabelFor}"
You would need two of course if you have two textblocks.
ps
People have suggested dependency property to you because this is how properties on wpf controls work.
If you instead chose to use properties then you lose the ability to set value by style, animation, binding etc Your usercontrol will not behave like a wpf control. This might not really concern you if you're just working on your own on an app.
It would if you were working in a team though.
Personally, I would reject code which exposed regular properties from a usercontrol at walk through.
Hope that helps.

Advice required for a wpf window used for survey?

I am developing a wpf desktop application which contains a survey form. Survey form includes bunch of radio buttons. at the end, i want that survey form to be converted in to pdf with the similar layout as in the window of application as shown in the fig:
I want your expert opinion what should be best for me and user in the following options?
I should convert the window to xps or pdf OR
i should just skip window and make a similar pdf layout that can be filled by user during survey using adobe reader pro and show it to user(In that case, we wont need to convert
anything, it will already be in pdf). OR
I should just take the snapshot of the survey window and then compile it in a pdf form.
Extra:
I have already written all the radio buttons information to a text file. Initially.Initially i thought that user should save the information and then he can read it from a text file but that's unprofessional. I tried to make a flow document but its very hard
to make layout in Flow document. I tried PdfSharp, it was helpful but then there was document in pdfSharp where user will fill a pdf. So i got confused. Any further suggestion on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks

There is no built-in feature that enables you to convert a window or a control to a PDF in .NET nor WPF so you will have to use some third-party tool to be able to this. Note that you should not ask questions about third-party software in these forums though
as they are intended for Microsoft's products and technologies only.
Please refer to the following thread for an example of how you could convert a WPF control, such as for example the root panel (Grid, StackPanel or whatever you are using) to an XPS document:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/502198/convert-wpf-xaml-control-to-xps-document.
Using the approach mentioned in the link above you could just take "a snapshot" of the panel that contains the radio buttons and save it to an XPS document.
Creating interactive user intefaces as a PDF in Adobe Reader Pro doesn't sound like a good idea and converting an existing PDF into a WPF GUI doesn't either. Then you probably better stick to your window with radio buttons and then convert the result into
an XPS document. Or you could save the content of the Grid, StackPanel or whatever to an image and then use some third-party sofware to generate a PDF file from the image if you necessarily want a PDF output:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4560173/save-wpf-view-as-image-preferably-png
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8881865/saving-a-wpf-canvas-as-an-image
Hope that helps.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then please start a new thread if you have a new question. Please don't post several questions in the same thread and please don't post questions about third-party software in the
MSDN forums.

Photoshop CS5 Very Slow Liquify

I've noticed that in Photoshop CS5, Liquify just works terribly slowly. When I click and drag to distort an image, the image gets distorted sometimes even 10 seconds after I've lifted my hand. Sometimes I have to wait 30-40 seconds for the distortions to happen before I can regain control of Photoshop.
Also, panning is a bit more choppy than in CS4, which annoys me a lot, as it was the case with CS4 compared to CS3, etc... I predict that panning in CS7 will look like a slideshow.
And another thing, when you Flick-Pan, and release the mouse, the canvas flies across the screen, and during that flying animation, in CS4, you could still zoom in and out with the keyboard. In CS5, you have to wait until the canvas has slowed down to a stop to be able to zoom. This is also a strange feature.
Adobe said CS5 will have performance improvements, and I can see filters, adjustments and brushes perform a tiny bit better, but basic things like panning, zooming and liquify got MUCH worse and less responsive, and this is not worth the tradeoff for me, since I use these features very frequently, many times a second.
I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet most of the time, and I noticed that Liquify is much faster (although still too slow for me to use it) when I use my trackpad instead of the pen.
I'm using the Photoshop CS5 trial now, and I have Photoshop CS3 and CS4 both installed on the same computer, so I can tell that CS3 ran much faster, CS4 was a bit slower and CS5 is a LOT slower. I'm using a late 2008 15 inch Unibody MacBook Pro with 9600M / 9400M graphics, 4GB RAM and 2.53 GHz CPU, and speed gets a bit better when using the 9600M.
Here are my questions:
Has anyone else had any of these problems, especially Liquify?
Has anyone else used CS5 and noticed that Liquify runs just fine?
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try to cure any of these problems?
Is it possible that this is the way Photoshop CS5 should run on my computer, due to my hardware limitations and bloated software?

How long is it going to take to fix this liquify problem?? Come one guys I need it to work now and better than in CS4 not worse!!! Otherwise why did I spend almost 1K to upgrade???
Looking into the problem isn't enough!!! I need a solution since I use the liquify tool for almost 99.9% of my images (fashion/beauty photography retouching).
Is there a temporary fix??? using the CS4 liquify plugin into the CS5 software?????
do a google search on slow liquify and see what comes up..... still pretty nice and insecure requests for the reason why it is so slow because users think it is their machine (computer) but if I don't get an answer and fi very soon (couple of days at the most) this nice and insecurity will vanish for a HUGE ADOBE *** kicking campaign !!! Since photoshop is known for their arrogantly slow updates for their software and waits till the next big update to correct things....I am not going to wait 18 months for you guys to fix the liquify problem!!!
SO GET TO IT NOW!!!!! So I can do my work and make enough money to keep spending on adobe upgrades!
And as a side note...didn't you "wizzards" have enough time to discover this BIG problem beforehand?? Or were you to busy fighting with Apple about your huge Flash problem??
