The next page to convert, going by date was a demo I put up on February 21, 2007, and is a "GlyphMap" utility as shown here:
This one was only difficult to convert because the code and xaml is somewhat involved. The normal 'plumbing' came into effect as well as some interesting animation things having to do with the slide-out menus.
I believe it's all working, but let me know if you find something that isn't. I've got 4 different 'ding' fonts displayable, 3 'skins', and a non-skinned version running. I have included in the download a Paint Shop Pro template for the skin bits if you want to try your hand at it :)
Of course as with others I've converted, tackling this with Expression may be fun once I get past all this :)

It has been brought to my attention that this demo does not run successfully in Firefox. I can't test/fix this until this evening, so you'll have to bear with me on it. I had no IE/FF problems with WPF/E (including this demo!), and became lax in testing on both platforms, looks like I will have to start doing so once again.

I posted a message on the Silverlight Forum about this, because all I can tell is that it appears that my "Loaded" JS isn't running all the time in Firefox.
Other fun enhancements are:
- font/skin menubar glyph replaced by Path object to enable mouse messages
- All ToolTips posted to a single ToolTip Canvas object at the top of the Z-order
- All graphics/fonts are now back to being read from the local folders rather than forcing an explicit web location in the xaml
Someone conversant in Firefox and/or JavaScript that can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would very much appreciate the assistance!
