I want to add some custom controls to the word flow just like the 6tag app
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks.
Windows Phone doesn't support adding custom dictionaries or responses to the soft keyboard itself.
What you can do is add your own control above (but outside) the soft keyboard to display your own suggestions. The app can handle the InputPane.Showing event to find the location of the input pane so the app can place its controls just outside the occluded rectangle.

is there a way to implement custom suggestions to the touch keyboard when user using a specific application?
As user types in this application, only these custom suggestions (or maybe mixed between the native suggestions from cortana/windows 10 and also the app user is currently using) will be displayed on the touch keyboard.
The system touch keyboard does not offer extensibility yet, so you can't provide custom suggestions there. You could only implement similar functionality as a "popup" above the entry field the user is currently editing. You could utilize a custom Flyout to do this.
I'm having an input form with multiple TextBox elements and I would like to add a "Next" button on the touch keyboard that allows the user to advance to the next TextBox.
I've tried experimenting with the CommandBar as BottomAppBar (hide/show it based on touch keyboard visibility) but it doesn't really fit the purpose I think. What's the way to do it?
It is not possible to customize software keyboard in UWP app.

I think you've made a good decision to use CommandBar as BottomAppBar, and to hide/show it based on touch keyboard visibility. There is no facility for defining custom keyboard layouts in an application, so a bottom Commandbar is the best choice in this scenario under the current condition.
As a learning project in C# .net I am re-creating a Gnome 3 plugin for seeing who of the streamers you follow on Twitch is live. I have the settings form done, I am now working on the interface that is viewed from a click on the taskbar.
This is a rough image of what I want the interface to look like. When two or more streamers are live the interface would add another block and resize the form vertically similar to the menu for selecting a Wifi network in Windows.
What would be the best way for me to complete this?
My current thought is to maybe create a custom control and just place those inside a FlowLayoutPanel with some kind of code to change the vertical size of the form to match the added entries. Maybe this can be done without a custom control and be done with code inside a FlowLayoutPanel? I'm not too sure.
Ideally I would also have a click event in the panel for each streamer so I could then open a browser to their channel. A slight highlight would also be a plus (maybe change the background colour based on mouse hover).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
As title suggest, i have wpf user control hosted in windows forms application. Text box in user control doesn't seem to accept "Delete" key. Most of other keys are working fine.
Google search pointed to two useful links :
Link1 : Not useful as it works only for window and not user control.
Link2 : Not able to follow it completely as i am not much aware about windows messages and its interoperability.
Thanks in advance !
Does the key work in WPF project?
If you're using "KeyPress"-event, change it to "KeyDown"-event instead, so it can read "Delete"-key too.
If you are using a different event use the PreviewKeyDown event.
Also, is it working in a normal WF app ?
Does anybody know if this control comes with the windows phone 8 SDK or if I must program it?
This screen appears when I go to people => click + icon. There are many very similar screens in windows phone but I don't know if they're ready controls or custom ones.
What I need is a screen that hides all background and just shows a list of options upon clicking a certain button, and I want to handle application overflow depending on the option the user chose.
Any ideas?
You can use the CustomMessageBox from toolkit http://phone.codeplex.com
it takes a Content that can be a listbox or user control.
and you can make it take the full screen.
