WPF Book control

  • Bài viết

[Update: WPFBookControl now available on codeplex: https://www.codeplex.com/wpfbookcontrol ]

After a long time of work on my free time here is finally a first version of the flip page demo (https://blogs.msdn.com/mitsu/archive/2006/11/05/flip-page-demo-using-wpf.aspx).

I have created a WPF control so every one can use it easilly. It's an ItemsControl. You can add any kind of items to the 'Items' collection (using code or markup) or connect a collection to the 'ItemsSource' property.

 <controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400">
  <local:UCCube />
  <local:UCControls />
  <local:UCClippingTransparency />
  <local:UCClippingTransparency />
  <local:UCClipping />
  <local:UCClipping />
  <local:UCTriggers />
  <local:UCFixedDocument />
  <local:UCDataBindingTransformation />
  <local:UCXaml />
  <local:UCAbout />
</controls:Book>

Each item will be placed in a new page inside the control. You can also define an ItemTemplate if you want to customize a page border for example.

 <controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400">
  <controls:Book.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
      <Border BorderThickness="4" BorderBrush="Gray" Background="Transparent">
        <ContentControl Content="{Binding .}" />
      </Border>
    </DataTemplate>
  </controls:Book.ItemTemplate>
...
</controls:Book>

The source code contains a demo application with a large video file (32Mb). You can find attached to this post 3 zip files:

  • binaries only without the video file
  • binaries + video file
  • source code + binaries + video file (largest one)
  • source code + binaries without video file

[Update: WPFBookControl now available on codeplex: https://www.codeplex.com/wpfbookcontrol ]

You can have a video preview of this control in this post of my friend Benjamin.

    Thank you Mete, Using markup, you can add any control inside the Book definition: <Book> <AnyControl/> </Book>. Could you be more accurate for question 2 ? In my sample, the Book control is already contained in a separated dll so you can just reference it from VS or Blend. Mitsu. You can answer me by email if you want.

    Can your next and previous buttons animate a flip instead of just switching pages?  I like the animation, but would like to implement a simple version of it when the Next button is clicked.

    Page flip doesn't work when bound to an ObservableCollection of objects that contains an InkCanvas.  The Ink from 1 even page carries through to all even pages. Same with odd pages.

    Hi Brian, I am affraid the InkCanvas does not support rotation. I have the same pb with the Frame control if you want to display html content. For the automatic animation when clicking the Next/Previous buttons, I thought about it. It not very hard but if I make a direct animation between the two opposite corners it's not very nice because no rotation. It would be nice to have an more complex path make the animation more realistic. I will try to do that when having some time. Mitsu

    No you can't, The page content must be a full WPF content supporting rotation and clipping. If any control includes a win32 surface (IE, swf), it will appear in the page but won't turn during the animation.

    Hello Mitsu, It's a great piece of control! Thanks for creating it!! I didn't know that I had to click on bottom of the page and then move it for the page to be flipped, I apologize for my last post. Now I have the same question as Brian, can you implement an animation for the Next button? So that the animation happens automatically? And why not add a page delete effect, where the page can be removed from the book. Kindly give some pointers on it as I'm fairly new to WPF. Thanks. Best Regards, Hitesh

    Your control is great. I'm using it to develop a print preview app. Right now I'm stumbling into a problem i.e. here we have requirement that different pages could be of different colors. To acheive this I have created a custom control which displays a single page as a transperant bitmap image inside a border. I'm adding this control as Book item. Since I want different colors for the borders background, I defined PrintContext class which presently contains a single color property. I asssign this to DataContext property of Book's parent that is a use control. I change this context's color property thru a Combobox selection change event. Now I a wrote code in code-behind to bind my custom control's border's background property to the above datacontext defined in its ancestor. AcrobatPage page = new AcrobatPage() Binding binding = new Binding("UniversalBackground"); binding.Mode = BindingMode.OneWay; page.SetBinding(BackgroundProperty, binding); but it is not working. Could u please guide me in this. Thanks -Obaid

  • Anonymous

    Hi Obaid, I assume that the source of the binding object is a PrintContext object. Is your BackgroundProperty a dependency property ? Do you have an exception or nothing appears ? Is the first time binding working ?

    Mitsu, Excellent control.  I'm using it in a Silverlight application that allows users to create a photo album with text and pictures that the user can freely place move, rotate and size (I can provide a link when it's ready).  I do have one question.  How do I reference the Canvas control of the pages being displayed (both of them)?  I need to save the changes that the user makes at some point like when the pageturn event occurs.  Currently I allow them to make changes in a static Canvas and then display them in the book control to view the album.  It would be great if they could stay in the "book" mode all of the time. Thanks Tom

    Hi Tom, If your canvas belongs to the databound collection (a collection of visuals) then you can retrieve inside the collection using the page index. If your canvas is defined in a resource or template, you must use the VisualTreeHelper to retrieve it in the control tree. No other way. Mitsu

Basically a SLBookDemoApp with the functionality of BookDemoApp. I am trying to use your presentation application as a Canvas and instatiate other Silverlight Pages on the Web. My issue is:

  • The BookDemo Solution does not allow me to instantiate Silverlight Controls on the Pages(Blacklight for Example).
  • The SLBookDemo Solution is not designed to support  User Controls. I am new to Silverlight, any directions would be appreciated ! Awesome work by the way ! Ricardo Perdigao

    Look at the demo app !! :) 1- add a reference to the library containing the control. 2- In your xaml file, now add an xml namespace prefix targeting this library (like in the demo app). 3- now you can add the BookControl using the prefix.

    Hi Mitsu.. Great control you have there.. I wonder if it can support RenderTransform? I am doing a Windows 7 Multitouch Application based on your control. After implementing, I should be suppose to rotate, translate and enlarge your book control. However I run into some problem.. Can you help me with it? The error in the Windows1.Xaml Cannot set Name attribute value '_rotate' on element 'RotateTransform'. 'RotateTransform' is under the scope of element 'Book', which already had a name registered when it was defined in another scope. That portion of code of the book control in the Windows1.Xaml is below <controls:Book x:Name="myBook" Width="600" Height="400" Margin="25">                    <controls:Book.RenderTransform>                        <TransformGroup>                            <RotateTransform x:Name="_rotate" Angle="0"></RotateTransform>                            <ScaleTransform x:Name="_rotate" ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1"></ScaleTransform>                            <TranslateTransform x:Name="_rotate" X="0" Y="0"></TranslateTransform>                        </TransformGroup>                    </controls:Book.RenderTransform>                    <controls:Book.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Border BorderThickness="4" BorderBrush="Gray" Background="Transparent"> <ContentControl Content="{Binding .}" /> </Border> </DataTemplate> </controls:Book.ItemTemplate> <local:UCCube /> <local:UCControls /> <local:UCClippingTransparency /> <local:UCClippingTransparency /> <local:UCClipping /> <local:UCClipping /> <local:UCTriggers /> <local:UCFixedDocument /> <local:UCDataBindingTransformation /> <local:UCXaml /> <local:UCAbout /> <local:UCTheEnd /> </controls:Book>

    Hi Cheng, Did you try to put it in another parent (a border for example) and then play with the border transformations. If you are implementing multitouch in a generic way (like surface Api), maybe you should better do it in a separated control. Regards, Mitsu

    Hi Mitsu.. Excellent work.  How can i resize the page programatically by avoiding the ViewBox. I removed the Viewbox and now it is wokring perfect. But if i change the resolution the border automatically expands but the page is not expanding automatically. But if i click on the Next button and previous button once the layout is automatically adjusted to the new Size.

    Mitsu, I am on a project and have used your control with SL3 and have Visifire Charts on each page.  It works great and you have to be praised-  I do have a need that I do not see exposed.  I am putting a row of four buttons outside of the book to change chart types (pages)  It works, but now the client has asked to see page turning on the clicks.  I need to turn one, two, or three pages instead of just left one or right one page.  Can this be done at this time?  Many thanks, Danny

    @Kishore I ran into the same issue you had with resizing.  I'm pretty new to WPF so I am not sure if this is the 'correct' fix but it works. In the BookPage class I connected to the SizeChanged Event as follows.  This sets the clipping rectangle to the new size of the page and avoids having to navigate backwards and forwards to get the resized pages displayed correctly. void BookPage_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)        {            RectangleGeometry rg = (RectangleGeometry)clippingPage0.Geometry1;            rg.Rect = new Rect(e.NewSize);        }
