Im trying to develop simple intro in my Xamarin app [For UWP], similar to slideshow with navigation dots ( https://github.com/chrisriesgo/xamarin-forms-carouselview - i think its too complicated, and its not for windows platform. Another example but its not work : https://gist.github.com/adamped/9367c64e64e12e063508309f35a9d6eb#file-carouselview-indicators) . Is there any easy way to add dots to Xamarin.Form.CarouselPage ?
Slideshow.cs:
public SlideShow()
{
Children.Add(new SimpleContentPage1());
Children.Add(new SimpleContentPage2());
Children.Add(new SimpleContentPage3());
}
App.xaml.cs
var slidePage = new SlideShow();
MainPage = slidePage;
Each ContentPage has some image / label / custom control.
Is there any easy way to add dots to Xamarin.Form.CarouselPage?
Sure, let's see how Xamarin implements this control:
For UWP, Xamarin uses the Renderer under Xamarin.Forms.Platform.WinRT namespace, see CarouselPageRenderer.cs
public class CarouselPageRenderer : FlipView, IVisualElementRenderer
It actually inherits from FlipView control.
So we can create a style which target type is FlipView and add an item indicator.
Create a control for indicator(LINK):
public sealed class FlipViewIndicator : ListBox
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="FlipViewIndicator"/> class.
/// </summary>
public FlipViewIndicator()
{
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(FlipViewIndicator);
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the flip view.
/// </summary>
public FlipView FlipView
{
get { return (FlipView)GetValue(FlipViewProperty); }
set { SetValue(FlipViewProperty, value); }
}
/// <summary>
/// Identifies the <see cref="FlipView"/> dependency property
/// </summary>
public static readonly DependencyProperty FlipViewProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("FlipView", typeof(FlipView), typeof(FlipViewIndicator), new PropertyMetadata(null, (depobj, args) =>
{
FlipViewIndicator fvi = (FlipViewIndicator)depobj;
FlipView fv = (FlipView)args.NewValue;
// this is a special case where ItemsSource is set in code
// and the associated FlipView's ItemsSource may not be available yet
// if it isn't available, let's listen for SelectionChanged
fv.SelectionChanged += (s, e) =>
{
fvi.ItemsSource = fv.Items;
};
fvi.ItemsSource = fv.Items;
// create the element binding source
Binding eb = new Binding();
eb.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
eb.Source = fv;
eb.Path = new PropertyPath("SelectedItem");
// set the element binding to change selection when the FlipView changes
fvi.SetBinding(FlipViewIndicator.SelectedItemProperty, eb);
}));
}
Theme(themes\Generic.xaml):

I have a WPF application where I need the user to pick one and only one corner of an onscreen box.
It makes sense to me that the type of button would be a radio button. Exactly one corner can be selected at a time.
But, Radio buttons are naturally round in Windows and WPF. But WPF allows someone to restyle the UI elements, if they understand how.
Can someone show me how this could be restyled. I would like to see it done in a way that would not affect the look of the other radio buttons in the same window.
To style the RadioButton the way you want it, you'll need to change its ControlTemplate to a custom one. This link has a sample ControlTemplate. I've adapted it so that the RadioButton shows up as a square. It's a simplified ControlTemplate in that it has no animations:
<Style x:Key="SquareRadioButton" TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{DynamicResource RadioButtonFocusVisual}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<BulletDecorator Background="Transparent">
<BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Grid Width="13" Height="13">
<Rectangle
x:Name="Border"
StrokeThickness="1"
Stroke="Black"
Fill="White"
/>
<Rectangle
x:Name="CheckMark"
Fill="Black"
Visibility="Collapsed"
Margin="2"
/>
</Grid>
</BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed" />
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames
Storyboard.TargetName="Border"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Stroke.Color"
>
<DiscreteColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="LightGray" />
</ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames
Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMark"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Fill.Color"
>
<DiscreteColorKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="LightGray" />
</ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CheckStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Checked" >
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames
Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMark"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Visibility)"
>
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{x:Static Visibility.Visible}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Unchecked" />
<VisualState x:Name="Indeterminate" />
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<ContentPresenter
Margin="4,0,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
RecognizesAccessKey="True"
/>
</BulletDecorator>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
You can then apply it to the RadioButton you want to style:
<RadioButton Style="{StaticResource SquareRadioButton}" Content="Option 1" />
in my wp app I would like to have all the controls' color black; for textblocks and textboxes I just declared a style in my dictionary like this:
<Style x:Key="TextColor" TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
</Style>
I also have some time picker controls and a checkbox in which I couldn't modify the color of the header and the box respectively. This is what I did:
CheckBox VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Margin="0,110,0,0"
x:Name="dayOffBox"
Content="Day off?" Checked="DayOff_Checked"
Foreground="Black"/>
In this way,the text "Day off?" that is the content of checkbox is black, but the box is still white.
Same for the Header of time pickers. Do I have to change the default color of the app's text? How can I do that?
You can edit any control style by editing the default style of the control. In the case of the CheckBox it is the following:
<Style TargetType="CheckBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource CheckBoxBackgroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource CheckBoxBorderThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{ThemeResource PhoneBorderThickness}" />

To change the color to black you need to change for example the Fill property on the CheckGlyph Path element from CheckBoxForegroundThemeBrush to another value. Or you can completely change the visual appearance of the CheckBox control. You can experiment for yourself.
Another way is to override any of the following resources by adding them to your App.xaml:
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxBorderThemeBrush" Color="Black" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxContentDisabledForegroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxContentForegroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxDisabledBorderThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxDisabledForegroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxForegroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPointerOverForegroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPointerOverBorderThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPressedBackgroundThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPressedBorderThemeBrush" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxPressedForegroundThemeBrush" />
The meaning of what they will change is self descriptive and they need to have exactly the same name.
Your App.xaml may then look like this:
<Application
x:Class="MyApp"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
RequestedTheme="Light">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<!-- Overriden theme resources -->
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Light">
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxBorderThemeBrush" Color="Black" />
</ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Dark">
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxBorderThemeBrush" Color="White" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<!-- Other resources -->
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
As for the TimePicker the default style is the following:
<Style TargetType="TimePicker">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlFontSize}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource TimePickerForegroundThemeBrush}" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TimePicker">
<StackPanel Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="HeaderContentPresenter" Style="{StaticResource HeaderContentPresenterStyle}" Margin="0,0,0,-3"
Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" />
<Button x:Name="FlyoutButton"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
BorderThickness="2.5"
Padding="6.5,0,0,3"
IsEnabled="{TemplateBinding IsEnabled}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" />
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
So the solution for the TimePicker header color would be to create a new TimePicker style, and set the Foreground of the HeaderContentPresenter element, or you could just change the HeaderTemplate of the TimePicker without creating a new style:
<TimePicker Foreground="Black">
<TimePicker.Header>
<TextBlock Text="Header Text Example" Foreground="Black">
</TimePicker.Header>
</TimePicker>
or
<TimePicker Foreground="Black" Header="Header Text Example">
<TimePicker.HeaderTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Foreground="Black">
</TimePicker.Header>
</TimePicker>
Did you tried overriding default brushes?
Like adding entry in App.xaml merged dictionaries:
<ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Default">
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ApplicationForegroundThemeBrush" Color="Magenta" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
I have a ListBox (actually, i have a Telerik's RadJumpList, but afaik it is inherited from ListBox) with custom ItemContainerStyle. Each item contains a rectangle (tile) and 2 strings. So far, it works okay by default: when i'm selecting an item, color of strings is changing, and rectangle has const color.
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1">
<Grid Margin="0,0,12,12">
<Rectangle
x:Name="SlotTile"
Width="99" Height="99" Fill="Gray"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0">
<TextBlock
FontWeight="Black"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}"
Text="{Binding Title, Converter={StaticResource ToUpperConverter}}" />
<TextBlock
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiBold}"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}"
Text="{Binding Information}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
What i want to do now is to customize selected item: tile's color should be changed, while color of the strings should be the same.
I'm trying to set a custom style, using VisualStateManager, but i have no idea how to get rectangle's and string's color.
<Style x:Name="MySlotStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="SelectionStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName=""
Storyboard.TargetProperty=""
/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Unelected">
<Storyboard>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
So, the question is how to set DataTemplate's properties from the Style.
EDIT: uploaded a sample: http://1drv.ms/1cJrjZ4
EDIT2: i extracted (and modified a bit) a style from checkbox: http://pastebin.com/2JV7d5We
They are describing the control inside of the ControlTemplate.
So, i planned to get rid of DataTemplate and move everything to the Style.Template.ControlTemplate. Now, when i'm trying to create a Template binding to a new property (color of the rectangle), it says "the member fill is not recognized".
<Style x:Name="TestStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid Margin="0,0,12,12">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

You should edit a copy of the ItemContainerStyle style and put your grid that acts as your container inside it. Then you can edit the VisualState.Selected storyboard and set the target as your Rectangle and the TargetProperty as Fill.
Here is the XAML code for the ItemContainerStyle:
<Style x:Key="ItemContainerCustomStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Border x:Name="LayoutRoot" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="LayoutRoot">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource TransparentBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To=".5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentContainer"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="SelectionStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Unselected"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Selected">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Fill" Storyboard.TargetName="SlotTile">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid Margin="0,0,12,12">
<Rectangle
x:Name="SlotTile"
Width="99" Height="99" />
<ContentControl x:Name="ContentContainer" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
EDIT: you could even simplify it by using the Border container element from the default style. Thus you can remove the Grid and Rectangle elements.

Can't you set those properties by name?

How to customize the WP7 ListBox Selected Item | Part1
How to customize the WP7 ListBox Selected Item | Part2
I am making a Windows 8 store app, and I want a HyperlinkButton that changes its color whenever it is clicked or mouse is hovered over it. Please provide me with its whole coding. I have looked everywhere, but none are working for my project. I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2012.
Okay, right out of the box, here's the full implementation (Windows 8.1):
<Button Style="{StaticResource TextBlockButtonStyle}">Hello World</Button>
First, I recommend that you do not attempt to customize the colors. This helps ensure a level of visual alignment with your app and the rest of the ecosystem. So, you might tweak the look and feel by changing the theme like this:
<Button RequestedTheme="Dark"
Style="{StaticResource TextBlockButtonStyle}">Hello World</Button>
<Button RequestedTheme="Light"
Style="{StaticResource TextBlockButtonStyle}">Hello World</Button>
However, sometimes you must customize more. I get that. So, if you want to customize those colors, you will need to override the theme. Like this (in app.xaml):
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Dark">
<!-- normal -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonForegroundThemeBrush" Color="Blue" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Transparent" />
<!-- hover -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonPointerOverForegroundThemeBrush" Color="Red" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Transparent" />
<!-- pressed -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonPressedForegroundThemeBrush" Color="White" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonPressedBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Red" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Runny enough, I asked a similar question a while back Simple hover effect in XAML?
Best of luck!
You have two choice. Either you can customize the default style of HyperlinkButton or you can change the value of required default system brush (This will create effect to all HyperlinkButton).
System brush of HyperlinkButton.
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkButtonBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="Transparent" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkButtonBorderThemeBrush" Color="Transparent" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkDisabledThemeBrush" Color="#66FFFFFF" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkForegroundThemeBrush" Color="#FF9C72FF" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkPointerOverForegroundThemeBrush" Color="#CC9C72FF" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkPressedForegroundThemeBrush" Color="#999C72FF" />

HyperlinkButton styles and templates
Upon a button click event, I am showing a border around an item in a LongListSelector. I have having an issue, however, when leaving the page and then returning. When leaving, I would like to programmatically unselect the item (which is working) but the border around the item still shows when returning to the page. How might I remove the border as well? This is very confusing when a user expects no item to be selected when the original page is loaded, whether it be from application start or from being navigated to from another page.

You've shown a lot of code but most of it doesn't seem to be relevant to your actual question. You also haven't made it clear how you're highlighting the selected item.
Based on the limited information you've provided I'd guess that you're using code to trigger changing of the state/style of the item.
You're then changing the SelectedItem property on the list but you haven't bound this to anything and so it makes no change.
The simplest solution would be to bind to the selected item and have a different state when selected.
Alternatively, if you really want to use a button press to trigger the highlighting, you'll need remove this highlighting in a similar way. That is, on page exit you clear the highlighting from whatever item is highlighted. This could be done by walking the visual tree to identify the highlighted item, or having a [bound] property on the underlying viewmodel which you can query/update.
