WPF documentation exists on MSDN? - wpf-controls

Am I missing something or is there no documentation of WPF controls?
When I look at MSDN, it says to reference System.Windows.Controls
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752069.aspx), but this is for winforms?
Where can I find the WPF object model?

Bam!
Documentation for all WPF classes.

The URL you provide in your question (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752069.aspx) is, in fact, the documentation path for WPF controls, not for WinForm controls (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.aspx for WinForms). To get to the members of Treeview, for example, walkthrough Control Library >> TreeView then again click Treeview in the Reference section. I think a subtle point of confusion to Winform-only developers is to think that System.Windows.Controls is for WinForm, when it is actually for WPF.
The URL Kevin provided (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.aspx) is also an important one to know: it is the main documentation path for all of WPF.
Finally, if you want to get a sense of the similarities and differences between controls in WinForm and WPF, take a look at my article on Simple-Talk.com

How to perform ActionListener() in eclipse

Actually, I want to perform pure mouse actions(Clicking buttons, selecting check boxes, and select radio button)based upon the GUI label(name), But all the tutorials are given the example to perform with JFrame which we have created.
These examples makes me confusing.
Honestly I'm not professional developer. My professional is testing(QA), but I believe I have sufficient programming knowledge to understand the code. Please give me some sample that i can perform in eclipse IDE.
Note:
The objective of my question is:
How to perform the ActionEvent() in existed iDE?(The frame have File menu, Edit menu and so on.) Is it possible to do with Java?
Please share your ideas with me.
Thanks in advance.
Santhosh.
Create a frame.
Put a button into it.
Call the addActionListener class and add a ActionLister object
into it.
Override the actionPerformed method inside the anonymous inner
class.
As your question talks specifically about eclipse. You should use a plugin called window builder, built by google. It helps you handle action events.
Read the oracle's documentation for learning. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html
I can't write all the code here. But just to get you started here's a link. http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/java-swing-tutorials/278-how-add-actionlistener-jbutton-swing.html.

MvvmCross and Xcode Storyboard

The storyboard xcode are supported in mvvmcross v3?
If yes, how? There is an example?
Thanks
MvvmCross doesn't really fit that well with Storyboards
The reason is because Storyboards have some logic in them (eg Segue navigation) which really belongs inside actions in the MvvmCross ViewModels.
With that said... if you just want to take advantage of data-binding then you can... just:
add the MvvmCross assembly references
modify your Storyboard app so it runs some minimal setup code
use the Mvx*ViewController base classes instead of the UI*ViewController classes
and similarly use MvxTableViewCell (or similar) for the base class for any TableViewCell's you use.
There's no documentation around for this at the moment... but there is one sample - posted under the very odd title of 'eh' - https://github.com/slodge/eh - it's just a simple master-detail pair of views and it needs to be built against recent binaries - e.g from https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross-Binaries/tree/master/XS-iOS-Mac
Not sure if this is really the SO way but Stuart and others have a better answer IMHO to this question when it was asked at a later date. See the answers to this question MVVMCross support for Xamarin.iOS Storyboards
I am answering here just to tie up the Q&A
UPDATE
MVVMCross 3.5.1 Now has a FromStoryboard attribute so that you can have some views which are Storyboard based. See http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/351-release.html
Thanks

Is there any markup technique in FXML similar to data templates in XAML?

For example specifying UI for items in a ListView - declaratively.
The XAML way.
Take a look at the items titled fx:value, fx:factory, and Builders under the Instance Declarations section in the Introduction to FXML doc. There's also an example in the official FXML tutorial.
Generally, the main documentation page is a good starting point.

Android googledocs app component name

I am planning to provide menus for my app similar to the sliding menu shown in the below image when clicking on the button in the list view. Could you give me some pointers on, how it can be achieved. Is it SubMenu ?

I got it, the behavior or pattern name is QuikActions.

Winforms c# outlook like Interface

I have already asked the same question but in regards with MDI Application design. Now just for R&D purpose so that we can go with 2 solutions to our user. Can somebody plz help me out...
We are developing an OutLook Style Application using C# Winforms. In that application we are using Microsoft Table Control. Which is what we need to show our UI. In the left hand pane we have menu and in the right hand we are displaying our UserControl. Like CustomerManager. This UserControl is doing Adding, Updating, Deleting ect etc but we want to put the common action buttons, Like Add,Delete,Save on the top toolbar.
So far so good, Now what we need to acheve is regardless of UserControl. What ever UserControl is loaded in the MainForm's TableControl. When the save button is clicked it should process the data on that UserControl. Obviously we will write the logic of the Save Action on each UserControl.
Please help...
Regards
Shanx
I may advice you the Krypton Toolkit. You will write an Outlook style app in seconds.
For all who ended up here like me in search of a free toolkit: As Vulkanino suggested to use Krypton, I loooked it up.
This is now open source Freeware and can be found unter: Krypton Toolkit
Create a Base user control that contains your Add, Delete, Save methods and events. Then create every other functional control that inherits from the Base control.
When you action the main toolbar buttons, you can safely cast each user control in your given container, to the Base user control.
