UToolKit

Library that contains useful tools for WPF application.
It is recommended to use this library with Fody.PropertyChanged.

Release notes:

  • Added resource dictionary that contains all converters from current package. To use it check examples below.

Main features:

  • ObservableObject (INotifyPropertyChanged implementation)
  • IRefreshableCommand (inherits ICommand, allows to call ICommand.CanExecuteChanged manually)
  • RelayCommand (IRefreshableCommand implementation)
  • RelayAsyncCommand (IRefreshableCommand async implementation)
  • RelaySingleTaskAsyncCommand (IRefreshableCommand async implementation, designed for single task execution)

Converters:

  • InverseBooleanConverter
  • BooleanToVisibilityConverter
  • BooleanToHiddenVisibilityConverter
  • InverseBooleanToHiddenVisibilityConverter
  • InverseBooleanToVisibilityConverter

Extensions:

  • ControlExtensions
    • FousMode - focus mode for Control. There is two modes: Default and FocusOnLoad.
  • HyperlinkExtensions
    • IsExternal - if true Hyperlink will execute Process.Start using Hyperlink.NavigateUri after click.
  • WindowExtensions
    • CloseCommand - command which executes on windows closing. If ICommand.CanExecute() returns false - window closing will be cancalled.
    • CloseCommandParameter - parameter for CloseCommand.
    • PlacementStorageStrategy - window placement storage strategy. There are 2 different implemented strategies, RegistryStorage and SettingsStorage. It is possible to implement custom strategy using IWindowPlacementStorage.
  • RoutedCommand bindings - allows to bind ICommand to RoutedCommand.

Services:

  • IWindowService - (implementation: WindowService)
    • IsActive - indicates whether the window is active.
    • IsVisible - indicates whether the window is visible.
    • Activate() - attempts to brind the window to the foreground and activates it.
    • Close() - closes window.
    • Close(bool dialogResult) - closes window with specified dialog result.
    • Hide() - hides window.
    • Show() - shows window.
  • ITextBoxService - (implementation: TextBoxService)
    • event TextChanged - informs that the text has changed.
    • event SelectionChanged - informs that the selection has changed.
    • Text - allows to get or set text to TextBox (will not break bindings).
    • CaretIndex - gets current caret index.
    • SelectionLength - gets selected text length.
    • SelectedText - gets or sets selected text in text box (will not break bindings).
    • Select(int start, int length) - selects a range of text in text box.
    • SelectAll() - selects all text in text box.
  • IPasswordSupplier - (implementation: PasswordSupplier)
    • event PasswordChanged - occurs when the password of the PasswordBox changes.
    • Password - allows to get or set password from/to PasswordBox.
    • SecurePassword - gets secure password from PasswordBox.
    • Clear() - clears all password.

Getting started.

First you need to include namespace to your code or markup.

For XAML it can look like:

<Window xmlns:tk="https://github.com/nullsoftware/UToolKit" />

And for C#:

using NullSoftware;
using NullSoftware.Services;
using NullSoftware.ToolKit;
using NullSoftware.ToolKit.Converters;
using NullSoftware.ToolKit.Extensions;

Examples:

To use converters just add MergedDictionary with source pack://application:,,,/UToolKit;component/ToolKit/Converters.xaml in your App.xaml:

<Application
    x:Class="ExampleProject.App"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ExampleProject"
    StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/UToolKit;component/ToolKit/Converters.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

How to set PlacementStorageStrategy:

<Window xmlns:tk="https://github.com/nullsoftware/UToolKit" 
        xmlns:prop="clr-namespace:ExampleProject.Properties"
        tk:WindowExtensions.PlacementStorageStrategy="{tk:RegistryStorage NameFormat=Placement, Hive=CurrentUser, Key='SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyApp'}" />

or

<Window xmlns:tk="https://github.com/nullsoftware/UToolKit" 
        xmlns:prop="clr-namespace:ExampleProject.Properties"
        tk:WindowExtensions.PlacementStorageStrategy="{tk:SettingsStorage Settings={x:Static prop:Settings.Default}}" />

How to use RoutedCommandHandlers:

<Window xmlns:tk="https://github.com/nullsoftware/UToolKit">
    <tk:RoutedCommandHandlers.Commands>
        <tk:RoutedCommandHandler RoutedCommand="ApplicationCommands.Create" Command="{Binding CreateCommand}"/>
        <tk:RoutedCommandHandler RoutedCommand="ApplicationCommands.Open" Command="{Binding OpenCommand}"/>
    </tk:RoutedCommandHandlers.Commands>
    
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        
        <Menu Grid.Row="0">
            <MenuItem Header="_File">
                <MenuItem Header="_New" Command="ApplicationCommands.Create" />
                <MenuItem Header="_Open" Command="ApplicationCommands.Open" />
            </MenuItem>
        </Menu>
    </Grid>
</Window>
