This article reviews a custom WPF panel, named Panel3D, which hosts two-dimensional elements in three-dimensional space. You can supply an instance of Panel3D with objects to display, or you can use it as the items host of an ItemsControl. If you use Panel3D as the items host of a ListBox, the front-most item is automatically the selected item in the ListBox. Panel3D arranges its 3D models along a straight path, and provides animated movement of 3D models along that path. In addition, the panel ...

Such as the new 3D elements that are available to WPF developers in .NET 3.5. This article will discuss the use of some of these new 3D related elements that are now in .NET 3.5. In order to demonstrate some (yeah I dont use all of the new elements in the attached demo app) I picked something simple. I decided to have a bunch of 3D meshe...

I'm working on a dialog to display a type of chart. If there are a lot of data points, the display will become dense, and the user will want to zoom in for a closer look. To support this I need an owner-draw child control with a virtual space, viewport and scrollbars -- like a CWnd equivalent of CScrollView. I figured I could easily find such a thing, or whip one up using scroll functions of CWnd. Days pass. I didn't find one. I now have a solution which is simple but took some work, so I though...

When the buzz surrounding Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) began circulating throughout the Adobe Flash community, my initial reaction was one of skepticism. That Microsoft had introduced a competing technology led many Flash developers, including myself, to lash out against the company in support of our beloved platform. Then I received an e-mail message saying that Microsoft was sending a technical evangelist to the frog design studio in San Francisco to demo Windows® Presentation Foundat...

Among the classes that contribute to the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation, those in the System.Windows.Media.Media3D namespace stand out. These are the classes that are intended to bring three-dimensional graphics to mainstream Windows® applications. As with the Windows Presentation Foundation 2D graphics, 3D graphics are often most conveniently accessed in Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), but there the similarities pretty much end. 3D graphics programming involves signifi...

Programmers can get access to the actual outlines that define each text character and treat them as vector graphics objects. The outlines can be stroked, filled, used for clipping, or subjected to transforms. A popular feature in Microsoft® Word known as WordArt is based on this concept....
