Ping function message box not working

Hi all, I am trying to use several different buttons to ping different ip's.

So far only the first 3 buttons have ip's on them using their tags

There is no error output message and it builds correctly, however, the Ping messagebox is not displaying.

Please see attached code here: https://paste.mod.gg/nnjlefslfqhc/1

I don't see any instances of in your xaml, so how are your buttons wired to your codebehind?

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 9:27 AM

Oh my apologies I changed all the names after pasting the code

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 9:27 AM

Still wasn't generating the popuo

Popup

Btw you can self-close tags if they have no content: instead of

canton7•4/9/25, 9:28 AM

So, if the code you actually tried is different, update the code in your paste

canton7•4/9/25, 9:28 AM

There aren't any click handlers in your XAML

@canton7 im looking at the latest bit of code you pasted in terms of how you would do it. I'm just wondering how would i apply the xaml. Does that take over my entire grid ?

canton7•4/9/25, 11:54 AM

Yeah, the ItemsCollection dynamically generates buttons (using that DataTemplate), and lays them out using that WrapPanel

canton7•4/9/25, 11:54 AM

That binding approach only really works if you're doing MVVM proper though -- it's painful if you're using the codebehind (but still do-able)

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 11:56 AM

data template being this ?
PingButtons = new BindableCollection<PingButton>()

canton7•4/9/25, 12:00 PM

No, the

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:07 PM

Yeah

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:07 PM

Would it be worth me converting my code to that now

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:07 PM

or not really ?

canton7•4/9/25, 12:09 PM

Up to you

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:14 PM

Umm well i have say 9 pages with about 5-10 of those buttons on each page

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:14 PM

is that easier ?

canton7•4/9/25, 12:15 PM

Depends how much you like copy-pasting

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:24 PM

i don't mind if i knew exactly what i was doing

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:24 PM

canton7•4/9/25, 12:28 PM

Time to learn!

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:55 PM

@canton7 could I ask you for a massive flavour favour

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 12:55 PM

well massive for me, maybe miniscule for you

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:05 PM

I am struggling to understand how you converted the functions and xaml earlier.

This is my current latest version.
It also has a function of which a button will pull an image from an ip address. I've used google as an example. However thats wrong because the ip address will be the same ip address of the device above it. For example DE camera, and DE snapshot will be the sameip

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:06 PM

whats the chances of helping me fix my code to utiilse your way and fix that function at the same time. because i believe that will help with both ping and image function

@canton7 did that explanation even make any sense

canton7•4/9/25, 1:34 PM

Sorry, haven't had a chance to look

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:34 PM

all good, bud i know you are busy with your cuppa

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:36 PM

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:36 PM

this is a visual of what im talking about

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:37 PM

so imagine the top row would be devices that i would use the ping function for

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:37 PM

so there could be 5-10 of them

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:38 PM

the bottom row i am hoping to achieve, will open an image of the camera using the same ip from the top device

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:38 PM

in a popup window that i can close

canton7•4/9/25, 1:38 PM

So each "item" is two buttons, one on top of the other?

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:38 PM

yes sir

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

well under each other

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

i have grid.row 0 = the ping function

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

and grid.row 1 = the snapshot function

canton7•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

I'd structure that as an ItemsCollection, with each item being that pair of buttons with some spacing between them

canton7•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

It's annoyingly hard to data-bind to grids, useful as they are

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:39 PM

Could you help me out with that? I've really got no clue

canton7•4/9/25, 1:40 PM

I'm afraid I've got a chunk of work to do this afternoon

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:40 PM

feel free to tell me to fuck off

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:40 PM

ok well in the interim, could you possibly just help correct my function slightly

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:41 PM

to save your time

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:42 PM

atm i have this

pauliologyOP•4/9/25, 1:45 PM

trying to get it to just take the ip from the Tag Property
