WPF is great piece of technology coming out from Redmond , it's kinda of really good when you're building nice presentation, that really shines. But for most enterprise developer, who needs to deal with data frequently, the lack of certain data aware control is a huge limiting factor, and we all know that, there's no DateTime data control in WPF. Kevin Moore's bag o tricks created a pure WPF dateTime picker but the feature far behind what's offered by Windows Forms. Fortunately we could use any Windows Forms control in WPF with WindowForsm Intergration(crossbow). Basically we're going to create a UserControl, put a grid in and off we go <UserControl x:Class="Bespoke.Forensic.CommonControl.WpfDateAndTimePicker" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:swf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
xmlns:wfi="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"
Name="root"><Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions> Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions><wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl> wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
<UserControl x:Class="Bespoke.Forensic.CommonControl.WpfDateAndTimePicker" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:swf="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms"
xmlns:wfi="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.Integration;assembly=WindowsFormsIntegration"
Name="root"><Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions> Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions><wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl> wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl> <Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl> wfi:WindowsFormsHost Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
<swf:DateTimePicker x:Name="wfdateTimePicker" Format="Custom" CustomFormat="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm tt"/>
</wfi:WindowsFormsHost>
</Grid>
</UserControl>Then we need to create proxy property for the WF DatePicker to be able to do DataBinding, we're going to need DependencyProperty public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty; public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty;static WpfDateAndTimePicker(){ IsDropDownOpenProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("IsDropDownOpen", typeof(bool), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnIsDropDownOpenChanged, null));ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(DateTime?), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));} static WpfDateAndTimePicker(){ IsDropDownOpenProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("IsDropDownOpen", typeof(bool), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnIsDropDownOpenChanged, null));ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(DateTime?), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));} = DependencyProperty.Register("IsDropDownOpen", typeof(bool), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnIsDropDownOpenChanged, null));ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(DateTime?), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));} new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnIsDropDownOpenChanged, null));ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(DateTime?), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));} = DependencyProperty.Register("Value", typeof(DateTime?), typeof(WpfDateAndTimePicker),new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));} new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(DateTime.Now, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault, OnValueChanged, null));}
