Dialogs on a 3D cube...

Dialogs on a 3D cube...

• Danny Crowell

  You can use a visualbrush to paint the sides of the cube with the different dialogs, though you won't get any interactivity from that, only a real-time updated image.
  
  We don't currently supply an interactive alternative to visualbrush.

  It is possible to create your own brush that would implement this What I mean to say is, will this senario ever be possible (it would be incredibly cool ;) )

  To clarify, this has been asked on the newsgroups and answered;

  Basically, it's probably not going to be a feature for version 1. Perhaps you should submit a suggestion
  
  The basic idea behind getting this to work (by yourself), it to catch al possible events on the  object that is being pained by the VisualBrush, determining which control on the VisualBrush it corresponds to, and routing the event that way. For example, if they click, it determines if a button was clicked on or a textbox was clicked on and sends the data that way. Now, I don't know how the control's focus works in this case, but theoretically if you are painting a Textbox control to a side and it has focus, the 3D side should update with a flashing cursor. When text is entered, that textbox should still have the focus and text should be entered and dynamically updated in the VisualBrush.
  
  Of course, I've never done this before ;)
