Vista - Abount inheritance and control...

Hi everybody,

I have some questions:

- How can I do inheritance between Windows? you know, build a common Window
and inherit from it, to have the same pattern.

- What about a control like the 'DateTimePicker' or 'Calendar' ?, if I need
to pink a date. What do you suggest ?

- Do uou know if the current controls, the methods, properties, the general
behavior of the control, will be change when is release it.?

Greetings...

1. Creating a custom class that inherits from a System class just works
the same as plain old .NET:

public MyCustomWindow : Window
{
...
}

Don't be fooled by XAML and all that stuff, this is still OO
programming...

in XAML, you can then use your newly created class:

<local:MyCustomWindow /> where you defined a xmlns (namespace) called
"local" for your project containing the custom class.

Look for samples about creating custom controls for more details.

2. By default, there is no such controls in the WPF framework, you
would need to create one. Probably that component vendors will have
some controls availlable soon... I also heard that it was possible to
use .NET components in WPF app.... But I have no links for your and
never tried myself...

3. Microsoft insists that the API is frozen until release for the WPF
Framework, what you see now is what you should get....
