Basicly what I want to achieve is to create a listpicker that looks like a scroll. When you click it the scroll expands and shows the entire options. Therefore I am not interested in using the full-screen look.
I have also done other tries with similar bad success where I used designed usercontrols as the scrolls top and bottom for animations. But the design of the listpicker has been impossible to do.
My question is therefore if somebody has a design of the listpicker, using usercontrols, such that I can override them or if you can direct me towards how to manipulate the listpicker correctly. I have used blend, experssion design, Illustrator and XAML, so any method for designing the listpicker using either of them would be much appreciated!
Visual Example
So the idea is something like this:
Such that the text is inside the scroll, when you click it, the scroll expands with a list inside you can scroll to choose elements.
UserControl
Usercontrol of a scroll
Pictured Overview
The selected Item:
Click the element and a list appears:
This is how a listpicker works I want to design it as a scroll, either all from scratch or using the tool listpicker description, is what I am looking for. I have however not succeeded in making the expanding look nice.
I have made it the most simple I can. The idea is the following: the Translate and Scale properties are animated between states, others like Height, etc aren't. So Let's create the Layout like the following:
<StackPanel Width="500">
<Grid x:Name="HeaderGrid" Height="100" Background="Red" Tapped="HeaderGrid_Tapped"/>
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" x:Name="ContentGrid" Height="400" Background="BlanchedAlmond" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<ScrollViewer>
<ItemsControl>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Tapped="TextBlock_Tapped"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.Items>
<x:String>One</x:String>
<x:String>Two</x:String>
<x:String>Three</x:String>
</ItemsControl.Items>
</ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="BottomGrid" Height="100" Background="Red" Tapped="HeaderGrid_Tapped" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
Now let's add some visual states to the page, control or what you need
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="VisualStateGroup">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.5"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Expanded"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Collapsed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(CompositeTransform.ScaleY)" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentGrid" d:IsOptimized="True"/>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="-400" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(CompositeTransform.TranslateY)" Storyboard.TargetName="BottomGrid" d:IsOptimized="True"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
And finally the codebehind for the change of states
private void HeaderGrid_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
CheckState();
}
private void TextBlock_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
var value = (sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext;
CheckState();
}
private void CheckState()
{
if ((ContentGrid.RenderTransform as CompositeTransform).ScaleY > 0)
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Collapsed", true);
else
VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "Expanded", true);
}
Now you can add fade on the text when appears and disappears, and change the colors for images, etc. But the idea is solved.

I am developing a universal Windows 10 app. I want to customize a textbox to remove its default border hover and background.
My problem is that I do not know how to customize on the Universal Windows Platform.
Here is the code that I am using:
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<!--layoutroot where all page content is placed-->
<Grid x:Name="layoutRoot" Background="#1BA1E2">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<!--Title Page-->
<TextBlock Text="Login Here" Foreground="White" FontSize="40" Padding="60,80,60,80"/>
<!--username-->
<Border CornerRadius="10" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" Margin="5">
<TextBox PlaceholderText="Username" Name="Username" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" GotFocus="Username_GotFocus"/>
</Border>
<!--Password-->
<Border CornerRadius="10" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" Margin="5">
<TextBox PlaceholderText="Password" Name="Password" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" GotFocus="Password_GotFocus"/>
</Border>
<!--Button login-->
<Border CornerRadius="10" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="1" Margin="5">
<TextBlock Text="Log In" Foreground="White" Margin="0" Padding="200,5,0,5"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel><!--end StackPanel-->
</Grid><!--end Grid layoutRoot-->
</Grid>
Here is a screenshot of my UI problem:
When I put the mouse pointer over a textbox, it changes the border and the background.
To customize TextBox, we can edit TextBox styles and templates.
Firstly, we can open "Document Outline" in Visual Studio by open "View" → "Other Windows" → "Document Outline".
Then in "Document Outline" select the TextBox we want to modify, for example, select "Username" and right click, then select "Edit Template" → "Edit a Copy...".
This will popup a "Create Style Resource" dialog. And by default it will generate the default style under Page.Resources like:
<Page.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TextBoxStyle1" TargetType="TextBox">
...
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
After this we can edit the style and template to achieve what we want.
The hover style is defined in "PointerOver" VisualState.
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="BorderElement">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlBorderBrushPointerOver}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="BorderElement">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlBackgroundPointerOver}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlPlaceholderForegroundPointerOver}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentElement">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlForegroundPointerOver}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
To remove its default border and background, we can just delete the animation target BorderBrush and Background like:
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
<!--<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="BorderElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlBorderBrushPointerOver}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="BorderElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlBackgroundPointerOver}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>-->
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlPlaceholderForegroundPointerOver}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ContentElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlForegroundPointerOver}" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
And the "Focused" VisualState is the same.
Besides, form the default template, you can find TextBox has already had a Border in it.
<Border x:Name="BorderElement" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="1"/>
So we can just add CornerRadius="10" in this Border:
<Border x:Name="BorderElement" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="1" `CornerRadius="10"`/>
And then use this new style in TextBox without additional Border like:
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<!-- Title Page -->
<TextBlock FontSize="40" Foreground="White" Padding="60,80,60,80" Text="Login Here" />
<!-- username -->
<TextBox Name="Username" Margin="5" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="White" GotFocus="Username_GotFocus" PlaceholderText="Username" Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle1}" />
...
</StackPanel>
If you want to apply this style to all TextBoxs in the Page, you can remove x:Key="TextBoxStyle1" in the Style and don't set the Style property of TextBox:
<Page.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
...
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
With this, the style will apply to all TextBoxs in the Page automatically.
I am using Toolkit control LonglistMultiSelector. I have no more knowledge of styles. I want to do my longlistselector as shown in image please help me. my code for longlistMultiSelector is:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="PictureItemTemplate">
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="109" Height="109" Margin="2,2,0,0" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Source="{Binding Image}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<toolkit:LongListMultiSelector x:Name="GridSelector"

GridCellSize="111,111"
LayoutMode="Grid"
HideEmptyGroups="True"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource PictureItemTemplate}" Height="500" VerticalAlignment="Top"
SelectionChanged="selectionChanged"
/>
Thanks ..
You can try this. It works for wp8.

I have Path element inside my button, and I want it to change color when the button is pressed. Binding to Foreground property doesn't seem to work. The simplified code is below, especially important is this bit: Fill="{Binding Foreground, ElementName=SwitchLanguages}" on Path element. I am sure there is an easy way to do this, but for some reason I was not able to find it.
<Button
Name="SwitchLanguages"
Background="WhiteSmoke">
<Canvas
Width="46.5"
Height="44"
Clip="F1 M 0,0L 76,0L 76,76L 0,76L 0,0">
<Path

Height="44"
Canvas.Left="0"
Canvas.Top="0"
Stretch="Fill"
Fill="{Binding Foreground, ElementName=SwitchLanguages}"

</Path>
</Canvas>
</Button>
If you check "System.Windows.xaml" in the SDK, you will see that it's actually a template child that has its Foreground modified when the button is pressed, not the control's Foreground property itself.
The ideal approach here will be to modify the Template of the Button control. That way you can put the Path there, and modify its color as needed using the "Pressed" VisualState storyboard. For example, the below modifies the default ControlTemplate, adding your Path element and modifying its Fill property when the "Pressed" visual state is triggered:
<Style x:Key="MyButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">

<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">

Put the above in your application resources, and use it like this:
In the OnClick event change the button's foreground color such as
SwitchLanguages.Foreground = Brushes.Blue;
That will change the binding's color for your path item due to its binding.
I have a simple app I'm making and I am having a little trouble with the different states (Full, Snapped, etc).
Below, is how my app looks in landscape, full screen view. As you can see, it has 2 grids. One left aligned, and 1 right aligned:
Now, when the user snaps my app to the left or right, I want only the second grid (on the right: Grid TWO) to be visible in snapped mode, like this:
How can we achieve this?
I have tried several things but my current code doesn't work either. I know it's wrong but here it is anyway:
<!-- Back button and page title -->
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="backButton" Click="GoBack" IsEnabled="{Binding Frame.CanGoBack, ElementName=pageRoot}" Style="{StaticResource BackButtonStyle}"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="pageTitle" Grid.Column="1" Text="{StaticResource AppName}" Style="{StaticResource PageHeaderTextStyle}"/>
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Margin="120, 30, 0, 0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox x:Name="theList" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="240" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Background="{x:Null}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListBoxItem Content="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<TextBox x:Name="theNote" Text="{Binding ElementName=theList, Path=SelectedItem.Content, Mode=TwoWay}" AcceptsReturn="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="245,0,10,0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" BorderThickness="0" />
</Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<!-- Visual states reflect the application's view state -->
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ApplicationViewStates">
<VisualState x:Name="FullScreenLandscape"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Filled"/>
<!-- The entire page respects the narrower 100-pixel margin convention for portrait -->
<VisualState x:Name="FullScreenPortrait">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="backButton" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Style">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PortraitBackButtonStyle}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<!-- The back button and title have different styles when snapped -->
<VisualState x:Name="Snapped">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="backButton" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Style">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource SnappedBackButtonStyle}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="pageTitle" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Style">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource SnappedPageHeaderTextStyle}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
you need the following:
<VisualState x:Name="Snapped">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Grid1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource SnappedBackButtonStyle}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
You'll see that we're setting Grid1 to be hidden and Grid2 to be of a specific width. This will happen when the page is moved to "Snapped" state.
try to add this in the visualstate = 'snapped'
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="GridOne" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">

The second grid in your code snippet has a left margin of 120 pixels. The text inside it has a left margin of 245 pixels, to place it to the right of the list. Margins on nested objects will be additive, so the effective left margin for the text is 365 pixels (not even considering what else it's nested in). Unless you are also changing these margin values when the page is placed in snapped view, the text will be too far to the right to see. (Recall that snapped view is only 320 pixels wide!)
Here is a very simplified example of two grids on the page. Note that Grid2 has a large left margin to place it on the right of Grid1. The textboxes inside the grids have NO left margin.
<Grid x:Name="Grid1" Grid.Row="1" Margin="120,30,0,0" Width="240" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBox x:Name="theFirstNote" Text="This is grid 1." AcceptsReturn="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,10,0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" BorderThickness="0" />
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="Grid2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Margin="370,30,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TextBox x:Name="theSecondNote" Text="This is grid 2." AcceptsReturn="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,10,0" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" BorderThickness="0" />
</Grid>
When the VisualState changes to Snapped, not only do we have to change the visibility of Grid1, but we also have to change the margin of Grid2 so it's actually visible:
<VisualState x:Name="Snapped">

I have a textbox and which is higher then a "normal" textbox. I am only able to enter text if I click on the "first row" of the textbox. How can I make it possible to click on any part of the textbox and be able to get the cursor shown because this is pretty anoying if you have a 5 line textbox and have to click on the first line to enter some text
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="0,0,15,0">
<TextBlock x:Name="lblObjective" Text="Objective" Style="{StaticResource TextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock>
<TextBox x:Name="Objective" Text="{Binding ObjectiveText, Mode=TwoWay}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Height="120" Width="500"></TextBox>
</StackPanel>
Edit:
This is the template that affects all textboxes in my application. Can anyone say what I need to add to be able to click anywhere on the textbox and still get the caret instead of having to click on the first line

If I remove the whole template everything works fine (i.e. wherever I click on the textbox I get a carret) but then the rest is also lost. So I am missing something any ideas?
Edit 2:
<ScrollViewer x:Name="ContentElement" BorderThickness="0" IsTabStop="False" Margin="4,0,2,2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="{x:Null}"/>
was the root of the problem... Instead of having VerticalAlignment="Stretch" it was set to top and therefor only one line was clickable...
I'm not sure what you are seeing but I find that in such a textbox clicking anywhere in the textbox gives it the input focus so I can start editing (regardless BTW of the state of AcceptsReturn although you should have that turned on).
However if the place you click in the box is beyond the end of the current string value the caret is placed at the end of the content not at the place you clicked. This is common text box behaviour, the text box in stackoverflow where I'm typing this has the same behaviour.
If you want to be able to start typing anywhere in the TexBox then you will need to detect the text position of the mousedown and inject the appropriate amount of whitespace. Not a trivial matter.
