Xamarin : Segmented Control for windows uwp

How can I make a custom renderer for Segmented Control in windows UWP. I followed this link to custom render the segmented control in IOS and android. But I couldn't find anything for windows UWP. Can anyone provide any resource in this or is there any alternate way of doing this similar to segmented control in windows UWP.

I found the Solution myself.
I recently found a nuget package FreshEssentials. It has the implementation of segmented button group. Follow this github link to find the implementation. It is easy to use.

There is a Xamarin Forms cross platform library now that does this.
Plugin Segmented Control for .NET Standard

I did it once with custom-styled RadioButtons. Edit the RadioButton style for your buttons - create checked and unchecked styles that are looking as you want and give them the same group so you can select only one button at the time.
Don't know if there is any easier way.
edit: sampe code, edit it the way you want:

How to fullfile text mask in textbox

I am using infragistics controls for masked input. I created my own masked input for IP address and inherent class from XamMaskedInput.
The inherited class looks like:
public class IpMaskedTextBox : XamMaskedInput
{
BrushConverter bc = new BrushConverter();
public IpMaskedTextBox() : base()
{
Background = (Brush) bc.ConvertFrom("#F0FAFF");
BorderThickness = new Thickness(0);
BorderBrush = null;
Padding = new Thickness(5,0,5,0);
FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold;
VerticalContentAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
HorizontalContentAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
}
// Prevent space character
protected override void OnPreviewKeyDown(System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPreviewKeyDown(e);
switch (e.Key)
{
case Key.Right:
e.Handled = true;
break;
case Key.Left:
e.Handled = true;
break;
}
}
}
and the appearance on xaml:
My question is, how can I full fill the prompt char on whole scope from textbox, that does not have free spaces on right and left.
Here the link to infragistics xamMaskedInput API.
Update:
The result should be like this:
Update 2:
Finally i found the style:

LongListSelector with list item selection style

I am working on Windows Phone 8 and i have Longlist selector with few item in it.
I am using the below code for highlighting the selected item in the list box.But i want the same effect to be achieved for LongListSelector.
How to do it ?
<Style x:Key="ListItemSelectorStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>

<Setter Property ="Foreground" Value="Black" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Border x:Name="ListBoxItem" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"

Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
</Border>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

I try your code, but the LongListSelector control display a list of selectable items with a mechanism for users to jump to a specific section of the list. This is the sample code.
But if you want achieved the effect like ListBox, you can set the template
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="phone:LongListSelector">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" d:DesignWidth="480" d:DesignHeight="800">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ScrollStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="00:00:00.5"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Scrolling">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="VerticalScrollBar"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="NotScrolling"/>
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Seleced">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="ViewportControl">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Green"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ViewportControl x:Name="ViewportControl" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
<ScrollBar x:Name="VerticalScrollBar" Grid.Column="1" Margin="4,0,4,0" Opacity="0" Orientation="Vertical"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>

How to Create Border around LongListSelector SelectedItem

I would like to create a border around the currently selected item within a LongListSelector, but I am having trouble getting the proper implementation. From referencing http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/Highlight-a-selected-item-30ced444 I have tried to follow the sample code by creating a custom Style to manage the selected item change, although I am trying to place a border around an image instead of a textbox. Also, I do have a custom ItemTemplate as my DataTemplate for my LongListSelector which manages the size of my bound images and controls a required ContextMenu for each item.
For some reason, I am having trouble adapting the sample to place a border around a selected item, but what I have so far is as follows
MainPage.xaml
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">
<!--<Border x:Name="brd" CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" Width="Auto" BorderThickness="3">-->

</Viewbox>
<toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>

public static void GetItemsRecursive<T>(DependencyObject parents, ref List<T> objectList) where T : DependencyObject

I can't test it rigth now because I'm at work and I only have VS2010 but try changing
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
You need to use an integer.
You are trying to change the thickness of the border using a color.
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="3"/>
[EDIT]
It seems that LongListSelector don't let us easily template the selected item...
With the solution of Johannes Wanzek https://stackoverflow.com/a/13874389/1408558
I managed to do what you want:
Delete your old xaml and code behind code, and follow these steps.
You need to put those styles on top of your page

<Style x:Key="PhoneButtonBase" TargetType="ButtonBase">

And here some of the namespaces you may need:
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
xmlns:eim="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Media;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions"

Check out my alternative answer here How to highlight the selected item of long list selector in windows phone 8
It shows the example for the background color but could just as easily be adapted for the border color of something
Might not be the ideal way to do it but its simple and clean and works for me

Select Multiple Dates in one calendar control with different SelectedBackgroundColor

I want to make a calendar like this:
The main idea is to select with diferent days each day with some color selected in a radiobutton. Radiobuttons piece of code is done and works fine but, i have not idea how to select days in one color, because MultipleRange select mode, each time clear the days selected...
I'm working with styles but is so complicated...
