I'm developping a WPF touch application. I have a scrollviewer containing buttons. I want to scroll the display when I touch-drag the buttons, and call the button's command when I tap. Here's some code to get started:
<Window x:Class="wpf_Button_Scroll.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:my="clr-namespace:wpf_Button_Scroll"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="200">
<Window.DataContext>
<my:MyViewModel />
</Window.DataContext>
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding MyData}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="{Binding}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.MyCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ItemsControl}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}"
Margin="5 2" Width="150" Height="50"
FontSize="30" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</Window>
And the view model:
namespace wpf_Button_Scroll
{
class MyViewModel
{
public MyViewModel()
{
MyCommand = new ICommandImplementation();
}
public string[] MyData
{
get
{
return new string[]{
"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten",
"eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen", "twenty"
};
}
}
public ICommand MyCommand { get; private set; }
private class ICommandImplementation : ICommand
{
public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { return true; }
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
public void Execute(object parameter) { System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("Button clicked! " + (parameter ?? "").ToString()); }
}
}
}
Intended behavior:
when the user taps a button, a message box appears with the text "Button clicked!" ==> OK
when the user presses a button and moves his finger (without releasing), the buttons scroll up and down ==> NOK
How can I achieve scrolling in a ScrollViewer that contains buttons?
I'm developping on Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7, and I'm targeting a Windows 7 desktop and a Windows 8 tablet with the same codebase. Framework 4.0. If it's really necessary, I can upgrade to 4.5.2 (we have many users, so it's not trivial to upgrade).
Since there were Button(s)
in the ListView
for which we have to make the command
get executed when intended. So that's the tricky part was. I did it in below way:
XAML:
<Window.DataContext>
<local:MyViewModel />
</Window.DataContext>
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer>
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding MyData}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="listview" ScrollViewer.PanningMode="VerticalOnly">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Content="{Binding}"
Command="{Binding DataContext.MyCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ItemsControl}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}"
Margin="5 2" Width="150" Height="50"
FontSize="30" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
<ListView.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<EventSetter Event="PreviewMouseMove" Handler="PreviewMouseMove" />
<EventSetter Event="Drop" Handler="Drop" />
<Setter Property="AllowDrop" Value="True" />
</Style>
</ListView.Resources>
</ListView>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
ViewModel:
class MyViewModel
{
public MyViewModel()
{
MyCommand = new ICommandImplementation();
}
public ObservableCollection<string> MyData
{
get
{
return new ObservableCollection<string>(new string[]{
"one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten",
"eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen", "twenty"
});
}
}
public ICommand MyCommand { get; private set; }
private class ICommandImplementation : ICommand
{
public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { return true; }
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
public void Execute(object parameter) { System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("Button clicked! " + (parameter ?? "").ToString()); }
}
}
Events:
private void Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
var source = e.Data.GetData("Source") as string;
if (source != null)
{
int newIndex = listview.Items.IndexOf((sender as Button).Content);
var list = listview.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<string>;
list.RemoveAt(list.IndexOf(source));
list.Insert(newIndex, source);
}
}
private void PreviewMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
Task.Factory.StartNew(new Action(() =>
{
Thread.Sleep(500);
App.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
{
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
var data = new DataObject();
data.SetData("Source", (sender as Button).Content);
DragDrop.DoDragDrop(sender as DependencyObject, data, DragDropEffects.Move);
e.Handled = true;
}
}), null);
}), CancellationToken.None);
}
}
In this link I've written how Drag & Drop
works in respect of events and their data sharing.
And I'm still working on scrolling part.
