Is WPF going to die? Why TextBox still has not placeholder/watermark? #4345

Open GF-Huang opened 3 years ago

GF-Huang commented 3 years ago

Such a basic feature, after all these years, has still not been added to WPF.

@GF-Huang Do not do that. This repository is a WPF framework, which is a low-level framework. This repo should only provide a basic framework, not too much business logic and business controls. You can use other professional WPF control libraries to get more customized controls, such as your watermark.

Oh, it turns out that WPF is just an engine, not a car.

First this is a dupe of #1127 and second your statement is not a good argument, as Winforms "recently" (after being open sourced) added this and winforms is older than WPF and Winforms team didn't told everyone to use professional Winforms control libraries. That means its a basic feature and should get supported natively. Again, see #1127

I agree Symbai. After all these years we were being pushed away from winforms. Now we are at WPF and years later the team still doesn't do a thing. We are being pushed to V4 drivers with XPS and are smashing our heads against the walls because of performance issues at enterprises because of XPS(yeah WPF) STA issues. And the team just basically tells us "low priority, not fancy enough for the 18year old tiktok iphone generation". ( #3546 #4000 )

We only see them trying to move us to something else, which is even more broken and alpha/beta/whatever status: MAUI. (see #4650 )

They just don't want to admit this fact and find a decent excuse to fool you. They should rename WPF to WPLF (Windows Presentation Low Level Framework).

@GF-Huang I found this textbox with bindable placeholder. May fit your need.
