You can create a custom user control that provides niche functionality and unique visual characteristics by using the XRCustomUserControlImpl<Base,IFace> class in Silverlight for Windows Embedded. For example, you might need a control that is customized for a particular type of application, such as a control for navigating a map, a control for browsing a three-dimensional menu, or a control that shows progress or status using advanced visual indicators instead of a simple progress bar.

You define the appearance of a custom user control in XAML, implement its functionality in C++ by using Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0, and access it from the visual tree by using the IXRFrameworkElement::FindName method.

When you create a custom user control, you can reuse it across multiple Silverlight for Windows Embedded applications.

Creating a custom user control in Silverlight for Windows Embedded is a six-step process. First, you must define the graphical user interface (GUI) in XAML. Then, create a source file in C++ for the custom user control. Then you can implement the custom user control class. Then, you must register the control and add it to the visual tree. Finally, build your application and OS. The process to create a custom user control is described as follows.

Prerequisites

A Silverlight for Windows Embedded application. For more information, see Create a Silverlight for Windows Embedded Application.

Step 1: Define the GUI for the Custom User Control in XAML

Use Microsoft Expression Blend 2 or another XAML editor to create a new .xaml file that contains the GUI definition and the namespace declaration for the control. Then, to add the user control to other .xaml files, you add its custom namespace declaration to the root element. For more information about XAML namespaces, see MSDN. For more information about doing this with Expression Blend 2, see the Microsoft Expression Web site.

Note

Silverlight for Windows Embedded does not support code-behind in C# for user controls defined in XAML. If you have code-behind in C# for a Silverlight custom user control that you would like to reuse, you can port it to the C++ class that you create in this tutorial.

Step 2: Create a C++ Source File for the Custom User Control

In your application subproject in Platform Builder, create a C++ source file for your user control that includes XamlRuntime.h and XRCustomControl.h.

If your application calls methods in the custom user control, you must create an interface for the control in the sources file that derives from IXRCustomUserControl. Then, define any custom methods or fields on the interface.

The following example template code provides a starting point for creating an interface:

_interface __declspec(uuid("{F01D249B-89EC-4134-9CF7-822CB326D5A3}"))
class ICustomCtrl : public IXRCustomUserControl
{
public:
   virtual HRESULT GetProperty() = 0;
};

As illustrated in the previous code, you must create a new unique identifier (ID) for the interface by using the Guidgen tool and the __declspec keyword. For more information, see __declspec at MSDN.

To obtain a unique ID for the __declspec keyword, do the following:

From the command prompt build window in Windows, change the directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools and then type guidgen.
In the Create GUID dialog box, select 4 Registry Format, and then click Copy.
Open the new source file by double-clicking it in Solution Explorer, and then paste the GUID into either the __declspec keyword, or into the second parameter of the DEFINE_XR_IID macro.
Note You can also use the DEFINE_XR_IID macro to assign a unique ID to the interface. DEFINE_XR_IID is described in the DEFINE_XR_IID topic.

Step 3: Implement the Custom User Control Class

Implement a custom user control class that inherits from the template wrapper class XRCustomUserControlImpl<Base,IFace>.

If you created a custom interface in the previous step, the following must be true:
The optional Interface parameter of the template must be the name of that interface.
The GUID you supply in the required __declspec keyword must be different from the one you associated with the custom interface.

The following code shows a starting point for implementing a custom user control class:

class __declspec(uuid("{91C2F5FF-8FCC-4626-AC67-850283620C09}")) CustomCtrl : public XRCustomUserControlImpl<CustomCtrl,ICustomCtrl>
{
public:
  static HRESULT GetXamlSource(XRXamlSource* pXamlSource)
  {
    // add implementation
  }
  static HRESULT Register(HINSTANCE hInstance)
  {
    // add implementation
  }
};

If you derived the control class from the wrapper class XRCustomUserControlImpl<Base,IFace>, you must implement Register and GetXamlSource.

In addition to Register and GetXamlSource, you can also define and implement any additional methods, fields, or events that you want in your custom user control class implementation. If you will register a dependency property or an attached property, you can implement Get* and Set* methods that pass XRValue objects in their parameters.

When you define a custom user control class that inherits from XRCustomUserControlImpl<Base,IFace>, you must also provide custom implementations of the Register and GetXamlSource methods.

Register Method

In your application’s WinMain procedure, after you retrieve the application instance and, optionally, add a resource module, you will call your custom Register method. Then, create the visual host by calling IXRApplication::ParseXaml.

At minimum, you must include code that calls the XRCustomUserControlImpl::Register method in your implementation. This method registers a custom user control by associating a specific element name, which was defined in a specific XAML namespace with the x:Class attribute, with a specific interface ID (IID). XRCustomUserControlImpl::Register is a static method and you can call it without creating an instance of XRCustomUserControlImpl<Base,IFace>.

If the custom user control has a dependency property or an attached property, your Register method implementation must also include code that registers the property. In this case, the Register method implementation must obtain an application instance by calling GetXRApplicationInstance and then call either IXRApplication::RegisterAttachedProperty or IXRApplication::RegisterDependencyProperty method, depending on the type of property included.

Typically, you also implement a GetCustomProperty and SetCustomProperty method in your control class that provides access to the value of the property.

The following example code shows an example implementation of the Register method that is intended to be used in the declaration of your implementation of CustomCtrl.

Important

For readability, the following code example does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.

static HRESULT Register()
    {
        HRESULT hr = S_OK;

        hr = XRCustomUserControlImpl::Register(__uuidof(CustomCtrl)), L"CustomUserControl", L"clr-namespace:CustomUserControlNamespace");
        if (FAILED(hr))
        {
            goto Exit;
        }
   Exit:
        return hr;
}

GetXamlSource Method

Before you can parse and load the control into the visual tree, you have to call the GetXamlSource method to get the source XAML file that defines the GUI for the control. The GetXamlSource method retrieves the control-definition XAML file so that Silverlight can parse its XAML and load the control into the visual tree.

You write this method so that the PFN_CREATE_CONTROL callback function can call it internally when Silverlight parses XAML for the application. This callback function is provided by the wrapper class.

At minimum, your GetXamlSource implementation must include code that populates the XRXamlSource structure, which is supplied in the input parameter of this method, with information about the source XAML for your control. To add this code, do one of the following:

Call the member function XRXamlSource.SetResource. This member function takes an application instance returned by an earlier call to GetXRApplicationInstance, a string that describes the XAML resource type, and the ID of the resource, which is a .xaml file. If you define IDs for XAML resources in a resource (.rc) file, you can convert the ID into a resource type by using the MAKEINTRESOURCE macro inline. The following code example shows how to use this member function in a GetXamlSource implementation.

Important

For readability, the following code example does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.
```
#define RT_XAML         L"XAML"
static HRESULT GetXamlSource(XRXamlSource* pXamlSource)
    {
        pXamlSource->SetResource(s_hInstance, RT_XAML, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_XAML_2DLISTVIEW));
        return S_OK;
    }
```
Call the member function XRXamlSource.SetFile. Using this approach, you can set the source XAML file by providing the file name. The following code example shows how to use this member function in a GetXamlSource implementation.

Important

For readability, the following code example does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.
```
static HRESULT GetXamlSource(XRXamlSource* pXamlSource)
    {
        pXamlSource->SetFile(RESOURCE_DIR L"CustomControlDefinition.xaml");
        return S_OK;
    }
```

Step 4: Register the Custom User Control

To register the custom user control in your application startup code, call the Register method you implemented before the application startup code calls IXRApplication::CreateHostFromXaml. Then, the wrapper class's default implementation of PFN_CREATE_CONTROL calls GetXamlSource to provide the correct XAML file to parse and load.

Step 5: Add the Custom User Control to the Visual Tree

If you want to reuse the custom user control from C++ code in Silverlight applications, add an instance of the custom user control to the visual tree at run time in C++. Do this after you have prepared the Silverlight visual tree, which is described in Step 4 in Create a Silverlight for Windows Embedded Application.

To create a custom user-control instance and add it to the visual tree

Initialize an object variable using the class type of the custom user control.
```
ICustomCtrl* pControl = NULL;
```
Call IXRApplication::CreateObject to convert the class you registered with the Register method into an object and to return a reference to the new object.
```
pApplication->CreateObject(__uuidof(CustomCtrl), &pControl);
```
(Optional) To locate this object by Name after you add it to the visual tree, call IXRDependencyObject::SetName.

Define the new object instance by using its methods.

XRThickness Margin = {25, 25, 100, 200};
pControl->SetMargin(&Margin);
pControl->SetCustomPropValue(100);
pControl->SetName(L"ControlInstance1");

Attach delegates to the object so it can respond to events.
Obtain an IXRFrameworkElement smart pointer to the root of the visual tree. The custom user control will be integrated with the layout system in Silverlight and displayed in the graphical window. When you use a smart pointer, you don’t have to call Release when you are done with it.
```
IXRFrameworkElementPtr pRoot;
pVisualHost->GetRootElement(&pRoot);
```
Locate the name of the panel element on which UI elements are positioned, such as an IXRPanel-derived object.
Find the element in the tree. On the root element, call IXRFrameworkElement::FindName, passing in the desired panel element's name, and an object pointer to reference the panel.
```
IXRCanvasPtr pCanvas;
pRoot->FindName(L"MainCanvas", &pCanvas);
```
Retrieve the panel's IXRUIElementCollection collection by calling IXRPanel::GetChildren.
```
IXRUIElementCollection* pCollection;
pCanvas->GetChildren(&pCollection);
```
Add the custom user control instance to the collection by calling the collection's inherited method IXRCollection<In_T, Out_T>::Add.
```
pCollection->Add(&pControl, NULL);
```

To retrieve a custom user control instance from the visual tree

Obtain an IXRFrameworkElement smart pointer to the root of the visual tree. When you use a smart pointer, you don’t have to call Release when you are done with it.
```
IXRFrameworkElementPtr pRoot;
pVisualHost->GetRootElement(&pRoot);
```
Initialize an object variable using the class type of the custom user control.
```
CustomCtrl* pControl;
```
Find the control in the tree. On the root element, call IXRFrameworkElement::FindName, passing in the desired control's name and an object variable to receive the pointer.
```
pRoot->FindName(L"ControlInstance1", &pControl);
```

Execute functionality of the custom user control or change its property values by using the object pointer to call methods implemented control class.

// retrive a control template from a list box
IXRControlTemplatePtr pListBoxControlTemplate);
pListBox->GetTemplate(&pListBoxControlTemplate);

// set this as the control template for the user control
pControl->SetTemplate(&pListBoxControlTemplate);

Step 6: Build the Application and Your OS Design

In Solution Explorer, expand Subprojects, right-click the subproject you created, and click Build (build).

The build progress is displayed in the Output tab of the Output window.
