Our Silverlight Gallery design has been “borrowed.”

Instead of cluttering up the general Vectorform blog with Silverlight content we decided to create it’s own space…

Vectorform’s Silverlight Blog with Code Examples

Here is a basic Combo Box component that is easy to implement and customize. It supports automatic scrolling when the number of items exceed the specified height and is fed by an array.

We have set up a Silverlight portal showcasing some examples we’ve been working on as well as a demo page listing all the stuff we’ve thrown together. The source code is included so dive in and have look…

Another update to the scrollbar component. Just made some tweaks to make it easier to implement/instantiate. It’s getting closer to more of an OOP style but it’s not all the way there yet. Now all you have to do is call/instantiate the scroller like this:

myScrollPanel=new createScrollablePanel(”sp1″, 10, 10, 100, 160, “V”, the_text, “#FFF”, 9, null, “#0000FF”)

with the following parameters…

unique name, xpos, ypos, width, height, direction, text, [text_color, text_size, text_font, bg_color]

bracketed items are optional, I haven’t converted the horizontal portion yet so only “V” (vertical) is available

This makes it way easier when you have multiple scrollers on the page. The mouse wheel support also got carried over and works when the mouse is over the particular textfield you want to wheel thru. There are now properties in the constructor to control other options like color, spacing, etc.

Here is an updated version of the scrollbar component I released earlier but this new version has Mouse Wheel Support:
