WPF: TradeEntry and Blotter
I bolted a few XAML screens that a colleague kindly generated for me onto my WPF+CAB application:
Be aware that WPF doesn’t support (or have a datetime calendar control) MDI so if you’ve got a trading application that’s current MDI, you’ll need to consider either multiple tabs (not really going to work for certain scenarios where the trader wants to see all the screens all the time), a dock panel system, or something more ingenious.
Loving those drop shadows, eh? Kudos for bringing the first trading platform to WPF! I’d be interested to see a little “how to”!
I was wondering what’s your take on WPF performance? I’m developing .NET application for the financial industry as well and just recently started looking at WPF. However, I found it to be quite a resource hog if you want to do something like realtime updating charts, stock tickers, etc.
