How to use the Expression Blend 4 ranged property control
Is there a way to use the nifty Expression Blend ranged value control in your own projects?
This one:
Edits:
I would really, really love to know.
Solution
I made an attempt a while back in WPF to remake the ColorPicker and I needed a similar control to enter the R, G, B and A values.
It's not complete but it gives a pretty good start. It supports dragging and typing but I picked a different dragging scheme because I dislike the Blend drag.
Here's what I did:
[TemplateVisualState(GroupName = "EditStates", Name = "DragMode")]
[TemplateVisualState(GroupName = "EditStates", Name = "TypeMode")]
public class ColorComponentSlider : Control
{
static ColorComponentSlider()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(ColorComponentSlider), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(ColorComponentSlider)));
}
private bool _isTemplateApplied = false;
private TextBox _textBox;
private TextBlock _textBlock;
private GradientStop _gradientStart;
private GradientStop _gradientEnd;
private Grid _progressGrid;
private bool _isDragging = false;
public string Component
{
get { return (string)GetValue(ComponentProperty); }
set { SetValue(ComponentProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for Component. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty ComponentProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Component", typeof(string), typeof(ColorComponentSlider), new UIPropertyMetadata("R", OnComponentPropertyChanged));
private static void OnComponentPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var colorComponentSlider = sender as ColorComponentSlider;
colorComponentSlider.UpdateChildControls();
}
public Color Color
{
get { return (Color)GetValue(ColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(ColorProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for Color. This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty ColorProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Color", typeof(Color), typeof(ColorComponentSlider), new UIPropertyMetadata(Colors.Black, OnColorPropertyChanged));
private static void OnColorPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var colorComponentSlider = sender as ColorComponentSlider;
colorComponentSlider.UpdateChildControls();
}
private void UpdateChildControls()
{
if (_isTemplateApplied)

if (comp == "A")
{
_gradientStart.Color = Color.FromArgb(0, Color.R, Color.G, Color.B);

colorComponent = Color.A.ToString();
progress = Color.A;
}
else if (comp == "R")
