1. Which version of Blend can I use for Noesis? I have VS 2015, it is ok?

2. I never used Blend before, can I create themes in Blend and use it in Noesis?

Noesis.GUI.SetApplicationResources(themeDictionary);

I have checked the profiler and it says that the problem is in noesis, the frame drops to 15 fps on my PC.
The problem is on the iPad when you see the animation freeze, even with some simple views.
That is the reason I have changed my code to never instantiate new UserControls, the problem with this approach is that the memory usage is much higher.

@nokola, I never thought about this case. I think it should not be hard for the Noesis team to just add a simple flag which will avoid returning elements with IsHitTestVisible==false. Full delegate approach as in WPF will be much harder to implement due to C#-to-C++ interop... and I really can't see a good use case for it. A simple HitTest overload with the simple Boolean flag will be more than enough for most cases.

We think that the correct approach is to implement the callback version of HitTest function.

Would be best indeed to have extra overload to allow circumventing WPF's problematic behavior.

Edit: Update on the other jittery scrolling issue: as I suspected wasn't due to Noesis. We fixed the jittery scrolling on our side.

Yes, Blend for Visual Studio 2015 is fine.

2. I never used Blend before, can I create themes in Blend and use it in Noesis?

Yes, you can create a ResourceDictionary in Blend and define styles there for all your controls. Then you can use that as the global dictionary of your application:

Code: Select all

Noesis.GUI.SetApplicationResources(themeDictionary);

In Unity you can set that dictionary in NoesisSettings > Application Resources.

I also recommend you following our Blend tutorial, it was updated a few days ago.
