PMPage Control

A WPF framework for developing SolidWorks PropertyManager Pages (PMPage) using XAML and data binding — no handler code required.

Features

• XAML-first design — declare PMPage controls, layouts, and bindings declaratively
• No Handler code — no PMPageHandler.cs; the framework handles all COM interop
• Full data binding — all properties support WPF {Binding}, two-way by default on value properties
• MVVM-ready — works with any WPF MVVM framework
• Design-time preview — controls render placeholders in the Visual Studio designer
• Native SW controls — wraps all SolidWorks PMPage control types
• Multi-tab — native SW tabs via SldTabControl
• WPF content hosting — embed any WPF UI inside a PMPage via SldContentHost
• TaskPane support — host WPF UserControls inside SW Task Panes

Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.8
• SolidWorks 2018+ (IPropertyManagerPage2Handler9 support)

Installation

Install the package from NuGet:

dotnet add package Du.PMPage.Wpf

Or via Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Du.PMPage.Wpf

Or add the PackageReference directly:

<PackageReference Include="Du.PMPage.Wpf" Version="0.0.2" />

Quick Start

1. Add a WPF UserControl that inherits from SldPMPage

<pmp:SldPMPage
    x:Class="MyAddin.MyPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:pmp="https://github.com/weianweigan/PMPageControl/wpf"
    PageTitle="My Feature"
    PageHeight="500">

    <pmp:SldGroupBox Caption="Settings">
        <pmp:SldTextBox SldCaption="Name" Text="{Binding Name}" />
        <pmp:SldNumberBox SldCaption="Size" Value="{Binding Size}"
                          Minimum="1" Maximum="100" />
    </pmp:SldGroupBox>

</pmp:SldPMPage>

2. Code-behind

public partial class MyPage : SldPMPage
{
    public MyPage() { InitializeComponent(); }

    public MyPage(ISldWorks sw) : this()
    {
        App = sw;                          // Must be set before ShowPage()
        DataContext = new MyViewModel();
    }
}

3. Show the page

var page = new MyPage(SwApp);
page.ShowPage();
