The code is incomplete, ans cannot be used for trial/Testing, so it is pointless #1132

Open chopperaddict opened 3 years ago

chopperaddict commented 3 years ago

code missing

<RepeatButton Style="{StaticResource MenuScrollButton}"

MenuScrollButton cannot be found .....

Another one 👍 Data="{StaticResource DownArrow}" /> Same error.

So the example is totally unusable for learning how to at least to understand, or at least get thru this nightmare just to style a menu item...

I'll work on adding all the details. I'll just regenerate and paste in the XAML. You can do this yourself by generating a copy of any control's template in Visual Studio through the Document Outline pane. Right-click on the control you want to generate a template for, and then choose create a copy:

Thanks for the response, but I did already know that..... I wanted a really full blooded example, so though your documentation would be the place to go. But it didn't work.

I think your docs want updating to at least provide valid code if you make it available for copying??

Best Regards

I suspect all of these WPF .NET Framework reference articles are out of date with all the details. They were written like 10 years ago. Right now our efforts are on porting a lot of this content to .NET 5 in the .NET documentation area. However, since you filed this bug, I'll paste in the latest generated XAML and get the article updated.

Also, note that these articles don't change aspects of the template, they just show you what the template looks like. You don't get any added benefit copying these "examples." These articles aren't true examples and they don't change the template, they're more reference material. You're better off using the generate template feature of Visual Studio. You'll get the most up-to-date template that way.

We have a generic article that shows you how to change templates, but it doesn't go into detail on all controls: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/controls/how-to-create-apply-template?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8

All understood Any, and agreed with, but when you are trying to learn this stuff, it often takes loads of "working" examples until the penny drop - for me at least that is very true !!!!

Cheers :-)) Best Regards
