🔎 Demonstration Application

The demonstration application, Atc.Wpf.Sample, functions as a control explorer. It provides quick visualization of a given control, along with options for copying and pasting the XAML markup and/or the C# code for how to use it.

🎈 Playground and Viewer for a Given Control or Functionality

The following example is taken from the ReplayCommandAsync which illustrates its usage:

• The Sample tab shows how to use the control or feature.
• The XAML tab displays the corresponding XAML markup.
• The CodeBehind tab reveals the underlying code-behind.
• The ViewModel tab displays the associated ViewModel, if used.
• The Readme tab displays the associated [control]_Readme.md, if exist.

🚀 How to get started with Atc's WPF

First of all, include Nuget packages in the .csproj file like this:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Atc.Wpf" Version="latest" />
    <PackageReference Include="Atc.Wpf.Controls" Version="latest" />
    <PackageReference Include="Atc.Wpf.FontIcons" Version="latest" />
    <PackageReference Include="Atc.Wpf.Theming" Version="latest" />
  </ItemGroup>

Then update App.xaml like this:

<Application
    x:Class="Atc.Wpf.Sample.App"
    xmlns:atc="https://github.com/atc-net/atc-wpf/tree/main/schemas"
    [other namespaces]>
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>

            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Atc.Wpf.Theming;component/Styles/Default.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Atc.Wpf.Controls;component/Styles/Controls.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

Now it is possible to use controls with theming and default WPF controls like TextBox, Button etc. with theme style.
