Avalonia.ExtendedToolkit

Fork of original ExtendedToolkit from mameolan, porting to Avalonia 11 and Dotnet 8. Original blocks of code, commented during rewriting are labeled by ".orig". Dangerous changes are labeled by ".editing". Not working Views code (XML) labeled by "bad view".

Things to do:

1. Fix themes management (replace "XamlColorSchemeGenerator" dependency) and re-implement themes changes.
2. Controls Extensions re-implementation (KeyExt etc).
3. Fixing View code - what to do with "ItemTemplate" removed in Avalonia 11 (not removed, changed? AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#11281)
4. Controls fix - fix ItemContainer methods (AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#9677 ?), removed in Avalonia 11 and other staff.

Original code taken from @maeolan and some blocks from @Nekohim3, but heavily rewritten

Avalonia.ExtendedTool wants to port some controls from the WPF to Avalonia.

Most styles / ideas where taken from:

• MahApps Toolkit
• Extended WPF Toolkit
• WPF Toolkit (Microsoft)

etc.

{
   if (ApplicationLifetime is IClassicDesktopStyleApplicationLifetime desktop)
   {
        var window=new MainWindow();
		ThemeManager.Instance.EnableTheme(window);
        desktop.MainWindow = window;
   }

   base.OnFrameworkInitializationCompleted();
}
