Time to shoot feature requests

  • Artigo

WPF is shaping up to be a really nice crisp product and this wouldnt have been possible without the help of YOU - our customers.

The editing team is now planning for future releases and it would be nice to know what features you would like to see in the next release. Even if its not connected to editing buzz them in and we will make sure you are heard :) ... Send your requests as comments or just shoot an email...

Keep them coming.. We are listening...

    I've got loads:

    Calendars: date picker, time picker, month picker. With nullable support.

    NumericUpDown/Spinner.

    Masked text input.

    DataGrids. And less hand-coding ListViews for common tasks like sorting and check marks.

    Vista task dialog and wizard support.

    More media support (audio & video from streams, feedback for things like audio visualizations).

    Open up the spelling & hypenation API. Allow exceptions to be defined by the user (like earlier versions did).

    Proper font dialog (i.e., one that DOESN'T skip CFF OpenType fonts like WinForms does), augmented with OpenType feature selection.

    Faux small caps for fonts that don't have OpenType small caps. (Like Word and IE do, but better.) Should probably be extended to all caps and all lower case.

    Tear-off and docking toolbars with user customization support (à la Office and Visual Studio).

    More built-in ValidationRules.

    PdfDocumentWriter next to XpsDocumentWriter. Dito for document serialization.

    Loose XAML with scripting support.

    Control over sub-pixel ClearType vs. gray scale anti-aliassing (for generating, say, bitmaps).

    I am not sure if this can be treated as a feature request, but it will be very good (at least for me) if you make more editbox-related classes public (TextEditor class for example).

    copied from reply on WPF forum by Wildert Well if your taking suggestions for RichTextBox improvements, there are some very nifty collections that Word uses through VBA, like a collection of Words, Lines, Charactors, Pages, etc. Providing a RichTextBox that has those collections would be HANDY. Thanks

    a more glitchfree experience! i have some rectangles with different colors in an horizontally oriented stackpanel and scale the width of the left rectangle in order to get a background movement for my application but unfortunately I can see a small gap between the rectangles where the background is shining through sometimes which doesn't look nice!

    WPF PropertyGrid!

  • Anonymous
    October 17, 2006
    MS are pitching Orcas against DreamWeaver and that's fine by me yet I fear MS underestimates the complexity of WPF vs. something like Flex. I really can't see designers writing WPF markup - sorry folks -it's just too complex (have just read Charles P's chapter on styles) just as I can't see developers wanting to step out of writing C#. What would have been wrong with a VB6 style approach of: With...  set property 1  set property 2 End With? Which brings me to the point of my rant - short of the afore, developers are going to have to have something like a PropertyGrid in their apps to allow designers and end users to customise WPF, and yet the control is MISSING!

    Take into account (XAML-wise) the user (role) in order to profile visibility, accessibility, editability, readability of elements.
