how to create specific cordova version project?

What is good WPF application framework for MFC document style project?

• I want to create simple File Editing based application, a typical advanced version of NotePad or WordPad, which should have menus and undo/redo buttons on toolbar etc. In MFC, there was a wizard to automatically create a document based project which will contain default UI. In WPF, there is no such thing, MVVM exists but its too basic to start, I have to anyway write almost everything. Toolbar/Toolbar buttons, menus, keyboard shortcuts. Is there any good framework that provides these things? I have seen WPF Application Framework , PRISM and other MVVM libraries, but it hardly contains anything for editing UI.

• Answer:

  As you noticed, WPF doesn't provide such a control out of the box. The other frameworks you mentioned are primarily for dealing with separation of concerns and some common helpers that can be used (commands, messenger etc.,). So, that leaves us with a couple of options: 1. Write your own toolbar - keyboard shortcuts can be easily managed if you choose to implement commands instead of handling click events in the code-behind. You can read more about commanding and keybinding here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752308.aspx   If you choose this route, you might also want to look at the Ribbon control, which most modern applications use instead of a toolbar: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff799534.aspx   2. Look at third party controls like these: http://www.telerik.com/products/wpf/overview.aspx http://www.infragistics.com/products/wpf http://www.componentone.com/SuperProducts/StudioWPF/ http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WPF/ Given that you are looking at implementing something like notepad or wordpad, I'd recommend option 1 - as almost all the third party controls are not free (although they offer a free trial) and they're usually preferred if you have a bigger project at hand.   Hope this helps!
