Help forcing UI to use Actipro NotificationCard

Hello,

You should be able to access our Notification control theme with "{actipro:ControlTheme NotificationCard}" in XAML.  So for instance you could set a Notification.Theme to that in XAML, or could make a custom ControlTheme that is BasedOn the above.  Do either of those work for you?

When I do this:

<Style Selector="NotificationCard">
  <Setter Property="Theme" Value="{actipro:ControlTheme NotificationCard}" />
</Style>

I can see the styling of the card itself changes correctly. But the content inside the NotificationCard gets messed up.

It now shows the Notification class ToString() text Avalonia.Controls.Notifications.Notification instead of showing the Notification properties: Title, Message, and NotificationType

Any ideas?

Hi JP,

Are you on v11.1 beta of Avalonia?  If so, I believe they changed some of their templates, which might be what prevents this from working for you.  Our templates are based on Avalonia v11.0.

Here is the specific commit I found where they altered the templates, and is what I suspect changes things to no longer work with the template we have.

I see. Do you know of another way to achieve this? Thanks.

Hi JP,

Now that Avalonia 11.1 (and newer) is available, all you should have to do is make sure you're using a version of our controls that is compatible with the version of Avalonia you are using.  The following lists which versions of our controls are compatible:
