Check this out: Vista simulated by WPF/E!

• Airan

  I might mention that this link is not new, although they are probably updating it as time goes on...

  This was first done using the December CTP!

  It definitely gives us all something to think about...

  Javascript are also heavily used in the WPF/E. It's the only way to control wpf/e's object.
  We use DOM to control our DHTML object like as div, input, image, and use js to change the css.
  Now we use js to change xaml as the same of html+CSS, and use WPF/EOM like DOM to control the object.
  
  It is also a lot of work to do in WPF/E. We just get a strong UI support from WPF/E.
  
  The one which is I most wanted is WPF/E can support to IFRAME, so that I can use HTML parts like GOOGLE MAP in my WPF/E project.

  function bringVisualElementToFront(parent, elem) {
  if (elem == null) return;
  if (parent == null) parent = rootCanvas;
  parent.Children.Remove(elem);
  parent.Children.Add(elem);
  }
  
  why CTP version is not support to the z-index

  Looking behind the scenes at some of the Javascript running this app, it seems like there's a pretty rich Windowing/Widget toolkit at play. It does not appear to be all done using ASP.NET Ajax script toolkit.

  Is there another JS library in use here I also note that the MAC OSX Silverlight simulation done by c'est-la-vie also uses a similar library.

  Any ideas where somebody could get up to speed on the Javascript architecture in use in these apps

  This is truly WOW! we ran the demo in Firefox and I must say that this could change our development as we are stuck in the HTML/CSS/Javascript world and are committed to delivering a rich UI. The one thing missing in the demo is the lack of forms (grid) with data binding, is that a limitation of WPF/E if so it is show stopper

  Well, Cest la vie, WPF/E does support IFRAMEs. Actually HTML supports them, and javascript may create and manipulate them. If IFRAMEs are inside <div> element with higher z-index, they would appear above WPF/E.
  
  In fact, in this www.windowsvista.si site, IFRAME is used. But you should speak slovenian to find and use it. Anyway, you may open the main HTML and you will see IFRAME below WPF/E host.

  Wow. All the Xaml is created via javascript objects. Pretty cool stuff there. Makes my iphone demo look silly. :)

  Thanks for your answer.

  But this is not the means of wpf/e has supported to IFRAME, it means the iframe can be used in DHTML and Wpf/e can used with them together, so that we can't use it in xaml, like the object as TextBlock.

  If wpf/e is not support to iframe, that means we can't use the 2D or 3D effects on it

  At the time of development the z-index functionality wasn't availiable.

  It's slovenian (judging from the domain name).

  Nevertheless, this is awesome! And they even put in features that was only released yesterday.

  Only feature I'm lacking here is the cool 3D tabbing through the running windows :-)

  I like the fact that Windows Media Player runs WAY better than it does in a remote desktop, which makes me wonder whether remote desktop should use WPF instead...
