MaterialDesign- Flipper WPF: Alignment & Scalling is skew.

I'm using the Material Design in a WPF XAML application, I've got this section of code bellow, when the grid is outside of a "materialDesign:Flipper" it all renders correctly; ie- it grows/stretch's correctly with the size of the window and it stacks nicely inside of the StackPanel.
However, as soon as I place this code inside of a Flipper, the scaling and positioning becomes skewed. If I start to change the size of the window it will resize funnily and will not stack nicely. Please see both the image and video bellow for more info. Thank you.
Please note all this code is contained within side a "StackPanel", the intention is such that they can be copied and pasted multiple times.
Working Code outside a Flipper:
<Grid Height="89">
<Grid Width="77" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="7,3,0,2" Panel.ZIndex="2" Height="84">
<Ellipse Fill="{Binding Colour}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="77" StrokeThickness="3" Stroke="#FF464646" Width="77" Effect="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignShadowDepth2}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" Width="90" FontSize="{Binding FontSize}" Foreground="White" />
</Grid>
<UniformGrid Rows="2" Columns="1" Panel.ZIndex="3" Margin="89,18,72,0">
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding BrandName}" FontSize="24" Grid.ColumnSpan="1"/>
<Label Content="Brand Name" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" Margin="-2,-3,2,3"/>

<materialDesign:Card Margin="24,0,5,5" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Height="72" Panel.ZIndex="-1" />

C# Teststack.White: sometimes unable to find button

I have a WPF application with one window. In that window I have several StackPanels and several Buttons. White can find each Button perfectly, but with exact the same code just one single Button is seldom found and often not found. I was unable to find out what the cause is for this behaviour. Thats why I came to you guys.
Note: Before the buttons are shown, there is another view (in the same window) that waits for the server to respond. As soon as the response is in, the buttons get displayed.
Here my testcode:
[TestMethod]
public void ClickBarPayment_ViewExchanges()
{
DelayedStart(5);
Application app = null;
try
{
app = Application.Launch(SutPath);
try
{
var window = app.GetWindow("CfeMain");
var button = (Button)window.Get(SearchCriteria.ByAutomationId("CashButton"), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60));
button.Click();
Assert.AreEqual(false, button.Visible);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Assert.Fail(e.Message);
}
}
finally
{
app?.Close();
}
}
You can assume, that the Buttons are all equal and all have a Tag " Name="" ". Here is the XAML code, I remove unnecessary names with "Blabla" a.s.o.
<StackPanel Name="PaymentContent" Visibility="Visible" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Height="60" VerticalAlignment="top" Margin="20,0,10,0">
<TextBlock FontSize="24" Foreground="#0b0b0b" Name="info" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">Bla</TextBlock>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="5,0,5,5">
<Button Name="Blablabla" Click="Blablabl_OnClick" Style="{StaticResource MainButtonBottomLeft}" Background="#efefef" Margin="0,10,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="490" Height="200">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="400" Height="200">

<Image Source="/Images/Blasdsd.png" Width="95" Height="35" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
<Button Name="CashButton" Click="Cash_OnClick" Style="{StaticResource MainButtonBottomRight}" Background="#efefef" Margin="0,10,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="490" Height="200">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="400" Height="200">
<TextBlock FontSize="28" Height="40" Margin="0,10,0,0" Name="NoteText">Bla</TextBlock>
<TextBlock FontSize="18" Height="30" Name="NoteInfo"><Run Text="Schweizer Franken Banknoten"/></TextBlock>
<Separator Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.SeparatorStyleKey}}" Background="#859fcd" Margin="0,10,0,0" Width="460" />
<StackPanel Name="noteIssuer" Height="100" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="/Images/100frank.jpg" Width="85" Height="55" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
<Image Source="/Images/50frank.jpg" Width="80" Height="55" Margin="0,0,5,0" />
<Image Source="/Images/20frank.jpg" Width="80" Height="55" Margin="0,0,5,0" />
<Image Source="/Images/10frank.jpg" Width="75" Height="55" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
<Image Source="/Images/qrCode.png" Width="51" Height="45" Margin="0,28" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>

Without actually facing the issue I can make only suggestions.
Potential reason could be that window object getting initialized prior to having all buttons enabled in actual Application window.
You could add a wait time prior to initialize window

How to get a control in a listbox on code behind windows phone?

I have a listbox in my windows phone application. In the listbox DataTemplate I placed a button. How can I get the button object in codebehind. I am not getting the reference of the rowButton in the .cs file. I want to change the button background color of button of each row. how can I get the button reference in the code behind ?
I following code I used for listview.
<Grid Height="530" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,30,0,0">
<ListBox Margin="0,0,0,0" Name="TransactionList">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Button Width="460" Height="150" Click="user_click" Name="rowButton" >
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="auto" Width="400">
<Image Width="80" Height="80" Source="{Binding Type}"></Image>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="150" Margin="20,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Name :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Name}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Date :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Date}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="40">
<TextBlock Width="100" FontSize="22" Text="Amount :" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text="{Binding Amount}" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Width="auto" FontSize="22" Text=" $" Height="40" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>

If you want to change background on user click, in the click event handler use
Button button1 = sender as Button;
button1.Backgorund = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
to change the background color.
Else bind the background property for each button and change its value on iteration of the items in the listbox.

Without seeing how you've tried to access this is in code it's impossible to say why what you're doing isn't working.
However it'll be much easier if you use databinding to set the color of the templateitem

Text Wrapping issue in silverlight for Windows Phone

I have a twitter feed in a list box in a app I'm making for Windows Phone 7. The problem I'm having is that the text of a tweet is being cut off the edge of the list box instead of wrapping around to a new line like this:
The list box is inside a panorama which works fine. This is my code:
<ListBox x:Name="cheapyListBox" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="400" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="132" Tap="Message_OnTap">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Height="73" Width="73" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,8,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="Auto">
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" FontSize="28" Margin="12,0,0,0" /> -->
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="20" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
How can I get the tweet text to wrap round instead of being cut off? Thank you.

Since your inner StackPanel is nested within a horizontal Stackpanel, it has no constraint of depth, and so the TextBlocks expand infinitely as the text becomes longer.
There are a variety of ways you can fix the issue, but an easy one (if you know the width that you want) is to set the inner StackPanel's width to a finite number.
For example:
<ListBox x:Name="cheapyListBox" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="400" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="132" Tap="Message_OnTap">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" Height="73" Width="73" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,8,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="400">
<!--<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" FontSize="28" Margin="12,0,0,0" /> -->
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Message}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Date}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="20" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Hope this helps!

Items hidden when added to HyperLinkButton

The items below show up normally when I do not have them inside the HyperlinkButton.
However, when I add them to the HyperlinkButton, they become invisible.
<DataTemplate>
<HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="/ViewChallenge.aspx">
<HyperlinkButton.Content>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,17">
<Image Height="100" Width="100" Source="{Binding Path=Challenge.Image}" Margin="12,0,9,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="311">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Challenge.Title}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
<HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="ViewUser.aspx" >
<HyperlinkButton.Content>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=User.Username}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
</HyperlinkButton.Content>
</HyperlinkButton>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</HyperlinkButton.Content>
</HyperlinkButton>
</DataTemplate>

As far as I know, the Hyperlink button only supports text. For example:
<HyperlinkButton Height="100" Width="300">
Hello World
</HyperlinkButton>
Maybe you should use a Button control and set a Control template and enter the XAML you mentioned above inside. It makes more sense in my opinion. Try this:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MyButtonTemplate" TargetType="Button">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,17">
<Image Height="100" Width="100" Source="{Binding Path=Challenge.Image}" Margin="12,0,9,0"/>
<StackPanel Width="311">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Challenge.Title}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=User.Username}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
And simply set the template for your button like so:
<Button x:Name="myButton" Template="{StaticResource MyButtonTemplate}" Click="myButton_Click"/>
And then do the navigation inside the click event.
