I need to make a representation of a voice mail call flow.
In this voice mail, I have actions such as reading text or a menu in which you have to press a number on your phone to go to another action.
My first thought was a treeview (I need to make it in C# wpf), but in the call flow, a next action can be an action already listed. So there will be duplicates.
Do you have any idea about how I could represent this call flow?
EDIT:
Sorry I miss the most important thing.
I want the user to be able to click on it and then text content will be display on a textbox to be modified.
Every action is an object and has content that I want to update

I am using Microsoft Bot Framework with C# and my requirement is to show few images one by one to user and get feedback on each of them by click of button.
Later I need to process all the inputs collected.
I have implemented this logic inside a single step dialog within a waterfall.
I was trying to implement it by calling the same dialog again until all images have been shown to user, but the problem is that either same image keeps coming again and again or only one image is shown.
I wanted to know if this approach is feasible to achieve the desired functionality or I should consider taking any other approach
I am creating a dialog flow in MSBot and I am hard-coding the content which will be displayed in Bot Emulator.
For example I want to make the dialog flow for creating the steps, and in rich cards there will be a button for the next step. Now the content I will be creating for the rich card, I have to hard-code in C# if I have a single dialog flow.
But if I have to create the dialog flow for other possible use cases, then I have to hard-code it for everyone.
So is there a way to reduce my effort for hard-coding each of the dialogs? Because if I have to change the steps then I have to manually go to that file and change the whole logic.
It is possible to do this in a generic fashion, where the source for the dialog flow steps are retrieved from a database or some other store. Please see this simple example: https://github.com/EricDahlvang/MultiTurnHelpStepsBot
The current step is stored in context.ConversationData(), and when the user clicks next or back, context.ConversationData() is checked to determine what to show next.
I've created a simple dialog here with a list of people. All I want to do is a few simple things which are rather trivial in winforms. However I'm struggling to grasp how to do this in wpf with an mvvm approach. Could someone help me out please.
When the user hits the Add New Person button, I want a dialog to appear where a user can type in their Name and either hit OK or Cancel. If the user hits OK, it appends the person to the list. (keep in mind i'll add more edting fields for the users to input, for example last name...)
When the users has a single item in the list selected, i want them to give them the ability to click an 'edit' button showing a dialog similar to the one in the previous step, pre populated with the selected items data, so a user can edit the properties. Then depending on if they hit OK or Cancel the changes are committed.

To create and display dialogs using MVVM, you'll want to implement a dialog service pattern to handle such requests. This service would be called from within your view model.
There is a really informative Code Project article about this very topic (Showing Dialogs When Using The MVVM Pattern. My advice would be to read that article and then look through the source files accompanying the article. This should provide you with a very good starting point to achieve your use cases (custom dialogs) and can also be used for displaying standard dialogs too (e.g. open file, save file, browse folder etc).
The service pattern isn't the only way to implement this, in the following article I show how to do it using the same data-driven mechanism used for regular windows:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/820324/Implementing-Dialog-Boxes-in-MVVM
I suggest this tutorial for you to get started. However, for the dialog Xceed library has some cool custom controls that may help you.
I have an app where you could go through in views like;
play -> normal or custom -> select map -> summary -> start
I would like to make a shortcut option from play to summary, but I also want navigation back to select map page with the back button functionality.
So the normal workflow p->noc->sm->summary but I want to implement p->sm with the noc<-sm<-summary back functionality too (with the windows phone back button).
I saw how can I delete items from the backstack, but google not helped me how can I navigate through a couple of windows without showing that to the user.
Am I need to override the back button or there is a "better" way to do that?
It's a WP8 project.
Edit:
I didnt need the exact codesnippet for this just a design concept in this patform. (just for the is it duplicated guy)
My normal or custom and select map page should be randomized when I do the shortcut, both of these pages has a "button" which can randomize those settings, I just want a swipe->press->swipe->press->swipe actions shortened to a button press without loosing the 'post modification after randomized' feature.
After I read your comments I think I will handle the back button all of the mentioned views so the backstack will not be getting inconsistent at any state. If I understand well I can tell it in every page what is the "backed" page.
You can't inject pages into the backstack. You can override the back button and do a forward navigation with the animations you would normally do when going backward (and then remove the page you just came from off the stack), but honestly, this all gets complicated and for good reason. One of the few hard truths of Windows Phone design is that you shouldn't mess with the backstack.
Instead, I would rethink your flow. It seems like your second page is a setting of some sort (Normal or Custom). If that is changeable, maybe make a button that can float a modal popup on top of the page and move things around according to the new decision.
Looking again at your flow, it seems like several of the pages may be settings. Can you combine those into one page, maybe on a pivot or panorama? That way making changes is just a swipe away.
Regardless, while it is possible to do what you are looking to achieve, I would look long and hard at whether it is actually the best experience for your users.
I have a c# application that runs in the bottom right corner of the page, i was wondering how i could go about making my application appear when the user selects some text anywhere (say a pdf, browser etc) and then right clicks, goes to my custome selection bit say and it pastes that text in to my running application.
If anyone made any sense of that could you advise me in to what i need to be researching to get it done.
Thanks
I've got this dictionary which does something similar.
Here's its mode of operation (or at least what I think it does)
When there is a double click, it sends a key command (probably Ctrl+C) to copy the selected text. It then reads the text from the clipboard.
For your purpose, you could implement the mouse listening and sending keystrokes with this article I found on CodeProject: InputManager library.
You then retrieve the copied text from the clipboard and do whatever you want with it.
Have a look at a Clipboard monitor
You can hook into the windows messaging api, probably there is a Text-selected event.
