Strong naming

MahApps will no longer be strong-named beginning with this version. #3029

Why?

Strong-named assemblies are only useful in some rare scenarios. If you need strong-named assembly then you can compile the source by yourself ore use the Strong Namer from Daniel Plaisted @dsplaisted or Strong-Name Signer from Werner van Deventer @brutaldev.

More informations about the reason of this decision can be found here:

• Still Strong-Naming your Assemblies? You do know it’s 2016, right?
• XAML Behaviors UWP Managed 1.1.0
• Strong-Named Assemblies

23 Dec 2016

Features / Changes / Fixes

• Don’t focus flyout on close #2671 (@ButchersBoy) This hack was introduced with #1805 which was noticed by manual testing.
• Don’t focus the FlyoutsControl
• Fix another TopMost issue: If the window is top most and you switch to another window the top most will be gone.
• Change icon for TimePicker #2700 (@p76984275)
• Icon scaling #2667 (@thoemmi)
  • New property IconScalingMode to MetroWindow. It’s forwarded to MultiFrameImage.MultiFrameImageMode to set the icon scaling.
    • MultiFrameImageMode.ScaleDownLargerFrame
      It takes the smallest frame which from the icon which has equal or larger size as the window’s icon template. The frame is scaled down it’s larger.
      
    • MultiFrameImageMode.NoScaleSmallerFrame
      It takes the largest frame from the window which has equal or smaller size than the window’s icon template. The frame is rendered centered if it’s smaller.
      
• Changes for DateTimePicker and TimePicker #2710
  • Change DateTimePicker.SelectedDate to BindsTwoWayByDefault. The reason is that we do not have to use Mode=TwoWay explicit, and DatePicker.SelectedDate has BindsTwoWayByDefault too.
  • [Fix] Issue where Binding issues on DateTimePicker/TimePicker are shown on the output window
  • [Fix] Issue where Hour 0 is not shown when using 24h clock
  • Fix issue where clearing text does not immediately set value to null but 00:00:00 and 0001.01.01 00.00.00 respectively
  • Change icon for TimePicker #2700 (@p76984275)
  • Hide DateTimePicker and TimePicker on lost focus. Fix also Shift+Tab focus moving.
• New SplitView and HamburgerMenu control #2704
  • The SplitView source comes from the UniversalWPF GitHub repo (from @dotMorten) with some changes from @Evangelink and @punker76.
  • The HamburgerMenu source comes from the UWPCommunityToolkit GitHub repo.
    
• New dependency properties for MetroWindow to set the brush and opacity for the overlay if a dialog is shown.
  • OverlayBrush sets the brush used for the dialog overlay.
  • OverlayOpacity sets the opacity used for the dialog overlay (0 = disabled, 1 = full overlay).
• The TextBox’s with the styles MetroButtonTextBox and SearchMetroTextBox can now use the button also if IsReadOnly="True" (only if the button command is set)
• New AutoWatermark attached property at TextBoxHelper #2722 (@xxMUROxx) which is able to get the DisplayAttribute from the bound property in following cases:
  • Binding that is supported
    • "{Binding Path=Property}"
    • "{Binding Path=Property.SubProperty}"
    • "{Binding Path=CollectionProperty}"
    • "{Binding Path=CollectionProperty[0].SubProperty}"
  • Binding that is not supported
    • "{Binding Path=CollectionProperty[0]}"
  • This property is available for TextBox, ComboBox, NumericUpDown, DatePicker, TimePicker and DateTimePicker
• Flyout changes for better Margin usage
  • This changes affects only users who used the sample from the source which shows how to use the FlyoutsControl actual width and a Margin for the Flyout
  • It’s now possible to work without the actual width and use only the Margin or HorizontalContentAlignemnt for Left/Right and VerticalContentAnlignment for Top/Bottom Flyout.
    • Margin="200 30 0 0" and Position="Right" Flyout with left an top Margin
    • HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" and Position="Right" Flyout which covers the whole window
• Changed style names (and changes, see #2767) for
  • Default Button (ButtonBase) -> MahApps.Metro.Styles.MetroButton
  • Default ToggleButton -> MahApps.Metro.Styles.MetroToggleButton
• Fixed Expander closing animation and make it possible to change both animations (expand and collapse). #2769 (@ Alkalinee)
• Updated TabControl and TabItem style for VS #2768
  • Handle TabStripPlacement
  • Default close button action (no closing event yet)
• TextBox ContextMenu changes #2772, #2758 by @Deadpikle
  • If you want to use the default context menu items cut, copy and paste you must do nothing
  • If you want to use your own context menu items without the default items you must do this ```xaml

    + If you want to use your own context menu items with the spell checker items then you must do this
    ```xaml
    <TextBox Margin="{StaticResource ControlMargin}"
            Controls:TextBoxHelper.IsSpellCheckContextMenuEnabled="True"
            Text="Enabled">
        <TextBox.ContextMenu>
            <ContextMenu>
                <MenuItem Header="This is only a Test-Item" />
            </ContextMenu>
        </TextBox.ContextMenu>
    </TextBox>
  

  • If you want to use your own context menu items with the deafult items then you must do this ```xaml

  ```

• CustomDialog improvements #2775
  • New overloaded generic method ShowMetroDialogAsync to create and show custom dialogs (self created dialogs which are inherited from CustomDialog) ```csharp // create and show a new custom dialog of the given type with the default dialog settings var customBaseMetroDialog = await this.ShowMetroDialogAsync();

  // create and show a new custom dialog of the given type with own settings var customBaseMetroDialog = await this.ShowMetroDialogAsync(this.metroDialogSettings);

    + Better handling for dialogs settings also with the already available `ShowMetroDialogAsync` method
    ```csharp
    // create and show custom dialog with default settings
    await this.ShowMetroDialogAsync(new CustomBaseMetroDialog());
  
    // create and show custom dialog with own settings
    await this.ShowMetroDialogAsync(new CustomBaseMetroDialog(this.metroDialogSettings));
    // or
    await this.ShowMetroDialogAsync(new CustomBaseMetroDialog(this, this.metroDialogSettings));
  

  • It’s now also possible to configure the dialog settings at the custom dialogs class itself.

      protected override MetroDialogSettings ConfigureSettings(MetroDialogSettings settings)
      {
      return new MyCustomDialogSettings();
      }
    

  • Here is the source for the given samples ```xaml
  Close

  
    ```csharp
    namespace ShowMetroDialogAsyncIssue
    {
        using System.Windows;
        using MahApps.Metro.Controls;
        using MahApps.Metro.Controls.Dialogs;
  
        public partial class CustomBaseMetroDialog : CustomDialog
        {
            public CustomBaseMetroDialog()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
  
            public CustomBaseMetroDialog(MetroDialogSettings settings) : base(settings)
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
  
            public CustomBaseMetroDialog(MetroWindow parentWindow, MetroDialogSettings settings) : base(parentWindow, settings)
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
  
            private void Close_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            {
                (this.OwningWindow ?? (MetroWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).HideMetroDialogAsync(this);
            }
        }
    }

Version 1.0.0 released

02 Dec 2014

Notes

This is the first stable release of MahApps.Metro.

We removed everything marked as obsolete and made some API changes, but from now on MahApps.Metro follows Semantic Versioning, at least API wise. Please note that minor visual changes can still occur if there’s a need for them.

A migration guide for the breaking changes is available here: https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/blob/master/docs/v1.0-Migration-Guide.md

Features

• Added a StatusBar and StatusBarItem style #1558
• Added the TitleVisibility and CloseButtonVisibility properties to the flyouts to control the visibility of the header.
• Added the ButtonHelper.PreserveTextCase attached property to control the automatic upper and lower casing of certain buttons. #1622
• If an .ico file contains multiple icon sizes, MetroWindow now automatically selects the optimal icon size. #1242 #1628
• ShowMetroDialogAsync now accepts MetroDialogSettings as argument so custom dialogs derived from the CustomDialog class can have a fade-in and fade-out animation
• The ToggleSwitch control can now be dragged with the mouse to change the enabled state #1652 #1595
• The CleanWindow’s close button now has a red background when hovering with the mouse.

Version 0.14.0 released

19 Aug 2014

Notes

We’re nearly ready to release version 1.0 of MahApps.Metro, so this may be the last unstable release.

There are no known breaking changes in this release, but we had to deprecate some things, particularly around the titlebar overlay behavior.

Please note that everything that is know deprecated will be removed in the 1.0 release, so you should prepare your applications soon.

Since we’re following semantic versioning, we promise to not break anything from version 1.0 to 2.0.

Features

MetroWindow now indicates whether it’s active or not

The MetroWindow now has the NonActiveWindowTitleBrush property that sets the window brush for an inactive window.

See PR #1320

Fine grained control over the titlebar element overlay behavior

The overlay behavior of the elements of the window titlebar can now be controlled individually.

There are is now an enum with four values:

• Never
• OverlayFlyout
• OverlayHiddenTitleBar
• Always

For more info, see PR #1427.

Underlined TabControl

Added the attached property ControlsHelper.IsUnderlined="True" for the TabControl control that adds an underline.

See PR #1425 for reference.

Custom ScrollBar width and height

The default ScrollBar width and height can now be set manually.

See PR #1387for more infos.

Direct FlatButton style

Previously you had to include the FlatButton resource dictionary to add a FlatButton. Now you can just set it at style of a button.

MetroWindow icon EdgeMode

It is now possible to set the EdgeMode of the window icon.

Changes

• The DropDownButton now works less like a SplitButton #1442 #1459
• Made a disabled Textbox, RichTextbox and PasswordBox a bit more visible #1410 #1420

• The .NET 4.5 assembly in the previous release wasn’t signed

Version 0.13.0 released

10 Apr 2014

Notes

The 0.13 release of MahApps.Metro marks a very important change in the MetroWindow infrastructure along with several other fixes and improvements.

We’ve also updated the MahApps.Metro.Resources NuGet package with the latest icons.

Features

Custom themes

MahApps.Metro now allows to define custom themes for the application. We’ve rewritten the ThemeManager for this (don’t worry, your old code should still work, but most old methods are now marked as Obsolete)

To add a theme, use the new AddAppTheme theme method.

Completely rewritten BorderlessWindowBehavior

The BorderlessWindowBehavior has been completely rewritten, to fix a number of issues that have accumulated over time.

For a complete list of fixes, see PR #1156

Auto-closing flyouts

Flyouts now have an option to be automatically closed when the user clicks outside of the flyout. We renamed the property IsPinnable (that had no use) to IsPinned for this. IsPinned is true by default and, if set to false, enables the auto-closing feature.

RangeSlider

The RangeSlider control has been completely rewritten because it was unusably broken before.

See PR #1055 for more info.

Titlebar enhancements

• The titlebar now supports vector icons
• Added LeftWindowCommands This means that the normal WindowCommands property is now obsolete and is called RightWindowCommands
• The minimize/maximize/close button can now be styled

New website URL

27 Mar 2014

From now on, the Mahapps.Metro documentation site lives at mahapps.com, instead of https://mahapps.com/MahApps.Metro

This means less typing for everyone!

The old links should still work and redirect to the top level domain.

Version 0.12.1 released

01 Feb 2014

Notes

This is a bugfix release. It will most likely be the only bugfix release till v0.13.

Fixes

• Fixed various bugs with the themed Flyouts (#947 #949):
  • A dark Flyout doesn’t have dark window commands anymore
  • Only the topmost Flyout changes the WindowCommands, if it is closed, the WindowCommands adapt to the underlying Flyout
  • Theme changes are respected properly
• Flyouts respect the template margin #867 #974
• Fixed an OverflowException in the CleanWindowStyle #897 #903
• Fixed various bugs for the NumericUpDown control: #952 #953
  • Fix for NumericUpDown exception raised when trying to enter a number in scientific notation
  • Fixed a problem with too early speedup
• Improved the performance for theme changes, they should now work instantly.
• Fixed an issue with the WindowCommands of a CleanWindow, they were white and therefore invisible when a BorderlessWindowBehavior was attached.

Version 0.12.0 released

16 Jan 2014

Notes

After only 2 months and nearly 300 commits, this is one of the feature-richest releases we’ve ever done.

This release, again, contains some breaking changes. We try to break things now rather than later, when we release version 1.0 (which is hopefully soon).

A quick overview:

• ProgressIndicator is now removed, as it wasn’t working as expected. Use MetroProgressBar with IsIndeterminate = True instead, which should give a much smoother experience.
• Like ProgressIndicator, MetroImage has been removed because it was broken. A better alternative is to use a simple Rectangle, as described here
• For the same reasons, the Panorama control has been removed. While we have no drop-in replacement for this control, if you really want it back, you can always submit a pull request with a better Panorama, but beware, it most likely needs a serious rewrite.

Upcoming changes:

• The RangeSlider control is currently being rewritten, so expect some breaking changes here.

Features

Dialog system

The dialog system has been overhauled for better extensibility.

The SimpleDialog class now allows to create a custom dialog.

ProgressDialog is a dialog that displays progress (duh!) inspired by Github for Windows. InputDialog works like the MessageDialog but allows the user to input text.

For reference, see PR #785 , #860 and #901 .

Modal Flyouts

Just like modal dialogs, Flyouts can now be made modal by setting the IsModal = true. Thanks @grokys for this feature!

For reference, see PR #824

Themed Flyouts

A Flyout can now have a theme, just like MetroWindow

There are four different theme states, indicated by the FlyoutTheme enum:

• FlyoutTheme.Adapt: The flyout will use the theme if the host window
• FlyoutTheme.Inverse: The flyout will use the inverse theme of the host window
• FlyoutTheme.Dark: Always dark. This is the default value
• FlyoutTheme.Light: Always use the light theme
• FlyoutTheme.Accent: Instead of the dark/light theme, use the accent of the host window

This behavior can be set through the Theme property

For reference, see PR #941

Expander

Added new Expander control that can can be used to close/open for example a GroupBox Thanks @Icehunter for this feature!

For reference, see PR #834

NumericUpDown

Implemented a NumericUpDown control, inspired by the Callisto style. Thanks @xxMUROxx for this feature!

Version 0.11.0 released

23 Nov 2013

Notes

Warning: This release has a few breaking changes. A quick overview:

• ‘Colours’ -> ‘Colors’ For consistency, we’ve chosen to rename all occurendes of ‘Colours’ to ‘Colors’
• The ‘TransitioningContentControl’ use now an enumeration for ‘Transition’

More details here: https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/wiki/Breaking-Changes-or-WTF-is-happening-with-the-ALPHA-version

Other things:

• You can now put all the resource dictionaries in your ‘App.xaml’ file
• ProgressIndicator is marked as ‘Obsolete’. In future, use ‘MetroProgressbar’ with ‘Indeterminate’ set to ‘true’
• Like the ProgressIndicator, the Panorama will be removed in future versions. There is a chance that it will be rewritten and reintroduced later on.
• TextBox, PasswordBox, ComboBox and DatePicker use now the Validation.ErrorTemplate for displaying errors. The default template is ValidationErrorTemplate.
• The Demo application has been completely rewritten.
