FlowControl Question

[bbweiners]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to have the wheel show a games name in text rather than using an image, like a clear logo, banner, etc...

Thanks!

You can put any WPF control in the FlowTemplate so yes, using a textbox is entirely possible

Great! Thank you

Could you possibly show me an example? For some reason I'm just not getting it.

Thanks!

Something like this:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type coverFlow:FlowContext}}, Path=DataContext.Title}" />

Just make sure the FlowImage that contains your main image inside of your wheel has a CreateFallbackImage property set to False.

After you set this, you'll have to refresh your cache to remove all previously saved fallback images.

If you're inside the FlowContext can simply do this:
 

<TextBlock Text="{Binding DataContext, Path=Title}"/>

Thanks guys!

I believe the issue that I'm having is that we can't have more than 1 FlowControl Wheel. Is that correct?

Thanks!

Yeah, each view is only made for a single wheel (FlowControl), adding more than one won't work.

Cool. Thanks Christian.
