  11. TreeView • TreeView allows a nested hierarchy of templatable nodes • Each node is a HeaderedItemsControl

  12. Using TreeView • <controls:TreeViewSelectedValuePath="Classification”> • <controls:TreeView.ItemTemplate> • <controls:HierarchicalDataTemplate • ItemsSource="{Binding Subclasses}"> • <StackPanel> • <TextBlockText="{Binding Rank}" Foreground="Gray" Margin="0 0 0 -5" /> • <TextBlock Text="{Binding Classification}" /> • </StackPanel> • </controls:HierarchicalDataTemplate> • </controls:TreeView.ItemTemplate> • </controls:TreeView>

  13. New Silverlight Controls • New controls for Silverlight at PDC: • AutoComplete • Charting • NumericUpDown • These controls will be made available on WPF • WPF versions will take advantage of WPF capabilities where appropriate

  14. AutoComplete Standard AutoComplete ItemsSource set to a list of strings IsTextSearchEnabled is set to true Very customizable Can use an adapter to put anything inside the drop down – including a DataGrid Above: an AutoComplete ComboBox control (custom template) Easy to style with data templates ItemsSource is a set of Photograph objects Custom DataTemplate

  15. Using AutoComplete • <controls:AutoComplete • MinWidth="300" • MinimumPrefixLength="1" • MinimumPopulateDelay="0" • ItemsSource="{StaticResourceMonthsObjectCollection}"/>
