Multi Page Application with WPF and Kinect SDK 1.0 ?

Question

Hello

I'm trying to make a Multi Page Application with the Kinect SDK 1.0

I can trigger a Button Event and in this Button Event i want to switch to a new Page.

private void button6_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Page2 page2 = new Page2();
            this.NavigationService.Navigate(page2);   
            //StopKinect(kinectSensorChooser1.Kinect);
        }

I'm working with the Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.WpfViewers and i got the Video Stream in this page1 with the kinectSensorChooser1 (a XAML Element that can be used via drag and drop from the toolbox)

As i switch to new Page2 the kinectSensorChooser is not working anymore, i also tried to pass the kinectsensor object to the page2 but this is not working at all. When i try to pass it and not stop the KinectSensor, the Page1 is running in the background an generating X/Y Data via Console.Writeln but Page2 doesn't get values and i can't the see the video image.

Is there a nice and easy way to make multipage Applications with the Kinect SDK 1.0?

Answer 1

You could use a class to hold important functions and global variables should be declared in the code page for the window.xaml file before everything except import statements.  I think making the sensor variable global to the whole  wpf form to stop the kinect anywhere in the same wpf form would be a nice way to do it.

Answer 2

Your top level WPF Window could host a <Frame /> element.

Put the KinectSensorChooser in the Window...which never goes away.
Navigate the pages inside the Frame.

I would go look at WPF samples/forums to solve this.
Let us know if you need help or when you solve this.
