Hello I am trying to add a new button to the right of the minimize button and would like to know the best way to go about doing this. Should I do this within the source code you provided on your site? If so, how? When I try to do it in VS 2010 or Elements it will not allow me to view the xaml and the Elements Stach panel looks like the right place, but a.) I want the button to look like what you already have and b.) when I try to just copy the ElementsMin button, it is not there after compiling. Any help would be appreciated!?

Also, if there is already a way to do this in the currect code thats cool too.

Thanks in advance,

Gregg

Any one at all? Can anyone at least point me in the right direction?? Dan??

Hi,

This not possible in the current implementation.  It can be done by changing the source code though.  Simply copy an existing button such as ElementMin, search for this property in the DialogBase class and duplicate there.  The OnApplyTemplate() method is where the button will be retrieved from the XAML.  Also ensure you have duplicated it in themes/generic.xaml too.

Using this method you can create custom buttons.

Thanks!

Ok... so I have the button set up and viewable, but I would like to make the event accessible via the main project. sort of like you have for Restoring... or minimized... I can seem to see where you have done this or how I can apply it to my implementation.

Thanks,

Hi,

In DialogBase create yor own event for your custom button click and simply raise it when clicked.

public event DialogEventHandler MyButtonClickEvent;

if (MyButtonClickEvent != null)

{

    MyButtonClickEvent(sender, args);

}

You then attach to this event from your main program.  There are plenty of articles out there explaining how to setup custom events that you may want to refer to.

Thanks!
