I want to show the time in a shortcut. The contents of the shortcut must be updated automatically when the window loads.
I have a simple WPF window with a Label control. As shown here
<Window x:Class="shoes.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid>
<Label Margin="12" Name="lblSeconds"></Label>
<Button Margin="68,22,135,0" Name="button1" Height="24" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="button1_Click">Button</Button>
</Grid>
</Window>
I looked at the code available here: http://geekswithblogs.net/NewThingsILearned/archive/2008/08/25/refresh--update-wpf-controls.aspx
And I changed like this:
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
private static Action EmptyDelegate = delegate() { };
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (IsLoaded)
{
LoopingMethod();
}
}
private void LoopingMethod()
{
while(true)
{
lblSeconds.Content = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
lblSeconds.Refresh();
Thread.Sleep(10);
}
}
}
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
private static Action EmptyDelegate = delegate() { };
public static void Refresh(this UIElement uiElement)
{
uiElement.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Render, EmptyDelegate);
}
}
I found that the code works very well when it fires through the button_Click event. I tried to get the code to fire the Window_Loaded event like this, but in vain. The contents of the window are never displayed.
What can I do to update the shortcut automatically when the window loads?
