  • Silverlight 3 Decision

    Silverlight team, I know this may not be the best place for this post, but I can't find a forum about the future of silverlight (I recommend adding one).  I am in a tough situation where I need to choose Silverlight/WPF vs Adobe Flex.  I am working on a sophisticated video production tool and player.  The production ...
  • Re: Where do we post suggestions for Silverlight

    I filled it out.  Wasn't able to input my email in case they are interested in speaking further. So there is no forum for our Silverlight wishes?
  • Where do we post suggestions for Silverlight

    I would like to give some feature requests and feedback to the Silverlight team but cannot find a forum for it.  Where is the best place for that?
  • Re: MediaTimeline?

    Yeah I REALLY wish it had it.  I ended up doing a cheap system using timer ticks and all.  Also, I wish timelines had an event that fired when then begin, as now they only have a Completed event.  That was possible in WPF.  I've found that many things are difficult in Silverlight than WPF, since much more of it is ...
  • Timeline Start Notification

    I am putting sub-titles over a video.  It was simple to implement in WPF.  All I did was create a custom Timeline class that changes the text over the video.  I had one Storyboard that contained all the "SubTitleTimeline" objects.  Anyway I am trying to do the same in Silverlight.  Dead end. I was ...
  • Re: Why is GetTemplateChild not public?

    Perhapt your argument of control contract between code and template is too idealistic?  For real-world development, this level of control is something developers will need.  HTML, WPF, and WinForms all give public access to descendant controls, so it's something we expect.  Why can't Silverlight do it? In WPF they ...
  • Why is GetTemplateChild not public?

      Dear Silverlight, It is a very common scenario to need to hook to an event of a child control.  For example, I'd like to hook up to the DragStarted event in a Slider.  That is not easy to accomplish in 2.0 beta 1.  The Thumb I want has a reserved name of "HorizontalThumbElement".  Unfortunately, FindName ...

  • Re: ToggleButton as Slider Thumb

    I was able to acheive a solution pretty easily.  If anyone is interested I can post the code.  Otherwise I won't waste my time
  • ToggleButton as Slider Thumb

    I'm creating a simple audio player in Silverlight 2 beta 1.  I am using a slider to let the user skip around the track.  That was easy to accomplish.  But now, I want to make the thumb part of the slider to be a button that toggles between the "play" and "pause" symbols.  This is a UI that is common ...
