I haven't figured out how to make the AppendText(text, color) extension
work right with the WPF version of RichTextBox, but I was able to work
around the issue, and it's not really worth sinking time into.
Notable items include the column show/hide buttons, which were
straightforward except for the "determine the default width" part,
and the font picker, which is no longer a standard dialog. The
latter was complicated by the absence of a good way to detect
whether a font is mono-spaced or not without calling back into code
meant for WinForms font manipulation (with a dash of PInvoke).
Yay WPF.
Also, enabled character ellipsis for code list items.
Now preserving column widths for the three DataGrids and the main
ListView. In theory the various grids would conveniently auto-size
to the content, but in practice that doesn't work well with
virtualization.
There is, of course, no simple "the width has changed" event
provided by the control. On the plus side, you can attach a
property-change event handler to pretty much anything, so once you
know the trick it's possible to make everything work. Yay WPF.
This change pulls in the settings file code, which is mostly
unchanged except when it comes to saving and restoring the window
location and size.
The old system has been replaced with a PInvoke-based version that
calls the underlying Win32 window placement code. This is more
likely to be correct when multiple displays are in use, and can
record the un-maximized size of a maximized window. It leaves a
nasty XML string embedded in the config file, but it's not really
meant to be human-readable anyway.
The sub-window dividers all work completely differently from the way
they did in WinForms, and some of the behavior is a bit obscure
(like noticing when a splitter moves due to keyboard input, and
setting the position in a way that doesn't break the auto-sizing).
Yay WPF.
Still need to preserve column widths.
Wired up the double-click handlers for References, Notes, and
Symbols. These jump to the item at the offset that was double-
clicked. Also hooked up the navigate forward/backward buttons
in the toolbar.
Except for the usual WPF gymnastics required to figure out what you
actually double-clicked on, this went smoothly.
Extract some XAML icons from the VS2017 Image Library. There's no
particular reason to prefer XAML over PNG, but somehow it feels
more forward-compatible. (OTOH, defining images as ControlTemplate
instances is just weird. Yay WPF.)
Restoring the selection works pretty much like it used to, though
I'm capping the total size of the selection because it goes into
stupid-slow mode if you have too many elements.
Getting the item that is at the top of the ListView is astoundingly
obscure, due to the ListView's extreme generality. I make a
simplifying assumption -- that we're using a VSP -- which allows us
to use a simple vertical offset once we've dug the appropriate
object out of the visual tree. (The alternative is to walk through
the list of items and see what's on screen, or perform a hit test
calculation in the upper left corner.) Yay WPF.
Doesn't work 100% correctly -- in some cases, using two different
combos in quick succession will fail -- but it's close.
Added stub methods for the four hint operations.
