Alternative version of Kai Timmermann's WPF control to add/remove/edit tags/tokens

Differences:
  - Can be databound to any object (using Tags and DisplayMemberPath)
  - Scrollable view when there are two many Tags
  - Can be styled/themed to change the color, foreground and tags background
  - Tags are added via the datamodel not through the control itself

Getting Started

First import the package to all the relevant projects

Import-Package AltWPFTagControl

In the App.xaml import the template dictionary

   <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/WPFTagControl;component/Themes/ColorsAndIcons.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>

In your view model, create an observable collection of the objects you want to use for tags

      Tags = new ObservableCollection<Thing>()
        {
            new Thing()
            {
                Name = "Tag 2",
                Value = 1,
            },
        };

Added the namespace to your window or controls

xmlns:cont="clr-namespace:WPFTagControl;assembly=WPFTagControl"

Lastly Add the control to the layout

        <cont:TagControl x:Name="ctl_Tags" BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1"
                     VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Tags="{Binding Tags}"
                     DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                     MaxHeight="74">
    </cont:TagControl>

Use the Tags property on TagControl to bind the items to the control and DisplayMemberPath to determine what property is used for the tag text

Styling

You can override the styling by providing alternatives to the resources list below. This can be done in the App.xaml or with the usercontrol or host controls.

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TagHighlightBrush" Color="White" />


<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TagForegroundBrush" Color="White"/>

<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="TagBackgroundBrush" EndPoint="0,1">
    <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="#5890f0" />
    <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#0351d7" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
