New Look - CoApp Package Maker

Last week I updated the UI.

Main parts are:
 List of Package Rules on the left side and rule's details on the right side.
   The Rules with Bold font are Mandatory rules and with  Normal Font are optional rules.
   The Color Green or Red show if  edited rules contains some errors or no.
Available Buttons
   There  are two groups of the buttons :
   [ Open, New]
   [ Save, Undo, Redo, Reset ]


In the bottom part is a Panel containing help tip and errors list. ( it is possible to resize these parts  using splitter)
Help Tip
When a UI control (ex.,text box) is focused the help tip is displayed in the GroupBox.
Errors List
Error List Header color is green when there are no errors, if is red at least one error exist it become red.

The Intensity (Opacity) of the red color is binding directly to the errors number.








Validation Rule on each Property:

Is made by adding validation rules directly on binding:
 <Binding  Path="Version" >
                    <Binding.ValidationRules>
                        <local:ValidationRule  ValidationStep="UpdatedValue"     ValidatesOnTargetUpdated="True"/>
                    </Binding.ValidationRules>
  </Binding>

->The red border for the Textbox, when validation rule returns false is default behavior.


In the top part is a place reserved for the menu/ navigation bar (is left blank now). Possible options are: File Editor (Working part), Quick Edit (drap and drop tool), Help.

Idea with green and blue colors  came from CoApp Style:
